Brandi Redmond And Shep Rose Dish On Their Co-Stars On WWHL

Shep Rose and Brandi Redmond

Shep Rose and Brandi Redmond

Tonight Andy Cohen’s guests on Watch What Happens Live were Southern Charm’s Shep Rose and The Real Housewives of Dallas cast member Brandi Redmond. Shep shared a few thoughts on co-stars Craig, T-Rav and Kathryn and revealed whether or not he hooked up with Landon. Brandi dished on her co-stars, most of all LeeAnne Locken.

On her first night as a Real Housewife, Brandi (who was channeling Connie Britton circa Friday Night Lights tonight) says it’s “amazing” and “so much fun.”

On tonight’s episode of Southern Charm, Craig bought into J.D.’s company by giving him $15,000, is that a good idea? Shep says, “unfortunately, I’ve given people $15,000 and not expected to ever see it back. I think J.D. is a good business guy and I hope it works out for him.

Andy plays a clip from next week’s Southern Charm – showing more drama between Kathryn and Thomas. Shep laughs and says “I think they’re content to be miserable with one another.

Does Shep think Landon was jealous of him cozying up to her friends? “I don’t know. Landon’s seen it so often. How could she even be surprised?”

A viewer asks Brandi if LeeAnne truly wants to be the center of attention or is she really just a philanthropic person? “I think you’ll have to watch and see what happens.”  Andy prods her to give her personal take on it. Brandi says she thinks it’s the attention because LeeAnne has “never really accomplished anything in her life, in my opinion, so she uses the charity world to make herself the center of attention and as if she’s done all these amazing things.”

The status of Shep’s restaurant after the fire? “It’s still in ashes. But we’re working on it. We’re going to get it back better than ever.”

A caller asks if Landon and T-Rav have hooked up. Shep says that they both deny it and then he jokes that two negatives make a positive. He says he has no proof and he doesn’t care, he thinks everybody should hook up with everybody in his mind.

A caller asks if Shep feels like a hypocrite giving Craig crap about his work ethic when Shep himself doesn’t work. “I wasn’t hypocritical, I just thought he was a little too big for his britches and he would kind of agree that he was a bit of a jerk last year. My job as a friend is to give him a hard time. Women don’t understand mens’ relationships.” He adds, “We razz each other.”

Brandi is asked to dish on which of her co-stars have fillers and have had work done. “I think everybody.” And then she’s asked if she ever tried to hookup with a football player during her time as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader? “Never.”

A fan asks if Shep and Landon ever hooked up. Shep confesses that they made out but “no funny business”. And then Landon told him they shouldn’t date because they’re such good friends and he agreed.

A caller asks why Brandi has to talk about farts and poop, “while we were filming I was potty training and it’s just a natural part of my life, sorry!” 

Tonight’s Poll Question: Will Shep ever settle down? 55% said yes.

Real Housewives Of Dallas Stars Brandi Redmond And Stephanie Hollman On Friendships, Cast Dynamics, Reality TV

Stephanie Hollman & Brandi Redmond - Real Housewives of Dallas

Stephanie Hollman & Brandi Redmond - Real Housewives of Dallas

Apparently it’s Christmas over at Bravo, because last week Real Housewives Of New York returned and tonight’s Real Housewives Of Dallas premiere means we’re blessed with a whole new group of ladies to love and hate! Brandi Redmond and Stephanie Hollman, best friends and castmates, dished with Jenny McCarthy on her SiriusXM radio show “Dirty, Sexy, Funny” about what we can expect this season and how they’re preparing for Housewives notoriety. 

The ladies admit the casting experience was “really fast,” Stephanie jokes, “Brandi and I just acted special the whole time and they loved it, I guess.” 

Almost as soon as filming began, along came the mayhem. “The drama just happened. When you have crazy – it’s a no-brainer.” That “crazy” is castmate LeeAnne Locken

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

They describe LeeAnne as not just “crazy,” but “bossy” – and Tiffany Hendra is under her manicured thumb! 

“I feel like it’s Star Wars and you’re hanging out with, like, Darth Vader,” laughs Stephanie. “And we’re Jar Jar Binks!” 

“You kinda feel sorry for Tiffany because she has to hang out with ‘Bossy’ (aka LeeAnne),” adds Brandi.

On Bravo Keeping Secrets About What They Were Filming: 

“We didn’t know it was Housewives when we were filming – they told us waaaay afterwards. The entire time we filmed we had no idea. In my mind, I felt like I was making a home video no one was gonna see,” Stephanie jokes. They learned they had filmed Real Housewives Of Dallas the day before they filmed the title shoot, and Bravo required them to hold a star. 

(Note: Bravo did the same thing with Real Housewives Of Potomac. The women believed they were filming a show about the rules of etiquette and once filming wrapped they discovered it would be Real Housewives.)

How They’ve Prepared For Housewives Fame:

Stephanie admits she’s gotten a lot of flack for the traditional roles in her marriage and that her husband makes her do chores to earn money. Her husband Travis is indifferent. “Travis really doesn’t care what people think about him. I feel like he would let the cameras walk in while he was taking a poop,” she laughs. “I try to have him travel a lot.” 

Brandi and her husband went to therapy before filming to avoid the reality TV divorce trap. “I did therapy the whole way through filming too. I just wanted to make sure I was communicating, that I was keeping my priorities straight… A lot of times I would cry about the girls, you know…”

RELATED – MEET THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF DALLAS!

Brandi also reveals that before having her second child she worked for the Department of Defense doing top secret business logistics, but it required a lot of travel. She convinced her husband reality TV would be a good opportunity for her to have something for herself, but also a job that kept her closer to home. Interesting. 

On The Effects Reality TV Could Have On Their Friendship:

“We’re not mean to each other. Do we give each other shit, maybe, on the show? Yes – but that’s just how our friendship is,” explains Stephanie.  Brandi adds, “We don’t really fight. Our friendship’s healthier than most marriages!” 

Jenny warns them of the viciousness of Real Housewives, comparing it to war. She encourages them to strategize. Good thing Brandi has a defense background (and is in therapy). “Honestly, I’m really scared of that,” acknowledges Stephanie. “It’s gonna be hard to hear things about yourself that you don’t want to hear. For the first time in my life I feel extremely judged.” 

Brandi has “thicker skin,” partially from her past as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader when she was “always ridiculed” and “compared” to others. “I’m gonna focus on the people who support me and love me, and everybody else can just f–k off!” 

Dishing on the recent accusations that Tiffany may have been in porn (which Tiffany denied), Stephanie and Brandi are supporting Tiffany’s claims – for now! (Why do I feel like we have Danielle Staub Cop Without A Badge-style expose in Real Housewives Of Dallas‘ future?). “I watched a little clip!” Brandi admits. “In one of her little scenes somebody in a chicken suit comes in and does her. I will never look at Chick-fil-A the same way again.” 

I am definitely interested in how the friendship between Stephanie and Brandi holds up to the pitfalls of Housewives, arguably the biggest curse of reality TV.

Tonight we’ll get out first glimpse of the ladies from the Lone Star State, where even the drama is bigger, and it starts off with a bang!

Cary Deuber hosts a benefit where Brandi and Stephanie’s “inappropriate behavior” upsets LeeAnne. LeeAnne confronts them, causing tensions to erupt at a prestigious charity event. Stephanie is dragged into LeeAnne and Brandi’s arguing. Meanwhile, Tiffany questions whether her recent move back home to Dallas was a mistake.

Reality Tea will be live-tweeting (and recapping). 

Real Housewives Of Dallas premieres 10/9c on Bravo.

Update From Fort Dix: Teresa Giudice Not Yet Approved To Visit Joe Giudice; Was Apollo Nida Moved To Maximum Security?

Joe Giudice and Apollo Nida

Joe Giudice

A new week, a new update on imprisoned Real Housewives of New Jersey star Joe Giudice, courtesy of the all-too-eager family lawyer James Leonard Jr. 2 updates down, 162 to go.

James told People (because, of course) he visited Joe on Friday, adding, “He is doing as well as can be expected. I would say that he is adjusting very well. I know that he misses Teresa and their four daughters immensely, but Joe will get through this, just like Teresa did.”

CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR MORE!

James continued, “The staff and administration at Fort Dix have all been very pleasant to deal with, they are all extremely professional.”

While Joe‘s mother, Filomena, and sister, Maria, have been to visit, Teresa Giudice and their girls, Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana, haven’t because Teresa’s supervised release complicates her approval. “Teresa will be visiting with the girls as quickly as she’s approved by the prison, which should be within the next week,” said James.

James went on to shoot down the rumors which claimed Joe was 1) under the influence when he turned himself in and 2) moved to maximum security. “I was with Joe all morning up until the time he was taken into custody,” he said, “and I can tell you with absolute certainty that he was not drunk.”

Andy Cohen will be excited to know that Joe and Apollo Nida crossed paths. “Joe said Apollo was an absolute gentleman and helped him get acclimated and that they had a nice talk,” reported James.

That said, Joe and Apollo will not become Behind Bars Bravo Buddies anytime soon, as Apollo has reportedly been moved to maximum security. According to Radar, so take it or leave it, Apollo was caught with a cell phone.

Radar reported: “The prison staff took Apollo’s violation very seriously. He was taken out of camp with the general population and placed in maximum security.” Apollo will reportedly be there for 18 months. While there, his visitors (including Phaedra Parks and sons, Ayden and Dylan, if they were to visit again) will be subjected to full body scans.

Speaking of Phaedra, the Fort Dix insider told Radar that Phaedra hasn’t been questioned about the cell phone Apollo allegedly got his hands on. Not that he needs her help… getting his hands on things he shouldn’t have is his specialty.
