The bewitching night of All Hallows Eve is almost upon us as the ghosts and ghouls get ready for their time to shine in the alternate reality. Over the years, the Real Housewives franchise has had some spot-on costumes that have gone above and beyond. Below is our list of the top Rea Housewives Halloween costumes, but feel free to tell us what you think!
Oops, the Singer Stinger did it again. Ramona Singer wowed in a skin-tight red catsuit. Dorinda Medley decided to throw a little soiree with the theme “famous people,” and Ramona chose wisely. Everyone and their mother knows who Britney Spears is, and Ramona’s costume is effective. Ramona accessorized well, adding long blonde extensions and even channeling her inner pop princess.
The supermodel of the Real Housewives of Atlanta knew her mission when she rocked up in her own version of 50 Cent, aptly named 50 Cynt. While all her other housewives were decked out in glam, Cynthia Bailey came with a five o’clock shadow and Timberland boots. The Season 10 Halloween party was everything and even showed NeNe Leakes and Gregg Leakes as a cockroach and exterminator. But none took more pride in their costume than Cynthia, who walked in the room with a creative swagger fans loved.
Little monsters everywhere roared when they saw Dorinda dressed as Lady Gaga, bubble suit and all. As the party host, Dorinda was expected to show out, and she did just that. The make-it-nice queen made sure to sport a platinum blonde bob, too. Dorinda was in good company as her friends showed up as Amelia Earhart and Madonna.
If the constant gossip wasn’t a clue that Lisa Rinna and the Pretty Mess singer were friends, then the spooky tribute costume to Erika Jayne surely gave it away. Fans love Lisa, as she knows how to make an entrance and make almost every party guest feel the slightest bit uncomfortable. During Season 9 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa went against the grain and strayed away from her co-stars, who all came as cats. Lisa waltzed in as an elite member of the Fox Force Five, including Erika’s sassy personality and all.
Love her or hate her, LeeAnn Locken knew how to do Halloween with her Two Face costume, proving she is one of the best. Viewers of the Real Housewives of Dallas couldn’t believe their eyes when the former Carni rocked up in a black and white dress and wig. Stephanie Hollman had invited her frenemy, but LeeAnne decided to make it an extra special moment by showing up as “two-faced Stephanie.” Luckily, Steph played it cool, and the party went off without a hitch.
Sonja Morgan as Marie Antoinette was everything! I mean, she even had a cake for the peasants around her. Sonja stunned in a mini version of the French court attire and donned a very tall period-piece wig. Naturally, as the night went on, fans saw more and more of Sonja’s tush as she flirted her way through the evening.
Candy girl Bethenny Frankel came across as sweet with her Halloween costume. To complete the look, the Skinnygirl CEO wore a pink corset decked out in sweet treats with a purple and pink tulle skirt. Unfortunately, Bethenny’s sweet theme didn’t help with her sassy demeanor, as she still ruffled her castmates’ feathers.
Honestly, I almost didn’t recognize Heather Dubrow here as Katniss Everdeen. I love that she hung up her fancy pants and sported a leather suit that showed off her badass ways. Heather completed her look with a bow, side braid, and fashionable shoulder pads. The only way this outfit could have been better was if Terry Dubrow went as Peeta.

The rebooted Real Housewives of New York Season 14 is wrapping up, and what a ride it’s been. RHONY Season 14 gave us some great moments and compelling drama, but what really stood out was the cast. The group of new RHONY housewives received mixed reviews from fans, but the idea to refresh the cast was solid. A fresh group of housewives is the easiest way to inject new life into the Real Housewives franchise.
A few of the new RHONY housewives stood out as Bravo stars in the making. However, not all of the cast should return for Season 15. Sometimes housewives fail to resonate with fans, while others just don’t seem cut out for reality TV. These are the Season 14 stars who probably shouldn’t return next season, instead making way for new additions to the cast.

Let me make one thing clear—I absolutely adore Ubah Hassan! Not only is Ubah one of the most elegant and statuesque women to ever appear on the Bravo network, she also has a magnetic personality. Ubah, for the most part, got along well with her fellow housewives and often delivered equal parts sage advice and hilarious moments. Throughout Season 14 Ubah was unabashedly single and fabulous, and she was truly fun to watch.
So why should she be replaced for Season 15? While Ubah did well on her inaugural season, there are a few reasons why reality TV may not be for her. At the end of Season 14, it was revealed that Ubah has begun dating a new mystery man. However, Ubah has been very protective of her budding relationship.
It was clear how upset Ubah was that her castmate, Sai De Silva, betrayed her trust and blabbed about her Connecticut-based beau. If Ubah is that concerned about keeping her love life private, the Real Housewives is the wrong place for her. The best way for Ubah to keep her new relationship free from unnecessary pressure is to step away from the cameras.
As a model, it also might not serve Ubah’s career to continue on RHONY. The modeling world is known for being wary of reality TV stars—after all, for every successful Kendall Jenner there are dozens of failed ANTM models (IYKYK). Ubah’s career might do just fine if she remains on Real Housewives, but it may not be worth the risk.

Among the new RHONY housewives, there were two who strongly came across as mean girls—Erin Lichy and Sai De Silva. Both women have faced intense criticism all season, and Bravo would do well to give both of them the boot.
Erin got on fans’ and her castmates’ nerves practically from minute one. Early in the season, Erin caught flak for being a bad hostess and always failing to adequately feed her guests. Things only got worse from there. Erin was blasted for her tedious and self-involved vow renewal party, phone-stealing prank, and the disrespectful way she spoke about Jessel Taank’s marriage.
Though Erin seemingly has all the makings of a classic Real Housewives villain, she’s not a very enjoyable one. Frankly, she’d be more compelling to watch if she actually owned her bad behavior. Instead, Erin always tries to make excuses for herself and deny the things she’s done and said. Case in point, Erin refused to admit at the reunion that she had ever implied that Jessel’s husband was cheating, and it wasn’t a good look.
The new RHONY housewives should be joined by a truly loud-and-proud villain who isn’t afraid to own their problematic behavior. I’d much rather watch someone who’s completely deluded try to defend their batshit crazy actions rather than someone like Erin who tries to gaslight viewers and her castmates by denying anything ever happened.

Erin’s fellow villain, Sai, also brought her fair share of mean girl behavior with little entertainment value. However, while Erin’s behavior was more catty, the way Sai went after Jessel was almost vicious. Sai continuously prodded Jessel to reveal more about her past, and even when she did, Sai didn’t believe her.
It was a strange look for Sai, and her vendetta against Jessel seemed to stem from some sort of deeply-rooted insecurity. Sai was quick to criticize Jessel for the same behavior she also exhibited. After all, coming at someone for being 40 minutes late to a meeting that you were 20 minutes late to yourself is the ultimate pot calling the kettle black. But Sai also wasn’t willing to accept Jessel’s attempts to sympathize and connect with her.
Overall, Sai gave off some very weird vibes in Season 14, and it would be a good idea for Bravo to replace her for Season 15. Sai is already a successful influencer, so getting cut from RHONY likely wouldn’t have much of an impact on her financially. It would probably benefit Sai to not return to Real Housewives and continue to go down the villain rabbit hole.
TELL US – WHO IN THE NEW RHONY CAST DO YOU NOT WANT TO SEE RETURN FOR SEASON 15?
It’s that time again: welcome to the Bachelor in Paradise Season 9, Episode 5 recap! This week on Bachelor in Paradise, we pick up right where we left off in Episode 4. It’s Rose Ceremony night, and there are still 12 guys and only seven women to hand out roses. Five men are going home tonight.
Sean McLaughlin and Aaron Schwartzman are pretty sure they’re both going home, since they see no prospects for a rose. Sean quit his job in order to come to Paradise, so he would feel especially defeated to go home without finding love. Just shows how young he is. Who quits their job to go on a vacation? Are contestants on this show paid? Actually, they are. My friend Google says they each make about $400 a day to be there. Cool. But he’ll still be unemployed when he gets home. Sean’s praying to the Paradise gods for a miracle.
Kat Izzo casually mentions, “It’s funny that they’ve brought so many guys in, but not one girl has come down.” From her mouth to the producers’ ears. Here comes a woman down the stairs right now. Who the heck is that?
It’s Sam, but it’s not “our” Sam. It’s Samantha Picco from Canadian Bachelor in Paradise. Why? Don’t we have enough women left over from the U.S. version?
Sam’s come to stir things up. “I’m not gonna play nice,” she tells Jesse Palmer. “I’m here to shake it up and go for what I want. And I usually get it.”
Jesse’s pleased to inform Sam that she’s arrived on Rose Ceremony night, and the ladies have the roses, so she’s golden. He sends her on down the stairs in her six-inch platform sandals, and she joins the others.
Entering with an enthusiastic “Hi,” she is met by crickets and blank stares. Nobody else knows who she is either, but no one wants to seem rude by asking her which season she was on.
Finally, Aaron S. slyly asks, “Is this your first time in Paradise?” Good one, Aaron.
“Yeah,” she says, before remembering that that’s not quite true. “No, actually it’s not. I was on Paradise in Canada.” Mystery solved. And the entire room breathes a collective, “Ooh!”
Trying to suss out the available men on the beach before she has to give one of them a rose, Sam attempts to talk to as many of them as she can in a short time.
Peter Cappio tells Sam, “You look great,” even though she’s 34. In an interview, Sean thinks Sam’s the miracle he prayed for and calls her a “36-year-old fireball,” which is also offensive – and not just because he got her age wrong. Come on, guys. It’s not like she’s the Crypt Keeper. Jeez Louise.
Sadly, say goodbye to Aaron S., John Buresh, Sean and Will Urena. I hope Aaron goes home and DMs Sam Jeffries. They seemed like such a sweet couple and would probably still be together if only she’d been able to poop.
Kat’s birthday in Paradise

Did you know that it’s Kat’s world and we all just live in it? Ask her. She’ll tell you. And it’s her birthday, y’all. Bow down and worship the Queen! And what does she want for her birthday? She wants a date card so she can go somewhere romantic and make out with Tanner. So that’s totally gonna happen, right?
And here comes Olivia with a date card. Yay! Kat’s eyes light up and she fake claps with excitement. But when Olivia reads the date card, her whole demeanor changes.
“Rachel, take a swing at love.”
Kat is furious. “No! Nooo-wah! I did not get the date card. Ugh. On my birthday. I’m only 27 once.” Do you think production purposely didn’t give her the date card because she’s such a diva and a pain in the ass?
Meanwhile, Rachel very cutely pretends to be confused about who she should take. “Oh, my gosh,” she Valley-Girls. “This is a very hard decision. I put a lot of thought into this, and I’ve loved getting to know all of you. But Brayden, do you wanna go on this date with me?”
“Oh, my god,” he laughs, playing along. “That would be so great!” They are so cute together. They just laugh and have fun all the time. They are perfection.
Brayden and Rachel’s date involved them wearing flesh-colored swimsuits and covering each other with multi-colored bodypaint. They are making themselves into human piñatas. Side note: Why does ABC cover the thong of Rachel’s bikini with a black box, but once her butt is painted dark green it’s okay to show it? I’m confused.
Getting bored with just painting each other, they start pouring the paint and kissing it off. Rachel even has it in her hair, but she’s having so much fun, she doesn’t care. They are laughing hysterically and just having a great time.
“This is the most romantic date I have been on in my whole Bachelor career,” Rachel says. “I don’t need fireworks and a yacht.”
“It’s so much fun to just go and do something with someone who’s not worried about getting messy or dirty,” Brayden adds. “She looks amazing … When you don’t care and you’re not so fixated on it, that’s when your beauty comes out. Her beauty came out today to me.”
When they’re done painting themselves, they add pointy hats and star bodies. Voila! Human piñatas. Best Bachelor date ever. Just add a giant bowl of candy, and they’re ready to go.
Something gorgeous this way comes, and it’s not Kat’s birthday present. Here comes Davia Esther down the steps to Paradise, and she is absolutely beautiful. She was Miss South Carolina 2018, and the title under her name says she’s 32, but that’s incorrect. According to her Bachelor Wiki page, she was born in 1997 so she’s only 27. And did I say she was gorgeous? She also has a rare genetic condition called heterochromia, where her eyes are two different colors. Her right eye is blue, while her left eye is green. She’s stunning.
And of course, she’s coming to meet Tanner. The BIP producers are definitely trying to wind Kat up, especially since it’s her birthday. (Did I foget to tell you that?) And of course, Davia’s got a date card. When she walks in, the look on Kat’s face is priceless.
She reads the date card, “Davia, let love take the lead tonight,” and immediately pulls Tanner for a “chat.” As Blake says, “In Kat fasion, [Kat] is a little bit annoyed … She’s not taking it well, so I’m hoping Tanner deals with this the right way.” I wouldn’t hold my breath. Tanner’s a little bit dazzled by all that beauty.
In the end, Davia decides she doesn’t need to talk to anybody else and cuts to the chase. “Tanner,” she says, “do you want to go on this date with me?” He accepts immediately.
But to his credit, he asks if he can talk to Kat “real quick.” That’s more than she did for Brayden.

Rather than being honest with Tanner and telling him that no way in Hell does she want him to go on a date with Davia, she passive/aggessively tells him, “It’s something you want to do, so you should do it.” But you’ll never hear the end of it, Tanner. Run, while you still can!
Instead, Tanner says, “I feel like going on this date might give me clarity.” Yeah, okay. So in other words, she’s hotter than Kat and you like her. Whatever. Just go.
In voiceover, we hear Kat screaming, “Are you kidding me? Of course, I’m going to be pissed off!” But she doesn’t say any of that to his face.
While they’re still talking, Davia comes and rescues Tanner from this circular conversation. “Are you ready?” she asks him. Kat stomps off and they leave. Power move, Davia.
Hurricane Kat rolls in

After the happy couple leaves, Kat falls apart. As she’s sobbing in Kylee’s arms, everybody else walks in, carrying a cake and singing Happy Birthday (nice touch, show, with the discordant musical accompaniment). Kat takes the cake, walks away with it and we later see it floating in the ocean. I’m guessing nobody got a slice of that cake before it went for a swim.
Kat demands shots and a piñata for her birthday. At that moment, Brayden and Rachel return, still dressed as human piñatas. Don’t anybody let Kat get her hands on a stick! They throw candy to the group.
When Brayden and Rachel learn that Davia took Tanner on a date, they stop for a minute, wordless. “Oh … ” Brayden says, not coming up with anything nice to say. “Well, we’re gonna go get showered and changed. We’ll be back in a bit.”
At last, Kat gets the piñata she’s been harping about all day. They put a stick in her hands and scream, “It’s Tanner! It’s Tanner!” So she beats the sh*t out of the poor little innocent thing and tears it completely to pieces. Even when it’s lying all broken on the ground with all of it’s insides spread everywhere, she pounds on it some more. Kat’s got issues.
Kat smells blood in the water
ABC/Craig Sjodin
The next morning Davia comes out wearing a bikini top that’s three sizes too small. Seriously, her boobs are falling out the bottom. Despite the ill-fitting top, Kat hates her for looking “really hot.”
Davia wants to talk to Kat and clear the air. Oh, no! Somebody stop her! But she asks Kat to go for a “little chat.” Oh, dear. This is not going to go well.
Brayden thinks Kat’s “going in for the kill. She smells blood in the water, and she is a shark swimming.”
Davia says, “The date went really, really well.” She thinks Tanner wants to continue to get to know her. Why is she telling Kat all of this?
Kat rambles some stuff about getting “clarity,” and wraps up with, “It just sucks cause it was my birthday, so it was hurtful … ” And actually, I kind of stopped listening at this point, because she’s just repeating herself. And then she tries to sabotage Tanner and Davia’s relationship by asking, “Is that someone you want to talk to and put your energy towards as well?”
Kat needs some serious counseling. Everything is everybody else’s fault and she never takes any responsibility. She’s exhausting.
Sitting at the table with Brayden and Aven, they’re talking about figuring out their relationships when Kat just lashes out, “I wish some guys would just get their f*cking sh*t together.” Yikes! That was aggressive.
And here comes Tanner. Run, Tanner, run! He asks Kat to come talk. Sam’s afraid Kat “might just burn Paradise to the ground.”
Bachelor in Paradise airs Thursdays at 9/8c on ABC.

Ubah Hassan has come under fire for her guns-blazing performance at the RHONY reunion. The Real Housewives of New York reunion opened on a rather strange note, with all the Housewives getting ready with one notable exception. Ubah planned to arrive at the reunion after her co-stars.
Ubah then admitted to feeling “very hurt” and betrayed by her co-stars. But after that intro segment, Ubah didn’t feature much in Part 1 of the reunion at all. She notably slammed Erin Lichy for stirring the pot but after that? Not much to report.
Part 2 will likely feature Ubah more prominently. But until then, some have taken issue with her participation in the opening, including Tamra Judge. As is typical when Tamra has an issue, she took to her podcast to discuss Ubah and the reunion.
Tamra says Ubah “did nothing all season”
Tamra and Teddi Mellencamp began discussing Ubah’s role at the reunion. Teddi began by saying, “I can see why Ubah has a line of hot sauces because she came in spicy.” But Tamra found herself disagreeing. She said, “Ubah’s reunion performance was giving me ‘I did nothing all season and I need to do something to save my apple.’”
While Teddi tried to get a word in, Tamra said, “It felt forced to me.” Teddi helped clarify, “It wasn’t landing right?” Tamra just repeated, “It felt forced,” then added, “She had multiple moments where she would bring some random topic up, and everybody would look at her and go, ‘Huh?’”
When Tamra and Teddi posted the clip to TikTok, fans were divided. Many agreed that Ubah hadn’t done much during the reunion or Season 14 for that matter. But plenty of other fans defended Ubah, calling her a star. Another faction of fans pointed out the hypocrisy in Tamra calling someone’s performance “forced.”
Part 2 of the Real Housewives of New York reunion airs Sunday, October 29 at 9/8c on Bravo.

It’s that time of the week again: let’s delve into our Kardashians Season 4, Episode 5 recap! The Kardashians is halfway through Season 4 and it’s a whole lot of the same from America’s famous family. Khloe Kardashian’s relationship problems were the crutch that producers, AKA Kris Jenner, fall back on. Kim Kardashian continued to show us how she does it all way better than all of us. And the rest of the sisters, Kylie Jenner aside, are mostly nonfactors.
Episode 5 picked up after a dramatic “to be continued” where Khloe confronted Kris about her cheating past. Kris had some explaining to do, but it only made her stance on Khloe’s situation with Tristan Thompson all the more confusing. Here are five takeaways from the latest episode, “It Takes A Village.”
Khloe confronts Kris

The episode picked right back up at Khloe and Kris’ intense conversation about relationships. Khloe clarified that she asked her mom to explain why she cheated to better understand her baby daddy’s trifling ways. “I think being really young and dumb is something that plays into it because you don’t really understand the consequences of your actions,” Kris said. She did admit that it was her biggest regret in life, especially considering that she and her ex-husband had such a solid friendship.
Kris’s take on cheating when you have a family came down to forgiveness, which is probably easier for the cheater to say. She wanted Khloe to consider the positive aspects of Tristan when considering a future with him, which Khloe has made it pretty clear she didn’t want at the moment. “I fell into a situation where I thought the grass was greener somewhere else and I made a huge mistake,” Kris said. “I just want Khloe to be really careful when she makes these decisions and she has to let somebody go.” Fair, but it seemed icky for Kris to suggest Khloe reconcile yet again after everything Tristan has done to her.
Kim’s soccer journey continues

Kim’s storyline in the latest two episodes might be her most boring yet. I commend her for trying to give the men in the family some attention since it is peculiar how much of a spotlight is put on the daughters. However, I’m so bored watching Kim live a “soccer mom” fantasy and talk about her love for the game. The only reprieve is Saint West’s cuteness.
Kimberly did take a moment for the sports talk to commend the people who have helped her raise her kids, like the nannies and chefs. “It takes a village to raise kids, but at the end of the day, your kids only want you,” Kim said. “I’m still learning how to be a single parent.” Relatable Kimmy strikes again, but let’s please never do two full episodes centered around soccer ever again.
Kendall’s uneventful return
(Photo by: Hulu)
Kendall Jenner hadn’t been seen on the show in a few episodes, which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing considering how boring she is. To make her more palatable, the producers paired her with Scott Disick as a filming partner. The two sort of in-laws talked about remodeling houses, something Kendall apparently wants to pursue, and anxiety. They did a sound bath together where Scott couldn’t sit still or stop talking, so he obviously carried that scene.
“I do have a lot of blessings and I am a really lucky person, but we all have sh*t to a certain degree,” Kendall said about her anxiety. I’m never going to shame someone for being open about mental health because it’s important and doesn’t discriminate. But Kendall’s approach is reminiscent of when she all wanted us to feel bad for her about having acne so we would buy Proactive, which makes me scratch my head.
Kris’s bad mom move

Scott’s back problems only continued to worsen, so he headed to a doctor to get an epidural to hopefully find relief. Kris Jenner put on her mom pants to wake up at 5 a.m. and drive with Scott to his appointment. She made a whole spectacle about being there for her daughter’s ex. “I love Scott so much and I would do anything for him,” Kris said. “He’s like my son.”
Apparently, “anything” doesn’t include sticking around for surgery. Scott had a 15-minute procedure but went under anesthesia, so he couldn’t drive himself home. Kris dipped out of the hospital after he was rolled into the operating room because she apparently had a busy morning. “Maybe I’ll see you over one of the holidays this year,” a drugged-out Scott said to Kris over the phone about her leaving him. Truly, it’s the epitome of Kris Jenner behavior and you have to laugh at it.
Khloe’s attempts to distract herself
(Photo by: Hulu)
Khloe hosted an over-the-top party for True’s 5th birthday and the whole family was there, obviously including Tristan. Khloe was glowing the entire day, immersing herself in her daughter’s world. Tristan was acting a little too couple-like with Khloe at the party, which she shrugged off. Her family, meanwhile, was plotting in the background about how to get Khloe and Tristan back together. “It’s probably really confusing to people,” Khloe said of her dynamic with Tristan. “I think other people want more and I know where I’m comfortable.”
Khloe had a girls night out with Malika Haqq who told her friend straight-up that she needed to get out of a rut. Malika is a loyal friend who always keeps it straight, so it’s no different with the current Khloe and Tristan drama. Smartly, Mailka told her friend to go out to Homegoods and Target, have a girls’ lunch, or get a massage to get out of her head. “You need to do a little bit more for you,” Mailka said. Spoken like a true bestie.
Khloe opened up about the conversation with Kris about cheating and how it affected her. “If someone did what Tristan did to my daughter, I would probably castrate them and smile doing it,” Khloe said. While Kris was trying to push them together, Khloe admitted to her friend that she was not attracted to the father of her kids anymore and couldn’t even imagine kissing him at this point. Malika did make Khloe admit that she’d never say never on reconciliation down the line, but it’s “definitely not now.” If only her family would listen to Khloe’s words loud and clear and stop with the #FreeTristan nonsense, maybe she could actually heal.
The Kardashians airs Thursdays on Hulu.
