While viewers were learning just how Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia) died during This Is Us' big post-Super Bowl episode, the show slipped in something major: another timeline. No, it's...
Consider this a case of art imitating life. When Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel and Million Dollar Listing New York breakout Fredrik Eklund joined forces to take...
Sometimes it’s not all diamonds and rose in Lisa Vanderpump‘s world. Sometimes the fancy parties held in her honor end in tears and the fancy restaurants she owns go up in smoke. Such was the case on last night’s Vanderpump Rules.
Well at least Jax Taylor, errrrr… I mean “Jason” is trying to change his life! HAHAHAHAHA
Lisa is now the Editor In Chief of Beverly Hills Lifestyle Magazine, which I’d always assumed was one of those free magazines, but because this is Beverly Hills that free magazine still is behooving of the fancy of Beverly Hills. Apparently it’s a thing people pay money for, which means Lisa wants a fancy party to celebrate her new position there. Makes sense. What does not make sense is that Lisa puts Stassi Schroeder in charge of said party. Predictably it’s a disaster.
This whole ‘Stassi Plays Party Planner’ is an absolute joke. First of all, it’s just a quasi-ruse to get Stassi thrown back into the ‘Queen Bee’ struggle at SUR, except no one respects an over-the-hill has-been waitress. She’s like the girl who graduated but college didn’t work out, so she’s now back at high school parties trying to relive her glory days. Also these events are hardly stressful when Lisa has everything pre-planned, so the only thing Stassi’s really doing is assembling the parts – yet failing to be able to even read an instruction manual! It seems easier to throw a SUR party then assemble IKEA furniture.
Stassi is supposed to be working with James Kennedy to establish the music, but professional that she is, instead she quizzes him over the rumors that he and Logan are an item. James is refreshingly and delightfully nonchalant in explaining that although he’s not gay, so what if he hooked up with a guy? Don’t worry – Stassi is NOT bigoted, judgmental or ignorant though!
Stassi’s other imperative task is to staff the party, but she’s only allowed to select from the least desirable candidates at SUR. Most specifically people who really, really can’t stand her. Lisa gives Stassi a list of three names: Ariana Madix, Jax, and Scheana Marie and is like hire these people – I don’t care what you have to do to get them! As if they don’t already work there and are much contractually obligated. Yet still Stassi fails. Ariana actually says NO! Lisa is forced to a have threatening meeting demanding they listen to Stassi as ‘party planner’. Frankly I think Lisa is loving this – she finally has Stassi under her thumb! Unfortunately still no one listens to Staphinfection cause you reap what you sow!
This party mayhem couldn’t have come at a worse time, though, because there was an electrical fire at SUR, put out, incidentally, by Ariana’s brother Jeremy who grabbed a fire extinguisher and kept it from spreading. I guess genius really does run in that family! Jax is disappointed. He was counting on days and days off and finally gaining his freedom from SUR. As if he could torch all those years of his bad behavior there, burning his past to a crisp, and so he could rebirth anew as “Jason.” Again. Baptism by fire is certainly the only way to save Jax!
Instead Lisa just relocated the party, and Jax doesn’t even get a day off. Which is too bad because he scheduled a hair cut and couldn’t possibly miss the appointment. I get it – my hair dresser is ALWAYS booked and I’m not moving that appointment come hell, high water, or Lisa’s wrath. Ergo Jax is an hour late to work the party which is already a fiasco thanks to Stassi’s poor planning skills.
But first I have to back up. Stassi is off her game because Ariana and Lala Kent think she’s a willfully ignorant racist. Despite her new J-O-B, Stassi is still focusing on her societally imperative podcast. It’s a galvanizing juggernaut and the people need her. Stassi will not let us down! Stassi taps Billie Lee, the new hostess at SUR, who happens to be trans, as a guest. Before the interview Ariana and Lala warned Billie to be wary given some of Stassi’s recent racially insensitive comments complaining about people making everything into a political statement. That sounds legit to me, but Stassi and the truth… go together like Jax and the truth.
Billie to her credit confronts Stassi immediately and Stassi, professional that she is, burst into tears and rips her false eyelashes off in a fit of tantrum. Geraldo Rivera, ace reporter, she is not! Stassi is absolutely GOBSMACKED anyone would think she’s intentionally ignorant. Her, never!? We might believe Stassi’s comments were just uninformed and accidental if it were an isolated event, but it’s not.
Also, Stassi, honey there’s this thing called THE INTERNET which has a wealth of information and news! I know Stassi has a GoogleAlert on herself, so why not one on, oh say, Black Lives Matter. Since the incident referenced last night, incident Stassi has also been called out for bragging that her initials are the same as the world’s most notorious hate group and mocking rape victims. To quote the infamous wordsmith of our times Brittney Spears: “Not that innocent.”
Billie was nice about it, though, and went through with the interview to give Stassi some redemption points, but poor, poor Stassi is so hurt over Ariana’s comments that she tattled to Lisa. Lisa, who apparently has never listened to ‘Straight Up With Stassi,’ is appalled that anyone would think such things about her sweet special little snowflake! All Ariana and Lala basically said was that Stassi takes pride in being controversially off the cuff, and sometimes that results in some insultingly ignorant statements.
The problem is Stassi, like Jax all toddlers, thinks she can say whatever she wants for attention and get away it cause she’s cute. Except she’s now 30, and descending the slippery slope into Jax-dom. The best thing is that Stassi believes she’s being very adulting because she didn’t confront Lala and Ariana during Lisa’s party, because her job comes first. A job she really didn’t do very well at all.
Stassi is so disorganized she didn’t even have a bar station designated, so Ariana is in the parking lot mixing pitchers of Pinkie Pumpies (or whatever the f–k) and there is no Jax in sight. Meaning she’s the sole bartender. Lisa is forced to have Max and Pandora get behind the bar until Brittany Cartwright shows up – 30 minutes late (blaming Jax) – can help out. Jax finally waltzes through the door an hour late. With no excuses. Lisa is furious, like legitimately, but Jax don’t care! Cause haircut! Disgusted with his flippant attitude, Lisa kicks him out.
Admittedly I loved Jax last night. He gets wasted during his confessional, takes his shoes off, admits he doesn’t care if SUR burns down, then chips his tooth trying to nonchalantly swig from a beer bottle. Oh Jax – he’s no longer fighted his natural inclinations anymore, is he!? As for Lisa being pissed at him, there’s always a another party in another of her restaurants which would welcome a tardy Jax Taylor, so he walked down the street to SUR to get drunk with Tom 2 and his visiting triplet brothers too.
Yes, the triplets are in town so Tom 1 can give them a makeover and Katie Maloney can put a halo over her flowing locks to perform the role of understanding, loving wife who is OK with CoorsLight Cans for houseguests. I just cannot with any of this malarky from the faux happiness of TomFakie to the Hillbilly Makeover edition including these trendy new doohickies called ‘BoxerBriefs’!
Although according to Kevin Lee it’s Katie who needs the makeover. It’s Lisa’s fault. She tried to hire a cheaper different party planner and her party was a disaster. I don’t know why Kevin was there if he wasn’t in charge of the event, but whatever was in those cocktails (Ariana said they were strong) seriously invigorated his bitchy side because he actually confronted Katie about her “out of control” weight gain.
In the middle of serving canapés to Hollywood types who subsist on bitchified air and vodka sodas with lemon, Kevin stops Katie to ask when she got so big and lecture her about it. COLD, seriously cold. Katie cries to Lisa who responds with shi-shi-shhhhhhhhhh it’s OK, you’re still beautiful… (with about all the conviction of Stassi claiming she doesn’t care what Ariana thinks of her.) Poor Katie!
Kevin is an out of line asshole! Yes, Katie has gained weight, but it’s completely disgusting for him to be commenting on it. Luckily Katie has been on a path to self-acceptance. 8 years ago she fell 25 feet through a skylight and seriously injured her face. She now has a scar, which she’s always appreciated as giving her character and perspective. I’m not gonna discuss Katie, her weight, or anything related to her accident except to say I’m glad she shared her story.
Following the worst party ever, everyone matriculated down the street for James‘ See You Next Tuesday event. Fearing that Kristen is still stalking his Uber receipts, James runs there instead. It was all for naught because Kristen was there anyway. Why? She’s temporarily distracted from torturing James to focus on Jax, though. And Jax seriously hates her guts for secretly inviting Brittany’s family to LA. Jax is now in therapy and reiki, which has helped him recognize that Kristen is the fakest person alive! Even Scheana, who was last week’s fakest person ever, has to remind him that his issues with Brittany are actually HIS fault, not Kristen’s. I mean, at least this time Kristen’s not responsible, because Jax didn’t actually cheat with her! Why is Kristen always in his relationships though?
So, after nearly getting fired and then dumped (again), Jax needs some healing from the hot reiki instructor Kelsey. She really understands him and gets inside his soul, down to the place where he’s not just vulnerable, he’s “Jason” – his good-side doppelgänger. This newest version of Jax (Jaxon?) wants to be his old self again pre-modeling days, or so he tells Kelsey, as she taps on his face and squeezes his legs, and she believes in him. She feels his goodness pulsating inside of him, before the fashion world corrupted him by telling him he wasn’t good enough or pretty enough yet constantly hired him for being pretty. UGH. It is SO hard to be Jax and Stassi… life is cruelly unfair to them, I’ll tell you!
TELL US – SHOULD JAX LEAVE BRITTANY FOR THE HOT REIKI INSTRUCTOR AND REINVENT HIMSELF AS JASON? IS KRISTEN THE FAKEST PERSON AT SUR? IS STASSI IGNORANT?

The post Vanderpump Rules Recap: Shi-Shi-Shi-S#*t! appeared first on Reality Tea.
Omarosa Manigault Newman may be one of the most anticipated, and automatically despised, Celebrity Big Brother houseguests. Many may remember Omarosa from her time on season 1 of The Apprentice. Omarosa’s villainous behavior quickly made her one of the most talked about characters on the show.

Non-reality show fans may associate Omarosa with being part of Donald Trump’s administration, and then infamously getting fired from it only a year later. Some Big Brother fans are going in with preconceived notions about Omarosa, and others are giving her a blank slate. And there are a very select few who have no clue who she actually is. For those Big Brother: Celebrity Edition fans: we can help. Here are a few fun facts about Omarosa
1. She Studied Journalism
Big Brother fans may be surprised to learn that Omarosa actually studied journalism. She got her B.A in Radio/TV Broadcast Journalism at Central State University in Ohio. She then got a M.A in Mass Communication Studies at Howard University. She also worked on a PhD in Communication Studies at Howard.
2. She’s a Repeat Offender
Omarosa is one of the reasons that The Apprentice became such a hit during its first season: Everyone was talking about her. She then tried to repeat the magic of her first run by appearing two additional times. Trump asked Omarosa back for Celebrity Apprentice and All-Star Celebrity Apprentice.
She didn’t win during any of her three appearances, but it helped bond her with Trump. She is one of four Celebrity Big Brother houseguests who have appeared on Celebrity Apprentice.
3. She Joins the Big Brother Birthday Club
Omarosa celebrated her birthday yesterday inside the Big Brother house. She joins the club of players who celebrated their birthday in the Big Brother house. Omarosa’s birthday is February 5. Let’s hope she had a birthday to remember in the house (#TeamFunFeeds)
4. She Worked in Another Presidential Office Before Trump
Omarosa worked in former Vice President Al Gore’s office. At 23, Omarosa had the job of answering Gore’s invitations. She claims that she left the position once she got married. Others claim that she wasn’t very good at her job. So Onarosa worked for Clinton’s team before the Trump one.
5. She Relates to a Transformer
Once Omarosa was quoted as saying:
The cartoon character that I most relate to is Optimus Prime from the The Transformers. Optimus Prime is the leader of the Transformers and works as a powerful force of goodness, courage and wisdom in the battle against the evil Decepticons. He first tries to find peaceful solutions to conflicts, but when battle lines are drawn, he becomes a fierce warrior capable of overpowering vast enemy forces to achieve his goals.
Omarosa’s killer instincts, journalism experience, not-afraid to be the villain attitude, and readiness for battle may make her a great Big Brother player.

They say marriage is a marathon and not a sprint. But why are things moving so slow with this couple?! In a sneak peek at tonight's all-new Married at First Sight, Jephte Pierre and...Even though it’s obviously some sort of labor violation, I wish that Vanderpump Rules was filmed for twenty four hours a day, every day of the year. There is always drama brewing within this crew. During her appearance on Watch What Happens Live last week, Kristen Doute was asked about the rumors that Scheana Marie hooked up with Carl Radke from Summer House.
During an episode of The Morning Breath, Summer House cast member Stephen McGee claimed, “Carl f-cked Scheana.” He later explained,“I went with Carl and Scheana back to Carl’s apartment one night and she knew where everything was.” That’s not exactly concrete evidence, so it’s not surprising that Andy Cohen looked to Kristen for further confirmation when she was a guest on his show.
Kristen told Andy, “So I wasn’t there, but I can one million percent confirm that it happened.” I love Kristen for having a “million percent certainty” over so many things she hasn’t seen, but clearly Scheana doesn’t think it’s as entertaining as I do.
Scheana clapped back after the episode and tweeted, “I find it funny how @kristendoute keeps saying she knows things “1 million percent” happened when she’s never there and we aren’t friends anymore … interesting. #PumpRules @bravowwhl.”
Then Scheana attempted to channel channeled that infamous scene where Stassi Schroeder told her, “I don’t know what I’ve done to you, but I’ll take a Pinot Grigio.” Scheana tweeted, “Last thing I will say about this BS. In the words of Stassi, @kristendoute idk what I’ve done to you, but I’ll GET you a Pinot Grigio. Looking pretty thirsty over there… ”
Instead of appreciating the homage, Stassi responded to that tweet with a grammar critique: “I didn’t want to get involved, but I think you meant to capitalize & stress the ‘you’, not ‘get’.” Kristen responded to that with, “Lit major coming in for the kill” along with a coffin emoji. Kristen also tweeted, “I love pinot grigio, especially when I’m parched.”
Even Scheana’s mother Erika van Olphen got in on the Twitter drama with a tweet of her own: “So @stephenmcgeeee Because Scheana knew where “cups” were at his apt that means they had sex? So lame…Maybe she can get you a cup…you sound a little thirsty!”
TELL US- DO YOU THINK THAT SCHEANA HOOKED UP WITH CARL FROM SUMMER HOUSE? WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON: KRISTEN’S OR SCHEANA’S?
