Simon Guobadia Explains Why His Kids Don’t Film For Porsha Williams’ Spin-Off Series

Porsha’s Family Matters certainly isn’t dry on drama. The only problem is, it all centers on Porsha Williams’ obvious need to portray a specific kind of image to the public. Thus far, story lines have centered on whether or not Porsha’s ex- and baby’s father, Dennis McKinley can have his own room or bring his own love interests to the get away. For some reason, Porsha is treating this “healing” trip as a vacation with her new fiancé Simon Guobadia. A man she swiped from her former cast-mate, Falynn Guobadia before anyone could say “seek help”. Despite all that, Porsha wants to deny Dennis any romantic company.

There is an obvious need for Porsha to do some real work regarding her co-parenting relationship. She has instead chosen to stand in opposition to Dennis’ mother for the better part of her new series. If you watched the most recent episode, I hope you caught the cliff hanger at the end. The latest episode of Porsha’s Family Matters ended with Porsha throwing a punch in Mama Gina’s direction after trying to kick her, Dennis, and “Dennis’ sluts” out of a family dinner. Inclusive!

Prior to the dinner disaster, Dennis spent time with Porsha’s sister and friends discussing his concerns for his new blended family. Dennis expressed worry that Porsha’s new man, Simon, may not see her as the real person she is. He feels Simon may only be seeing the ‘celebrity’ side of Porsha, rather than her true personhood. A very sweet and honest concern to have, in my opinion. Especially after all the buzz Porsha has garnered in her time on Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Fans on Simon’s Instagram and other social media pages have not been quiet about their questions regarding his new relationship with Porsha, either. People are wondering how Simon can be sure his soon-to-be fourth wife is ‘the one.’ They’re also curious about his family and children from his previous marriages. If you didn’t already know, Simon has five children. Thus far, he has kept them away from the Bravo cameras. After watching this mess, I can’t say I blame him.

After an Instagram user asked Simon about why his children and other family members haven’t been involved in the family-centric spin-off, he finally gave a response. Simon commented back to the follower and the moment was caught by Urban Belle Magezine. Simon wrote, “It is not necessary for my kids to entertain you or anyone else on television. They are busy with learning and being children. Hope this response suffices.”

For me, Simon’s response seems reasonable and sufficient. What I am still missing is the real relationship moments between he and Porsha on a show meant to highlight their love…

Jennie Nguyen Says She Can’t Wait to “Hold People Accountable” At The Reunion

It’s gotta be hard for a new housewife to try and come into a franchise that is completely overrun with another castmate’s scandal. Jennie Nguyen is one of those housewives. Unfortunately for her, her first season on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is completely overshadowed by Jen Shah’s legal drama. And Jen’s constant outbursts about who is with her or against her. Not to mention the rumor swirling that Meredith Marks is the one who tipped off law enforcement about where to find Jen when she was arrested. Meredith denies this.

But one of my favorite Jennie moments took place during that very tense scene. All the housewives were trying to figure out what to do when they were accosted on their party bus by the DOH looking for Jen. Lisa Barlow was calling her six lawyers. Whitney Rose was explaining the complex world of telemarketing fraud. Heather Gay was crying and asking if she should text Jen to give her a heads up. And Jennie? Jennie just wanted to go on their trip to Vail. While everyone fell apart, frozen with what to do next, Jennie simply told them, “I think we should just go.” Then she continued to eat her Cheetos, completely unbothered.

But Jennie has also made it a point to call out bs when she sees it. After a very racially insensitive remark by Mary Cosby about Jennie’s appearance, Jennie took her to task. While Mary seemed perplexed, Meredith seemingly backed her up. The rest of the ladies backed Jennie, rightfully so. Jennie made her point and she wasn’t letting Mary off the hook while she passionately described to her why what she said was wrong. So we know that Jennie is going to hold people accountable for their actions. And she plans on doing it at the reunion. She recently posted on her Instagram and stated, “People need to be accountable for the things they say. I can’t wait for the reunion!!!” She also tagged Bravo in the caption.

Her comments were flooded with support, although notably, no one from the cast of RHOSLC chimed in. Tiffany Moon, who faced her own racism on Real Housewives of Dallas, was quick to support Jennie. She commented, style=”font-weight: 400;”>“Love you girl. Sending you lots of hugs from Dallas.”

Another user added, “The way you spoke up was marvelous. You gathered everyone from the cast to the audience together and let them know what it is.” Someone else jumped in to say, “Oh, girl. We don’t need a reunion. We have your back.” Finally, another fan commented, “Proud of you for standing up for the Asian American community!”

While most first time housewives tend to dip their toes in the water, seeing where they fall in the pecking order, Jennie is a breath of fresh air. She doesn’t mind calling people out and she doesn’t take sh** either. Which is exactly what we need in a housewife.

Brandi Glanville “Can’t With” Heather Dubrow, Says Shannon Beador Is “Acting”; Calls Emily Simpson “Boring”

Brandi Glanville has a lot to say about Real Housewives. And it’s not just when she’s drinking. Indeed, Brandi was recently outed for being drunk during her interview for the Dave Quinn housewives tell-all. The Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of The Real Housewives From the People Who Lived It author had to pull the plug when he realized Brandi was drunk. Said Dave, “There was a certain point of our interview where I was like, ‘I have to stop talking to you because I think you’re a little loaded and it doesn’t feel ethical anymore’.” Raise your hand if you’re surprised that the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was loaded for an interview? I’ll wait!

But sober Brandi also has plenty of thoughts and they aren’t limited to her former costars on RHOBH. It appears as if Brandi has been following this season of Real Housewives of Orange County. As reported by Reality Blurb, Brandi joined Two T’s In A Pod podcast hosts Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave and Tamra Judge to discuss.

Brandi started, “I can’t with Heather [Dubrow]. I can’t with Shannon [Beador] either. I feel like she’s acting.” Brandi might not sound keen on Heather. But she does like a few things about her. Like seeing her big ole mansion and the luxuries that come with it. Which isn’t exactly a compliment when someone thinks that’s the only thing you bring to the table. Brandi added, “I like that Heather is so uptight. To see the house and all that, that is insanity. But I feel like I was ready for her to go when she left last time so I don’t really know why they brought her back.”

As for the rest of the cast, Brandi doesn’t hold back on them either. She dished, “Emily [Simpson] to me is boring. I like Gina [Kirschenheiter].” She added, “[But] I feel like there’s something… I feel like she’s madly in love with her ex-husband still and I feel sorry for the guy that she’s with. That’s what it looks like to me… Just the way she talks about him, though, and she’s like, ‘But this new guy, he’s great.’ I don’t know.” Tamra, who considers Gina a friend, jumped in to debunk that theory. Said Tamra, “I know her and I never noticed that.”

Either way, Brandi is clearly following along with the current state of RHOC. And I would bet that she is watching other franchises too. After all, if she couldn’t comment on them, how else would she stay relevant?

The Bachelorette Alum Blake Horstmann Is Dating Giannina Gibelli From Love Is Blind After Filming A New Show Together

We love a romantic reality TV crossover. Even one as chaotic as this, maybe. There has been rumors of a budding romance between The Bachelorette contestant Blake Horstmann and Love Is Blind super star Giannina “Gigi” Gibelli. The two are reported to have met on the set of a new reality show. The new show will feature stars from around the world. Contestants from shows like The Bachelorette, Jersey Shore, Love is Blind, and RuPauls Drag Race will “battle it out for a cash prize.” The show is set to air on Paramount+ sometime in 2022.

According to Instagram sleuths, Gigi and Blake have been spending plenty of time together since the filming of their new show wrapped. At least, that is how it appears. While all of this had pure conjecture, I must say, the photos told a tale before the love birds. Blake has posted photos of himself getting ready for events, out at dinner, and in various other places throughout his home in Denver, Co. Gigi has posted photos with the exact same location, with pretty near exact timing.

In several of Gigi’s posts it seemed obvious that she was in Blakes house. All it takes is looking at the background of the pair’s posts. She was caught in his backyard, laying in his bed, and standing in front of his bathroom vanity. In one of Blake’s posts, he even posted right in front of a dress Gigi wore later that night. Love is in the air, people.

According to People a source revealed Monday, after tons of internet speculation, that these two are “dating after recently meeting.” The source reveled that Gigi and Blake are “taking things slow but [they] seem really happy together.”

Gigi struggled to find love with Damian Powers after the two refused to get married on Love is Blind. Despite staying together as a couple, Gigi confirmed that she and Damian had officially split in August. At the time she acknowledged, “You definitely learn from all different kinds of love. I definitely learned from that.”

Blake, for his part, was the runner up during Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette. He also struck out BIG TIME during his time on Bachelor In Paradise. But that’s a whole story for another day.

Selling Tampa Star Sharelle Rosado & Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson Welcome First Child Together

Sharelle Rosado and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson announced the birth of their baby girl early this week on Instagram. The announcement was reported on by Entertainment Tonight. This is Chad’s eighth child and Sharelle’s fourth. They have named their newest daughter, and first child together, Serenity Paula Johnson. In his post, Ochocinco wrote, “Just delivered Serenity ‘Hurricane’ Paula Johnson. (i still have 2 lash slots available for January).”

Sharelle’s pregnancy with little Serenity was captured during the filming of her new Netflix real estate reality series. The Selling Tampa boss and new momma is featured as a realty broker on the show. The moment Sharelle told Chad Johnson about their pregnancy was captured for the series too. While there is no news yet about a season two, season one ends with Sharelle preparing to begin her maternity leave.

Selling Tampa follows the action at Allure Realty in Tampa Florida. The firm, owned by Sharelle, is an all-Black and all female run business. In contrast to the awkward and often flirtatious tone in Selling Sunset’s Oppenheim Group, you can expect the Allure firm to take a much more serious approach towards business relationships.

“Being in the military, it’s always taught me to have bearings. I incorporate my military bearings into Allure. They know I’m the boss, and I don’t tolerate anything,” Sharelle explained earlier this month. “If it gets out of hand, I don’t even have to raise my voice. I give them a look, and that stern voice comes on. They know it’s a time and a place for everything.”

But you know what they say about all work and no play. Sharelle also gets to enjoy herself during on the new show. At least, until she learns she’s pregnant. “It’s a little hard because while we were filming, there were times when the ladies were enjoying themselves, having fun, drinking. In the blink of an eye, you just had to cut off everything because now you’re pregnant,” Sharelle admitted. “I still feel like I’m the life of the party. But it’s just nice to give a toast with champagne. Can’t do any of that.”

All eight episodes of Selling Tampa are on Netflix waiting for a binge now!

Real Housewives Of Orange County Recap: In The Winner’s Circle

For the past five weeks, it’s felt really good to be excited about a new episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Hasn’t it? In fact, I really missed the show last week when it was on a break for the holidays. But thankfully it’s now 2022 and it’s back! And even though this week’s episode felt like quite a bit of filler compared to the four that preceded it, it still did enough to carry the various storylines forward and keep me enthusiastic. Here we go!

Back in 2021, Heather Dubrow and Shannon Beador were right in the midst of the battle of the high ponies. Or maybe the peace treaty of the high ponies? Who’s to say! Either way, it was the showdown we’ve been waiting to see since the premiere went left. But Heather pivots seamlessly from warning Shannon in one breath never to mess with her family again — OR ELSE — to promising she can forgive her despite not fully trusting her anymore. It’s a whiplash of emotions. But one that Shannon’s willing to endure to put this mess behind her, even if it means having to personally apologize to Terry Dubrow. And I for one am happy to see these two agree to move on and not draw this out for the entire season.

One feud I am interested in watching continue, though, is the animosity between Noella Bergener and Dr. Jen Armstrong. These two clearly despise each other and honestly? I’m kind of living for it. Very rarely does a newbie vs. newbie feud play well — it’s hard to get invested when you barely know either of the women. But in this case, it’s working so far. Jen pulls Noella aside at the party to try to clear whatever bad vibes are brewing between them. But instead, the latter uses the opportunity to escalate the fight, and calls out Dr. Jen for tagging her in some “poorly lit” selfie thanking all of her plastic surgery clients. It’s hilarious. But in reality, the hostility started way before Noella reported Dr. Jen’s weird selfie to Instagram.

Both were friends of former ‘Wife Braunwyn Windham-Burke, so they do have a bit of history. And if a certain text message screenshot I’ve seen floating around Twitter of Dr. Jen‘s is real, they viewed each other as competition for the same orange before the cast was overhauled. (And yes, I know everyone hates her, but I imagine production casting not just one, but two of Braunwyn’s pals as new ‘Wives was just salt in the wound after the chaotic former ‘Wife was fired following Season 15.) Noella was turned off by the good doctor right from the get-go, and slams her for being “thirsty” at an off-screen pow-wow at Braunwyn’s house. However, Heather and Shannon take it upon themselves to diffuse the squabble, but not before Noella tells her nemesis to “go be relevant somewhere else.”

Post party, which ends with all the ‘Wives belly dancing together, we’re treated to a whole bunch of filler. Shannon having lunch with her dad and all three girls (plus Sophie Beador‘s new boyfriend!), Heather‘s daughter Max Dubrow showing off the cover mock-up of her new book. (It’s all about being a teenager in the 21st century – very Clarissa Explains It All meets 2022.) Eventually, Noella meets up with Shannon at the office of their shared energy healer. As they debrief on their various dramas at the party, Noella decides to take a hard stance against Heather for the first time. Yes, she drunkenly called the returning vet a couple of names at lunch with Nicole James. But this time she labels Heather as “very manipulative” and “controlling,” and seems ready to keep fighting Shannon’s battle for her.

Meanwhile, Dr. Jen hosts Nicole, Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter at her house from some casual charcuterie, wine and gossip, The aesthetic doc laments in her confessional that the only friends she has are her employees, who are basically paid to be nice to her. Which maybe isn’t a great signal. Naturally, the topic of conversation is all things Noella. And Dr. Jen has an axe to grind.

The doctor claims she met her fellow newbie the day after her backyard wedding to James Bergener, but then immediately walks that back to speculate that maybe the Bergeners aren’t actually even married in real life. This confuses Emily and Gina, who both point out that Sweet James wouldn’t be able to file for divorce unless they were legally married. But Dr. Jen still has her doubts. And goes even farther by labeling Noella mentally unstable, not fully sane and in need of help. Just, you know, from a doctor’s perspective. And now Emily’s the one doubting, suspicious that maybe Dr. Jen is just trying to sully Noella’s name and reputation amongst their new group of cast mates friends.

The following day, Heather and Terry treat Gina and her boyfriend Travis Mullen to a day at the races. And all I can think about is how this scene at Del Mar mirrors the Housewives’ trip there way back in Season 4. Twelve years ago, Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge (then Barney), Jeana Keough, Lynne Curtin and newbie Gretchen Rossi filmed at the very same racetrack. They made a whole production out of the outing, complete with a private hat-shopping party at the St. Regis beforehand. (In the wake of their historic “Did you go to Bass Lake?” showdown at Javier’s, new frenemies Gretchen and Tamra fought over who got to wear a hot pink hat.)

Cliques formed at the racetrack, with Vicki and Tamra excluding the rest of the group, and poor Lynne feeling totally left out. And this was all before the iconic “Naked Wasted” dinner party! Cut to a dozen years later and this season’s trip to Del Mar is a much more drama-free affair. Besides the fact that Shannon or any of the other ‘Wives didn’t get an invitation. Gina‘s shocked to learn there’s an actual winner’s circle at the track. And not only that, they actually get to go down and stand in it during the race! Because that’s just the sort of thing that happens when you’re friends with Heather.

However, Gina does have some rather unsavory information to pass onto her new bestie. It turns out Noella‘s been doing more gossiping behind Heather‘s back. And this time, she’s trashing Fancy Pants behind her back to Gina. Though we don’t see it in flashback, she flat-out told Gina that Heather can’t be trusted. This…is not a smart move. And it leaves Heather wondering what she possibly did to earn the newbie’s ire. And also whether Noella deserves an invite to her party to celebrate Max‘s upcoming book launch.

Finally, the episode ends with Emily paying a visit to Noella‘s house for the first time for a very hush-hush heart-to-heart. No, but seriously. Like, Noella’s inexplicably speaking in a whisper throughout the whole conversation. She blames it on losing her voice due to stress, but Emily wonders if there’s a more insidious reason. Could the house be bugged? Is Sweet James listening in all the way from Puerto Rico? It turns out, Noella’s been served with divorce papers yet again. This time with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers to ensure she came to the door. Wow, that’s just…cold and low behavior.

Emily‘s also more than happy to fill Noella in on the fake wedding rumors being spread by Dr. Jen. Noella’s not exactly surprised to hear this, but it still stings nonetheless. And she has a perfectly reasonable explanation for the details of her wedding. They got married in a private, backyard ceremony during COVID. And they’ve only been legally married for a year, despite the fact that they’ve been together for six and their son is almost two. Emily makes it clear she is firmly entrenched on Team Noella, and proves it by tossing the shady bouquet of flowers — and maybe the secret surveillance equipment — firmly in the trash. Bye James, bye!

TELL US – ARE YOU GLAD HEATHER AND SHANNON MADE UP AND MOVED ON? WHO’S MORE THIRSTY: DR. JEN OR NOELLA? WHY DO YOU THINK NOELLA HAS IT OUT FOR HEATHER? AND IS EMILY GOING TO BE THIS SEASON’S BONE CARRIER?

We can already hear Wells Adams shaking up some summer cocktails! Clayton Echard's season may have just started, but we're already day-dreaming about paradise--ABC's Bachelor...

Danielle Staub Claims Caroline Manzo’s Husband Albert Manzo Pays For A Side Piece’s Apartment So She Can Live Nearby

Buckle in, people. This is a Danielle Staub story. Danielle is seriously high up on the list of unhinged Housewives. I will never, and I mean NEVER, recover from her bringing uninvited Hell’s Angel guests to a child’s cancer charity event. The moment took place at Caroline Manzo and Albert Manzo’s Brownstone venue during season two of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Danielle went so far as to insult the lack of seating for her spontaneous group of literal criminals at the fundraiser. They just don’t make reality TV like they used to, do they?

Danielle has always been deeply invested in bringing the Manzo’s down. She is constantly bringing their alleged mob ties to the surface. Something I think most of the Housewives are too scared to approach. In a recent interview shared via Twitter, Danielle has kept it pushing with even more rumors about the iconic RHONJ family. When asked whether she thinks Albert ever cheated on Caroline she quipped, “I don’t think, I know. One hundred percent.”

Danielle alleged that Albert “provided the woman a place to live, really close by to the Brownstone.” Does anyone else remember early story lines about Albert spending the night at the Brownstone? Does this seem too far off? Either way, Danielle seemed to question the proximity of keeping another woman so close to the venue.

She claimed that it’s where Albert’s father had been “chopped up, and killed, and murdered, and put in a car, and placed in front of the Brownstone.” Danielle then questioned how the Manzos ever found her to be dangerous. Maybe it has something to do with those loose lips…

Danielle continued her accusations against the Manzos saying, “[The mob] cut off [Albert’s father’s] pee-pee and stuck it in his mouth. They cut off his hands and put it [sic] in his pockets.” Danielle explained that these crimes indicate that Albert’s father had both ratted on the mob and stolen from the mob. She express that, “they all know what kind of family they’re from. They all know.”

Lamar Odom Hopes To Reconnect With Ex-Wife Khloe Kardashian Amidst Tristan Thompson Paternity Drama

In the midst of the latest cheating scandal, Khloe Kardashian has plenty of support. A few days ago, after much speculation, Tristan Thompson was forced to admit that he was the father of Maralee Nichol’s child. Maralee had previously claimed that her pregnancy was the result of a short-lived relationship with Tristan. Said Maralee, “Tristan and I communicated daily and talked on the phone. We would see each other several times a month.” Of course, this was unbeknownst to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, who was still dating Tristan at the time. Now that paternity has been established, Maralee is suing for child support.

In the aftermath, Tristan had no choice but to come clean. He posted a statement to his Instagram stories, confirming the paternity results. It also included an apology to Khloe, who is the mother to his child, True Thompson.

His statement read, “Khloe, you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you. You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years. My actions certainly have not lined up with the way I view you. I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think. Again, I am so incredibly sorry.”

Khloe’s sister Kourtney Kardashian and fiancé Travis Barker sent flowers, which Khloe posted a picture of in her Instagram stories. She wrote, “My cuties @travisbarker & @kourtneykardash. I love you.”

Despite her horrible taste in men, Khloe seems to be a loyal friend and partner. So much so that ex-husband Lamar Odom even expressed his support for her. In a screenshot captured by Comments By Celebs on Instagram, Lamar revealed that he wanted to reconnect with Khloe. His comment read, “I truly wish nothing but the best for her and I’m hoping we can reconnect and talk one day as friends she is a good person and deserves the world.”

Of course, Khloe and Lamar have their own difficult past. The couple married in 2009 and after years of Lamar’s alleged addiction issues and cheating, the couple finalized their divorce in 2015. But despite how he treated her, Khloe had previously put the divorce on hold when Lamar almost died from an overdose. She was by his side until his health improved.

Since their divorce, Lamar has always spoken highly of Khloe. In May of this past year he said, “Unfortunately, you know, due to my behavior and some bad decisions, we don’t really talk any longer. I miss their family tremendously. We have to live with the decisions that we make and then, hopefully in time people heal and [will] be able to forgive me.”

Married At First Sight Recap: Season Premiere- The Weddings Are Coming! The Weddings Are Coming!

The New Year is starting off right with season 14 of Married At First Sight. I am so excited!!! As many of you know, this is one of my favorite shows. At heart, I am a hopeless romantic. Although I may throw some shade, I truly want these peoples to find love. But we never know if the experts will be naughty or nice when it comes to these matches. I genuinely wish for better than the last unsuspecting souls. After last season’s roller coaster of emotions, I have no idea what is in store for us. But one thing is for sure; there will be a little bit of romance and a whole lot of drama. Get ready to go on this crazy ride with me.

Ten newly-engaged Bostonians have only two weeks until they meet their stranger spouses at the altar. One groom’s antics at the bachelor party raise questions on whether he is actually ready to settle down.  One bride finds her wedding overwhelming. Let’s get straight into the recap!

Lindsey and Mark

Mark is a 37-year-old that goes by the moniker “Mark the Shark.” He applied to the show when it was in Boston in 2018, after years on dating apps. He is looking to finally find his life partner that he can start a family with. When Mark tells his family and friends that he is going to marry a stranger, they worry if she will be able to handle his responsibility to his mother who is in a care facility.

Lindsay is 34 years old and is looking for her one true love. She wants a relationship like that of her grandparents, who have been married for 70 years. She was engaged a year ago, but her fiancé called off the wedding 5 days before the wedding. When she reveals her wedding plans to her brother and father, they are concerned about whether her future husband will be able to handle her. She is struggling with her relationship with her mother, who she is unsure will attend her wedding.

So far, Lindsey is the most interesting person this season. She is unapologetically herself and I like that. Now, I am not sure if she and Mark will be a match, but it will be fun to watch. They are the first couple of the season to walk down the aisle. For some strange reason, Mark decides to tell his wife that everyone call him the “shark” when they first meet. He looks petrified, but he makes up for his nerves with his sweet vows. Mark even goes in for quite the kiss, despite just meeting his bride.

When Lindsey and Mark speak after the wedding, she is quickly impressed with his level of commitment. But he is going to have to stay on his toes, if he intends to keep up with this woman. I could see her personality being overwhelming, for some. This relationship is definitely going to be interesting!

Katina and Olajuwon

Katina, 29, has spent 2 years on what she has called a “self-love journey.” She is now ready to love someone else and find the father of her children. She looks forward to trading nights at the club for quiet nights at home with her man. Katina’s friends are shocked when she confesses her relationship status is about to change.

Olajuwon, 29, is a self-confessed ex-playboy. He now feels ready to settle down and put someone else ahead of himself. When he reveals his plans for marriage to his friends and family, he seems passionate about changing his life. Things are going well until he explains that he expects a traditional wife who has a hot meal ready for him at night. Umm… is he planning on paying all the bills or is he only “traditional” when it comes to his expectations of a woman? There is nothing wrong with a woman doing those things if she wants to do so, but the problem comes in when it’s a demand. Did he forget that he signed up to marry a stranger that he knows nothing about? Something tells me he is in for a rude awakening.

Olajuwon attended his bachelor party and must have forgotten what he was there for. Not only was he the wildest bachelor of the group, he revealed even more expectations of the stranger that will soon be his wife. I can’t wait to see how this relationship goes; this man has a very specific woman in mind to be on this type of show. I don’t know if Katina meets all of his beliefs.

 

Noi and Steve

33-year-old Noi has a reputation among her friends of “being the one who loves easily and freely.” She describes herself as a shy girl with a loud alter ego. She explains to her friends, she thinks love is worth taking a chance. In the past, she has given so much to relationships and is hoping this time her husband will be the one to give as well.

Steve is a 38-year-old former sales engineer who is currently in between jobs. He describes himself as adventurous and family oriented. His grandparents (who have been together 60 years) had an arranged marriage, so he is willing to try it as well. Although Steve’s family is happy for him, they worry his wife will be disappointed in his current job status. He plans to share his plan for the future to ease her concerns. Well Steve may want to figure it out fast because that definitely may be a concern in a new relationship.

Jasmina and Michael

29-year-old Jasmina is ready to find her true love. She has had many failed relationships and a tumultuous childhood. She hopes to break the pattern on Married At First Sight. Jasmina wastes no time blindsiding her family with the news and they are shocked, to say the least. Her mother worries that she has to give her daughter’s hand to a man, she knows nothing about.

28-year-old Michael is ready to find a wife and have children in the future. He has experienced loss at an early age that he feels has hindered him from opening up in his past relationships. His sister is the one who convinced him to try the show, after having no luck on dating apps. Therefore, his family wasn’t surprised and is fully supportive of this journey.

Alyssa and Chris

Alyssa, 30, is a social media manager who devotes her time to rescuing animals. After a string of bad relationships, including her latest which ended in heartbreak, she is ready to find the one. She is the last single one out of all of her friends.  Alyssa is tired of searching for something she hasn’t been able to find on her own. Chris, 35, is a realtor who describes himself as a serial monogamist, since high school.  He has had difficulty once his relationships get past what he calls the honeymoon phase.  He grew up with a single mother and strives to be successful in his career and a marriage.

 

Early insights- Lindsey is a handful, who is going to challenge her husband. Olajuwon’s expectations are going to be the demise of his marriage, if he doesn’t learn to compromise. Alyssa, is may be difficult to please.

Larsa Pippen Finalizes Divorce From Scottie Pippen 3 Years After Filing

Larsa Pippen can breathe a huge sigh of relief as she is officially divorced from her husband of over 20 years, NBA star Scottie Pippen. It took three years!! Yes you read that right. When we first met the Real Housewives of Miami star on our screens in 2011 she had a picture perfect life. A loving husband who happened to be a major superstar, and four (really gorgeous) children. It was soon after however that the pair announced their separation in 2016. They briefly tried to rekindle their marriage two years later but split once again.

A lawyer involved in the divorce proceedings told US Weekly that “I can confirm that Scottie and Larsa Pippen are now divorced, and that the divorce was finalized on December 15, 2021. All issues were resolved amicably. The parties are now focusing successfully coparenting their remaining minor children.”

Whilst they tried to keep their divorce amicable, that doesn’t mean we didn’t see some cracks starting to show in the unified front. In 2020, Larsa shot back at an online troll who berated her for not sticking with her husband. She responded “stop tripping dude. U don’t know what you’re talking about. I held him down and still do. Just bc I don’t air his dirty laundry doesn’t mean it doesn’t stink. I just don’t want to do his laundry anymore.”

But on lighter days, she expressed her gratitude and their joint dedication to their kids declaring that “Our kids are amazing, and I feel like we both parent the same way. We’re really traditional in the way we raise our children. That’s really important. … We are obsessed with our kids. Scottie and I are both the same in a lot of ways. Family always comes first.”

 

RELATED: Larsa Pippen Calls Adriana de Moura A “Weasel” With “Nothing Else Going On” Other Than Talking About Larsa

 

Larsa tried to move on from her split by literally moving her life to the West Coast and sought comfort in the arms of the Kardashian Klan. The once BFF of Kim Kardashian even appeared as a guest star on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and physically started to morphe into one of the famous sisters. But she was abruptly iced out of the family and found herself packing her bags back to Miami to rebuild her life in her former home.

We are ecstatic that the Bravo kingdom graced us with another season of RHOM after practically begging for one for YEARS and Larsa luckily for us and her was part of the reboot. That didn’t come without paying a price though with Larsa quickly facing the wrath of co-star Adriana De Moura who gave her a dressing down accusing her of being a Kardashian wannabe.

It does seem that Larsa faced an identity crisis after her split from Scottie, which is unsurprising, and maybe she has needed to explore different environments, friendship groups and most importantly, her inner self . But she has a chance now to finally move on in her life, put the divorce behind her, and serve us looks, tea and drama on the newest season of RHOM.

Meredith Marks Denies Involvement In Investigation Against Jen Shah Following Heather Gay & Whitney Rose Theorizing That She Tipped Off The Feds

The plot thickens over in Utah.  As the ladies of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City fall deeper into dysfunction, their suspicion of each other grows.  The cast still can’t wrap their heads around the arrest of Jen Shah, and as the groups splinters, fingers are irrationally pointing to others suggesting some phantom involvement in the investigation.

Meredith Marks, of course, admitted to hiring a private investigator after her son’s cyber war with Jen.  But would that investigation have stumbled upon a decade long federal investigation?  Meredith denies the possibility.

Whitney Rose is taking the lead playing amateur sleuth.  She and cousin Heather Gay took a comment made by Mary Cosby and ran with it, rationalizing that even she may have been cosmically involved in Jen’s investigation.  Did Mary mean something more when she said, “that’s what happens when you mess with my church?”

It really does seem like a stretch, but it’s being said in the group now. How will this play out?  If its for a story line, Whitney really won’t be able to pin Mary down for any conversation. For her part, Mary is making some exaggerated statements about Jen being part of a cartel.  It’s one outlandish statement after another.

 

RELATED: Meredith Marks “Knew Something Was Off” Prior To Jen Shah’s Arrest

 

Meredith is staying above the fray and stepping away from drama this season.  And that includes denying any involvement in Jen’s arrest.  After this week’s episode of wild (rose) accusations, Meredith took to Twitter to deny deny deny.

She wrote, “While I appreciate the notion that you think that I have the power to influence a decade long FBI investigation — I had a cyber specialist investigate threatening texts sent to my son and Heather. I shared the info with H every step of the way.”

Another tweet read, “A specific person wasn’t investigated, the threats were. I doubt that a cyber specialist would be able to break into a decade long federal investigation.”

Well, that rationality will fall on deaf ears as a teaser trailer shows Whitney playing Nancy Drew and questioning Meredith’s alleged involvement.  Meredith’s strong friendship with Mary will also get her lumped in the with suspicions that Mary was somehow involved.  It seems Meredith will have a lot to answer for this kinship with the divisive pastor as well as the decision to hire a private investigator.

NeNe Leakes Sold The Home She Shared With Late Husband Gregg Leakes

Former Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes is embarking on her new chapter after the death of her beloved husband, Gregg Leakes. Gregg was first diagnosed with colon cancer in 2018. Sadly, Gregg passed away on September 1, 2021, surrounded by his loved ones. Bravo-lebrities shared their condolences and love for Gregg on social media. It was a heartbreaking loss.

Even RHOA star Kenya Moore, who clashed with NeNe constantly, stated of Gregg, “Honestly, he is one of the nicest men I’ve ever met in my life.” NeNe slammed her former friend and co-star Cynthia Bailey for not showing up after Gregg’s death.

NeNe shared her experience with grief. She said, “I have good days and bad days, but they say it’s normal.” NeNe also gave a humorous thank you to all the men giving her some online attention. ”All the gentlemen that have been in my DMs, thank y’all too,” NeNe commented. “But anyway, hey, I love reading the messages. They are inspiring to say the least.”

Now NeNe seems to be following RHOA alum Phaedra Parks’ advice and hitting the dating scene. Peter Thomas, Cynthia’s ex-husband, reportedly introduced NeNe to businessman Nyonisela Sioh. He is originally from Liberia, Africa but currently resides in Charlotte, North Carolina. Nyonisela celebrated NeNe’s birthday at her Linnethia Lounge along with family and friends, including Porsha Williams.

NeNe revealed that Gregg gave her his blessing to find love again. “I will love Gregg forever & ever! Grieving is hard!” NeNe told The Shade Room. “Gregg and I had a very tearful conversation before his passing. His words to me were ‘be happy, keep smiling and he who finds you, has found a good one,’” she added.

Now NeNe is marking another milestone in her journey. BET reported that NeNe has sold the home that she shared with Gregg. On September 21, 2021, NeNe put the mansion, which is in Duluth, Georgia, on the market. NeNe originally listed the 10,000 square foot home, where she lived with Gregg for 7 years, for $4 million. NeNe slashed the price of the home twice before finding a buyer who paid $3.495 million.

The listing touted the mansion’s “West Coast vibes.” The home has 5 bedrooms along with 7 bathrooms. One bathroom features double vanities and a free-standing bathtub. It also has a pool, waterfalls, and a covered, wraparound patio. Nice!

It seems that NeNe may also be eyeing a RHOA comeback. In a clip from The Real shared by Queens of Bravo, NeNe discussed a possible return. She stated, “I’m okay with returning to the show as long as we can work through a few things. I’m happy to return to the show.”

But it doesn’t sound like Andy Cohen is ready to hand NeNe a peach. When contract negotiations failed, NeNe quit the show and lashed out at Andy. “If you don’t have anything positive to say about me working for your network for 13 years, stop bringing up my name on your show to help your ratings,” NeNe remarked. The clip was shared by Queens of Bravo on Twitter.

Andy responded by stating, “I think she would probably prefer that I keep her name out of my mouth and that is what I’m going to honor.” Bloop!

Vanderpump Rules Recap: DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Fits Of Rage

Does anything about this season of Vanderpump Rules feel authentic? Everything’s coming off so forced, fake, and contrived. Whatever they were trying to accomplish with this season clearly isn’t working.

Katie Maloney stops by Lala Kent’s to chat and discuss Lala’s previous event. It’s Lala, so naturally everything’s going to lead back to drama somehow. Lala’s pressed because Ariana Madix didn’t say one word to her at the event. I get being upset about that, but their relationship hasn’t been solid in forever. She shouldn’t be too surprised that there’s still some lingering weirdness because everything’s still fresh.

Katie doesn’t want to be in the middle of their rift. Why can’t they be honest about how they feel? If they do that, they might be able to reach someone common ground. The weird limbo place they’ve been in all season isn’t going to solve anything.

Katie dishes to Lala about her sandwich shop idea with Ariana. They’re meeting up with Lisa Vanderpump soon to go over some of their ideas and get her input. These ladies are already heads and shoulders above the men with their new venture. They realize they aren’t creative geniuses and are enlisting the help of an established restaurateur.

Unlike the boys, Katie’s considering having Randall Emmett invest in her business. She’s more aware than her husband of her financial status, so she’s already locking in the big guns. All he wants is something named after him, so it shouldn’t be a difficult pitch to get him on board.

Tom Schwartz is still in friendship limbo with Tom Sandoval, so he’s hanging with James Kennedy. Evidently it’s his new dream to become a DJ in his bars, so he’s enlisting James’ help. This is James’ niche, so maybe something productive will come from it.

In more important news, James is approaching two years of his sobriety and is ready for the next step. No more weed. That’s right. The one thing he’s relied on to function for many years is going bye-bye. He’s accustomed to smoking at all hours of the day, so this is going to be the epic test. Can James find a way to eradicate it from his life for good, or will he remain “California sober”?

Schwartz isn’t the only one taking a new bestie for a spin. Sandoval’s spending some time in his gym with Brock Davies. Brock’s really going through it because the wedding plans went awry. The cost of everything was becoming too much, and he had to pull the plug on the surprise event. One day they’ll maybe tie the knot.

Things are still weird with the Toms, and not hanging out is still in full swing. The break’s healthy for them though. They spend so much time with each other that it’s creeping into all facets of their lives. There’s no reason for Schwartz to treat his wife like shit. It’s not a horrible thing for him to be home more and being a good husband for once.

Scheana Marie’s trying to say she didn’t know anything about the surprise wedding, but she did? She obviously know more because she was hella prepared for this to go down. It sounds like he was going out of his way to get Lala & Randall to pay for everything. He’s an opportunist. Let’s call it what it is.

Scheana’s protecting herself this time with a prenup. If she and Brock actually walk down the aisle, she’s able to walk away with her money. Let’s see if this deters him from following through. I have a feeling it will.

The Toms are totally in over their head with this new bar. They’re behind schedule, and it looks like the fun has been sucked out of it. They’re having a progress party because they want their friends to see what it looked like before. There’s not much progress at all. What are they even going to show their loved ones? I’d be far too embarrassed to show something off if I was many months behind in the way they are.

Watching James & Raquel Leviss plan their engagement party is cringe. We all know by now that they’ve split, so it’s all awkward to see play out. Also, you can tell Raquel’s sister isn’t even remotely a fan of James. She’s almost gritting her teeth trying to smile through his sea of bullshit. I’m sure she breathed a sigh of relief the day their split become public.

Brock’s out of his fucking mind. He’s now trying to do the surprise wedding in the middle of James & Raquel’s engagement party. Is he that desperate for a free moment that he’d take away the spotlight from them? Dick move man. Dick move.

Ariana & Tom are visibly cringing on the phone with Brock hearing about this “plan”. The second James finds out about this, he’s going to slip back into his rage ways. One thing is all it takes.

Katie & Ariana want their own identity outside of being romantic partners of the Toms. This is it. This is their moment to shine. It’s all in the follow through.

It’s in such poor taste for Brock to even consider doing this to James & Raquel. Not only that, but how is he supporting the financials of the engagement ring. It’s a $25,000 ring. Shit is REAL. Very oof.

The friendship break is officially over for the Toms. Did they accomplish anything they set out to do? They’re still completely in over their heads with this business. Nothing’s done. There’s no progress at this progress party. Even the official sign for the bar leaves a lot to be desired.

Lisa’s making comments throughout the entire party under her breath. I can’t blame her. She’s experienced in this sort of business, so she knows her shit. She’s the person they should be listening to very carefully. However, Sandoval’s a dictator about the venture, so nobody can really voice anything.

Brock challenges James‘ story about why he didn’t quit smoking weed. In typical James fashion, he loses his cool in the bar and flips out on Brock. It’s bigger than that though. The issue between the two has to do with the way it shifted after James wouldn’t do promo for free. It all boils down to different definitions of friendship.

TELL US – ARE THE TOMS IN OVER THEIR HEADS? TEAM BROCK OR TEAM JAMES? ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS SEASON OF VANDERPUMP RULES?
