The Internet is in love with a Keto Guido. When Jersey Shore Family Vacation premiered on Thursday night, it was obvious to anyone with eyeballs that the six-year hiatus had been kind to...
Ouch. Or as Benoit would probably say: Aie. Bachelor Nation was hit with sad news on Thursday night, with The Bachelor Winter Games' engaged couple Clare Crawley and Benoit...The Real Housewives of New York cast headed out on Wednesday night in NYC to celebrate the premiere of season 10.
Ramona Singer, Dorinda Medley, Luann de Lesseps, Tinsley Mortimer, Sonja Morgan and Carole Radziwill, along with Andy Cohen, were seen having a good time together at the celebration produced by Talent Resources in NYC.
Bethenny was the only Real Housewives of New York cast member who wasn’t at the party. Rumors were flying yesterday, claiming that Bethenny was attempting to distance herself from the reality show, but that is simply not true.
Bethenny was actually on her way out of the country to promote her other reality gig, Bethenny and Fredrik!
Check out the party pics below!

Are you feeling the panic? The TV season is about to end and the fates of so many fan-favorite shows are still undecided. The broadcast networks--ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and The CW--have...It. Is. Here. I feel like it’s been an eternity since Southern Charm graced us with its presence. Having moved away from Charleston in January, I’m sure it will make me a tad homesick to watch, but that’s okay because the salacious drama and ridiculous debauchery will make it all better. Hell, I didn’t even get sad when I saw that Jax Taylor, Kristen Doute, and Brittany Cartwright were partying LAST NIGHT with Shepard “Shep” Rose and Chelsea Meissner at a bar two blocks from my old stomping ground. It’s a magical place for sure…and this show can’t taint it even with all of its absurdity. Plus, did we mention no Landon??
So it begins like every other season…with a bang up fight that we won’t see fully until the end. This time our sneak peek into the future surrounds a Christmas party at the Hibernian that went south (literally) really quickly as Kathryn Dennis cusses out Thomas Ravenel’s flavor of the month who in turn calls Kathryn an egg donor. Ouch. But three months earlier, everything is a bit sunnier in my favorite place. Cameran Eubanks is close to giving birth with her first child, a little girl. It’s been an uncomplicated pregnancy up until the last several weeks, but Shep knows how to entice his friend out of bed with some Chick-fil-A. Works every time. What doesn’t work? Shep’s relationship that culminated on his spin-off Relationshep. His twenty-three-year-old paramour went to bed at eleven. That’s way too early for Shep. His whirlwind romance lasted all of five days in New York City. Alas, Shep is ready to move on and celebrate his thirty-eighth birthday. Priorities.
On Daniel Island, Danni Baird comes to visit Kathryn’s new apartment. Despite her striped hair, Kathryn looks the best she ever has on this show. Sure, she’s bruised from regular blood testing thanks to Thomas‘ ability to randomly have her checked for drugs, but it’s worth it to get to spend more time with her children. Danni has called off her engagement, and Kathryn is ready to cut ties with T-Rav’s nanny. The woman doesn’t trust her with her own kids. Back a T-Rav’s house we’re reminded that this dysfunctional pair makes adorable babies, and the nanny schools Thomas on the custody calendar. T-Rav is sad to see his beloved nanny leave, but he’s happy to welcome new girlfriend Ashley into the fold. She’s a nurse who likes cardio on the walking trails and in the bedroom. Kathryn reveals to Danni that she’s slightly peeved Thomas hasn’t shared his new status with her. She had to find out from her toddler. Kathryn is wary of T-Rav’s lady’s intentions…she probably just wants fifteen minutes of fame. Kathryn may know a little something about that, even though she’s successfully parlayed it into a career, so more power to her. She jokes that Ashley’s job as a hospice nurse is sure to come in handy for Thomas at some point soon.
Naomie Olindo is catching up with Chelsea over a cut a color. She’s moved out of her home with former beau Craig Conover. While it’s been a long time coming, can we just congratulate Craig for finally passing the bar? The new bachelor has moved into a house he recently purchased with an old friend. Naomie is sad about the break-up, but she feels it was for the best. While Chelsea feels for her friend, she’s happy to have another single friend with whom to hit the town. Speaking of defunct relationships, Chelsea is over Austen Kroll, at least romantically. He quit his job, mooched off Chelsea for dinners, and tried to facilitate early morning hook-ups after ditching her for his friends. Chelsea doesn’t have time for that.
Despite being unemployed (thanks for that paycheck, Bravo), Austen feels incredibly productive given what he’s able to accomplish in a day. No job leaves him open for practicing corn hole, day-drinking, and meeting up with Shep at the Windjammer. The Peter Pans catch up about life and love, and Austen reveals that he was bummed by the way things panned out with Chelsea. He apparently moved on with one of Chelsea’s good pals Victoria. Unbeknownst to Chelsea, Austen has cut ties with Victoria in hopes of rekindling his spark with the girl who is way too good for him.
Making the rounds, Shep is lunching with Whitney Sudler-Smith at Pancito and Lefty’s. Fun fact–they put crickets in the margs. Perhaps that is why Whitney is forgoing the fare! A very hungover Shep is shocked to learn that Whitney’s mom, matriarch and caftan creator extraordinaire Patricia Altschul, is betrothed to be betrothed to a mysterious Mr. C. (DOES MICHAEL APPROVE?? WE NEED TO KNOW!!) Whitney is slightly impressed with the gigantic diamond promise ring gifted to his mother by Mr. C, but he’s more excited to get this news on the front end. He admits he learned about one of his mother’s marriages via telegram after the fact. Shep laughs as Whitney proposes an adult-like bash for Shep’s big day. They joke about Craig party planning, and Whitney bets Shep forty dollars that Craig won’t answer a call from his estranged pal. Challenge accepted! Whitney is down a bill when Craig picks up on the second ring.
Downtown, T-Rav visits flailing bourbon baron J.D. Madison who poo-poos the recent stories about his floundering liquor empire. J.D. pours T-Rav a drink from his vast supply of defunct moonshine before opening up about his separation from Elizabeth. What? I don’t follow social media as I should, so this is news to me. J.D moved out at Elizabeth’s request, with him stating he was hurt to learn she fell out of love with him. When she ditched her wedding ring, he did the same. Something in me tells me he may have preemptively (and shadily) lost that band long before Elizabeth kicked him to the curb.
Despite Whitney being a negative Nelly, Craig is thrilled to help Shep celebrate his birthday. As they contemplate meats for the fete, Craig pretends to be cool when he learns Naomie is invited to the event. If he’s truly surprised, he should be equally shocked to learn that a Bravo camera crew is following his every move. Thomas and Kathryn will be in attendance as well. If Craig is worried about awkwardness with Naomie, Shep reminds him that the get-together will be the first time Kathryn meet T-Rav’s new lady friend. That afternoon, Craig heads out to Sullivans Island to aid Shep in the party preparation. It doesn’t take long before the duo is arguing about grilling skills and going head to head with bad hair products. Over the bridge, Thomas is taking an active role in picking out Ashley’s outfit for the evening. He cites Ashley’s manners as being far superior to Kathryn’s before okay-ing an outfit that highlights her ass cheeks. Meanwhile, back at the beach Craig still hasn’t mastered the grill. It’s a good thing this group always forgoes food for copious amounts of alcohol.
Thankfully, Austen arrives to diffuse the situation and he’s brought Shep the perfect gift–a hodge podge of beers and a coffee table book on Vietnam. Shep is over the moon. He is quite the renaissance man, isn’t he? Austen, not so much, and he freaks when he learns his ridiculous friends didn’t consider Tostitos and salsa when creating their grocery list. Prepping for the evening, Danni and Kathryn head to Chelsea’s to drink La Cwah (we hicks call it La Croix) with Naomie. The girls joke about giving condoms to Shep for a birthday present, and Kathryn can’t remember if he used the little buggers back when they hooked up a while ago. She can’t pinpoint a condom in their night of passion, but she does have a memory of turning his bed orange with her spray tan. South Carolina, y’all! Naomie bonds with the girls over all being single at the same time. She was with Craig for so long, it’s almost hard for her to navigate the dating scene on her own. Naomie has grown close with Elizabeth, and she informs Kathryn and Chelsea that J.D. will be attending the bash while Elizabeth is left home to watch their children. J.D. disgusts Naomie, and Kathryn is happy to finally have someone who agrees with her on that front.
As T-Rav puts the finishing touches on his lady friend’s attire, he teases that he hopes to get a rise out of Kathryn with her outfit. The fact that Ashley doesn’t run for the hills based on that statement alone speaks volume. I hope all of these folks hit up a drive-through before the party because a pissy and nervous Craig is incredibly anxious about serving raw meat to the guests. Perhaps he should have considered his meat cute before claiming to be a grill master. He should just stick to what he knows–sewing. As Shep puts paper plates in the oven, Shep worries about how frazzled Craig is manning the barbecue.
Chelsea wonders how it will be seeing Austen after such a long time, and Kathryn straight up pretends to not know of Ashley’s existence. Danni can’t believe Ashley moved across the country for some old man she barely knows, and Chelsea jokes “thirsty” under her breath. Kathryn counters with “dehydrated.” I don’t even need to snark in this blog because these wonderful people do it for me. I find it telling that Kathryn seems incredibly clean yet T-Rav is carrying a solo cup around in every scene like it’s his pacifier. Craig’s nerves are shot, and I’m assuming it’s equal parts having to see Naomie and knowing he ruined the night’s cuisine. Give a man a grill and he will fail, but give him a needle and thread, and he will be the master of an amazing Etsy account. The ladies are all about girl power, but if I had to guess, Bravo’s countdown to this cookout is foreshadowing a major showdown.

They may have been pals throughout the season, but don't expect Porsha Williams and Sheree Whitfield to be rooting each other on during The Real Housewives of Atlanta's three-part reunion...
After two Tom-filled seasons, it’s not at all surprising that Luann de Lesseps’ ex-husband Tom D’Agostino is still a popular topic of conversation on Real Housewives of New York.
She announced their separation right after they taped the reunion episodes, so of course, the cast still made it “all about Tom.”
In her first Bravo blog post of the season, Luann carried through with the Diana Ross theme from the first episode. She wrote, “Diana Ross, who I adore (obviously), sang, ‘Stop in the name of love, before you break my heart, think it over, think it over.'”
The former countess admitted, “I probably should have heeded her advice before I married Tom, but love is blind, and so was I. At the end of our marriage I felt like I was drowning and I had to save myself. I didn’t even have a chance to change my name, which in hindsight, turned out to be a good thing!” She really does look on the bright side of everything. Most people would be upset to end a marriage after seven months and Luann was definitely upset, but at least she doesn’t have to deal with the hassle of changing her name back.
Lu continued, “I’m so much happier now, and I’m grateful for all the support and kind messages I received. True friends don’t say, ‘I told you so,’ even when they can.” They really don’t. Luann’s friends and even the viewers were very wary of Tom, but there’s really no need to rub it in her face now. Sure, she does owe her friends some apologies for her response to their concerns and criticisms, but as far as the fans go, her relationship with Tom was a true blessing. And the entertainment still keeps on coming. It really is still “about Tom.”
It’s nice that Luann is able to pick up the pieces and move on with her life, but she could also do the same when it comes to her beef with Carole Radziwill. Carole didn’t reach out about Luann’s breakup. Luann didn’t reach out about hers. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Can’t they just both move on…. and argue about something more entertaining?
Apparently not. Luann wrote, “I was surprised that Carole didn’t reach out to me after Tom and I split. It hurt at the time but once we talked about it, I accepted her apology. She likes to keep her opinions to herself, and I respect that, but she could have at least called or texted. I’m not one to hold a grudge, and once I express how I feel, I’m over it.” Sure.
Now that Luann is done with Tom, his penthouse, and nights at the Regency, she’s shading her ex. She wrote, “Dorinda [Medley] said that a leopard doesn’t change his spots just because he’s married, and that sums up Tom to a tee. He wanted to live his life as if he were still single and that’s not what I envisioned or wanted.”
Luann also took the time to set the record straight on something Sonja Morgan said during the premiere episode: “Now, I’m enjoying being single and contrary to what Sonja told the press, I’m not dating like crazy. In fact, I’m focusing on my health and well-being. I’ve been doing a lot of yoga and meditation, which has helped me to reflect on my life…where I’ve been and where I’d like to go. Life is a journey, and I still believe in love.” Live, laugh, Lu- right? Well, maybe that’s just my own personal mantra, but I’m here for Luann and all of her story lines this season.

The cast of Felicity is getting back together for a special 20th anniversary reunion panel at the 2018 ATX TV Festival...but is something else afoot? Keri Russell stopped by Watch What Happens...
As we inch ever closer to the April 27 release of Avengers: Infinity War, it appears that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is finally crossing over with the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe once...
The bad moms have come to the small screen. A lot has changed since viewers last saw Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley on Jersey Shore in 2012, with each...In essence, Season 10 of Real Housewives of Atlanta was brought to you in part by Snapchat, or at least that’s what it should say somewhere in the credits of each episode. The video that Kim Zolciak’s daughter Brielle Biermann took of herself in the mirror at NeNe Leakes’ house, changed the course of the season.
Kim saved it in her archives and unleashed on NeNe, accusing her having a roach-infested home. NeNe fired back with accusation of racism aimed at both Kim and Brielle. Roachgate took over the season and that’s why I thought it was hysterical when NeNe and her husband Gregg Leakes dressed as an exterminator and roach for their Halloween costumes. I laughed, Kim’s girl Sheree Whitfield even laughed, but Kim did not find it funny. At all.
In her Bravo blog, Kim wrote, “I guess she rented her costumes from the same place she rented her furniture…#dated #notcreative.”
Kim continued, “It’s pretty unbelievable to me that she can mock the facts of my accusations, but had I mocked her slanderous statements, it would have been unacceptable. At the end of the day her mockery and her making fun of it just discredits her own statements. If she truly believed I was ‘racist,’ she wouldn’t mock or make fun of it, correct? But then again I’m only ‘racist’ when we don’t get along.”
Kim may have been miffed by the Leakes’ couple costume, but Porsha Williams was the cast member who actually had to face some drama during the finale episode. Porsha sent a text warning Shamea Morton not to trust the other women (duh) and she even emphasized not to trust Sheree specifically. Of course this got back to Sheree and Sheree confronted her about it. There’s nothing I love better than Housewives yelling at each other when they’re decked out in costume at themed events.
Kim wrote, “I have known Sheree for 15 plus years and she has NEVER broken my trust! We have shared many many secrets over the years, and even during the one disagreement we did have, nothing was shared with anyone; but friendships go hand in hand and must be reciprocated.” I would love to know what secrets these two have entrusted with each other, but I guess that’s Kim’s point: they’re keeping them private. I couldn’t even handle a Sheree vs. Kim betrayal. It would make for some premium content though.
