ABC and The Bachelor solved two problems with one finale

As The Bachelor aired an uncomfortable, emotionally raw breakup between Arie Luyendyk, Jr., and Becca Kufrin, former Bachelor star Sean Lowe tweeted, "I don’t like this one bit. Shouldn’t have filmed" and "It was too much. It was also cruel." The innocence of this response is both quaint and preposterous, especially coming from someone who knows how  all of this works, and went on the show four years after nearly the exact same thing happened in 2009,... keep reading this story »

VIDEO: Meet The Cast Of Southern Charm New Orleans! Bringing The Big Easy To Bravo April 15th!

Bravo loves a franchise…and why shouldn’t it? Just recall Real Housewives! However, has Bravo actually mastered the spin-off? The verdict is still out on Relationshep, but what was that if not a hook for the latest season of South of Broad mischief? I’m going to reserve judgment. Some things just can’t be improved upon, especially when we’re talking about the OG Southern dysfunction that is my one true love, Southern Charm. They’re just so adorably flawed, it’s perfection. I mean, look at Thomas Ravenel (or don’t–he’s a mess!). We watched Southern Charm Savannah, and that’s the end of that sentence. However, will the viewers watch–and LOVE–Southern Charm New Orleans? Only time will tell, but I’m excited about the prospect…and the bayou drama!

Thankfully, we have the cast bios and teaser trailer for Bravo’s latest mint julep and old money shenanigans set in the Big Easy. I’m optimistic, which is a positive. Let’s give it a go and meet the cast of Southern Charm New Orleans, shall we?

Bravo touts a fun line-up in its initial introduction to the new series which premieres Sunday, April 15 at 9 PM ET. The network revels, “Pack your bags! It’s time to head on down to the Big Easy for the series premiere of Southern Charm New Orleans. [The show] will introduce us to a whole new crew of young Louisiana socialites who always bring the glitz, glamour, and good times. Or, as New Orleans Charmer Justin Reese so perfectly puts it in the [below] trailer, ‘My circle is well-to-do, easy on the eyes, and most of all, well-connected. And though we all have our different histories and beliefs, we all manage to be a big melting pot of gumbo around here.'” Listen, if he’s bringing the gumbo, I’ll try my best to bring a viewing audience!

Bravo promises that this fancy friend group comes from the most prestigious lineage with its finger on the pulse of the social happenings in NOLA. Obviously, this crowd is the who’s who of high society, but what lies beneath? Bravo reveals, “[D]on’t let the fabulous lives of these squads fool you; they also have their secrets, which you know is going to make for a drama-filled season. In addition to the beefs, expect to see some incredible parties, fashion, food, and fun. Oh, and you’ll also notice some heated moments and even a pregnancy test featured in this season’s trailer. Still, friendship and family are always at the heart of Southern Charm New Orleans, as well as the resilient spirit of this crew and this city.”

My interest is certainly piqued! Check out the players (and the trailer!) below.

Barry Smith

Describing Barry, the site reports, “A New Orleans native, Barry Smith currently resides in the city with his wife Tamica and their two children. Barry grew up playing sports and once his athletic career ended, he turned his passion for fitness into a business and opened his own company, FUEL Center of Fitness. The exclusive fitness club is dedicated to helping athletes achieve their desired performance goals. Barry is determined to take his company to the next level and continue the grind of being a successful business owner.” Watch out CUT Fitness and Tamra Judge!

Tamica Lee

Bravo states, “Tamica Lee is an ambitious go-getter raised in New Orleans and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. From being the face of New Orleans’ local entertainment news to juggling her jam-packed social calendar, Tamica is always on the go and likes things that way. A wife and mother of two, Tamica’s family is a top priority but she loves thriving as a socialite and business woman too. Tamica is outrageous, unapologetic, and completely unafraid to speak her mind. From making public appearances to hosting events and working for her brother’s charity organization, she is somehow still managing to find time for ladies’ lunches and rest.”

 

Jeff Charleston

With a name like Charleston, he’s a shoe-in for the franchise! According to the network, “Jeff Charleston grew up in Oregon and after playing college football at Idaho State University played his rookie season with the Indianapolis Colts. He ended his pro-football career as a defensive end for the New Orleans Saints with a Super Bowl title under his belt. Jeff currently resides with his wife Reagan in New Orleans and is doing his best to navigate life post-football but can’t shake the feeling that something is stopping him from moving forward.” Could it be…

 

Reagan Charleston

This lady?? “Reagan Charleston, whose family has been in NOLA since the 1700s, has deep roots in New Orleans. Her family owned the world famous Coghlan Art Gallery in the French Quarter and her ancestors are featured prominently in the city’s cultural history. They are even credited with the creation of the renowned cocktail, the Sazerac, the official drink of Louisiana. Currently attending law school and interning at a prestigious firm in the city, Reagan balances studying diligently and flexing her entrepreneurial muscle with building out her artistic jewelry and accessories line. Although her dreams to have it all seem within reach, the pressures of school, career, marriage, and family life are beginning to weigh on her.”

Jon Moody

Every good cast needs a brooding artist, and here’s one I won’t mind watching. Bravo reveals, “Jon Moody is a well-versed artist athlete known for his innovative portraits and incredible taste. Through artistic expression, Jon aims to bring awareness to social, economic and worldly issues. Jon’s work has been featured in the White House and many celebrities also commission his well sought-after pieces. His popularity increased even further after his artwork was chosen to appear on the sets of hit shows Empire and Star. Jon comes from a family of overachievers and is always striving to be a positive influence to others. Laser-focused on his rising career, Jon won’t let anything slow him down, especially drama.”

 

Justin Reese

Last but not least, “Justin Reese is a personal injury lawyer and sports agent living in New Orleans. The son of a prestigious judge and activist Dottie Reese, Justin’s family is well established in this city he calls home. A true people person, Justin decided to use his connections to establish an exclusive gentleman’s social and business club – Coterie. Stylish and social, Justin is determined to not only work hard, but to also enjoy all life has to offer. Justin is actively working to rebuild his childhood home that was impacted during Hurricane Katrina.”

My DVR is set…what about yours?

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Recap: Bound And Gagged

On last night’s episode of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills people were celebrating all sorts of things and this required lingerie shopping, candles that looked like cupcakes, and wearing giant garbage bags to take naps in. The biggest news, however, was that based upon the strength of her perfect gift-giving, Lisa Vanderpump chose a new court favorite. Teddi Bear Mellencamp Arroyave – you have arrived! Elevated to the premiere spot as Lisa’s mean girl in waiting. Meanwhile it was off with Dorit Kemsley‘s head! Or at least one of her ridiculous hairstyles.

Somehow I think Teddi will learn from Kyle Richards and Dorit, and won’t make the mistake of double-crossing Lisa… Doing all she can to stay in good graces. After all, Teddi is all about accountability and we finally got a glimpse of what that entails. Essentially Teddi is a diet and exercise baby-sitter. Rich people will buy anything!

Now that she’s cancer-free, Camille Grammer has a new body. The vagina of a sixteen-year-old, to be precise, but only part of a cervix. Medically I have no idea what this means, but Camille looks awesome – even if she’s not 100% confident yet. So Camille turns to expert in all things questionably sexy, Lisa Rinna, to go lingerie shopping. Lipsa talks Camille into bunny ears and a whip, then takes the opportunity to strut around the store in her own skimpy lingerie right in front of the windows to the street. Haven’t people in LA seen enough of Lisa Rinna’s lingerie? Most importantly Camille had fun and she got lots of tasty gifts for David. And also a little somethin-somethin for her pal Dorit.

Then the ladies meet at Camille’s house to buy candles for cancer in support of the Women’s Cancer Foundation. If there’s one thing these women can rally behind it’s shopping. And what’s better than shopping for a cause? After some drama about the state of her guest bathroom linens, Camille looks radiant and the party is awash in the glow of spending money. $300 money. On a candle. But it’s for charity!

To make sure their friendship is back on track, Kyle and Erika Girardi had gone to lunch together and both dressed like agreed to dress like one of the Golden Girls. Kyle got Blanche (whom she did not do satin-y harem pant justice), but Erika was channeling Sophia in a blouse with a big giant bow. Kyle is too busy being successful at TV shows to have petty fights and made things right with Dorit and Lisa, so by the time they’re candling for a cause, it’s only LVP Dorit needs to worry about.

Somewhere between the smell of plumeria and candles topped with giant crystal tigers, Dorit decided two things: 1) is that when she drinks she runs her mouth 2) Teddi is responsible for her fight with Lisa because SHE repeated to Kyle everything Dorit had said – but embellished it. Strangely it seems Erika is in agreement with her on both fronts, but in a shocking about-face LVP couldn’t be bothered with Dorit’s excuses. Even worse Teddi refuses to discuss it and be baited by another of Dorit’s useless circular justifications to make herself the injured party. Dorit was itching for a fight, but instead she was summarily dismissed to lick wounds she didn’t know she had.

Dorit spends the entire rest of the night literally chasing LVP, begging her to love her again, and literally harassing her. Oddly, this was her plan; to love Lisa into re-submission. Erika and Kyle watch-on, observing Dorit’s fall from grace with scandalized glee.

Instead poor Lisa got a #MeToo moment as she attempted to leave! Dorit actually climbed on top of her, creepily petted her hair, yet still tried to blame Teddi for all their foible. Dorit was like Golum with the golden ring – and yes, Lisa is very sparkly, but BOUNDARIES lady.

Dorit believed Lisa was leaving the party early to get away from her, but the real reason is that it’s  the eve of LVP’s birthday and Ken planned a romantic night. And Ken is the only person Lisa hopes to get some dry humping from! Ooooh-la-la KEN TODD!

Lisa, her claws thus far sheathed, reminded Dorit that she herself had confessed to calling Lisa “jealous” and “insecure” so Lisa is actually mad at Dorit based on Dorit’s own admission of her words, and Teddi has nothing to do with it! Dorit keeps brushing this aside because ‘details-schmetails.’

Dorit is a mess. She looks a mess and she acts one too. Does this woman have short-term memory loss? Traumatic brain injury from too many weird hair treatments? Or maybe every time she changes her hair, she also changes her mind? PK has now assumed control of Dorit’s swimwear collection –  maybe he needs to assume control of her mind too? Speaking of, why is PK making decisions for Dorit’s collection? Behind her back he went and changed the name, plus the concept – the whole thing was awful and also cruel, but Dorit just shrugged and went along with it. Doesn’t he have his own Monopoly board company  to run?

Dorit blaming Teddi for her fight with Lisa is ridiculous!  First of all Dorit said all those things, and there were multiple witnesses – like Camille, who is laying in wait to strike Dorit down as well – and secondly Dorit admitted to LVP not once but TWICE that she had gossiped about her. Attempting to blame Teddi is amateur.

Things turn from bad to worse at LVP’s birthday luncheon the following day. Kevin Lee returns, bringing with him cocktail glasses Lisa purchased from the Camille No Longer Loves Kelsey Liquidation Sale and filled them with cold fish. Lisa starts the party by playing a prank on Dorit where she serves her wine in a giant green tumbler Lisa probably got as a gag souvenir, either that or it’s something from Max’s college apartment. Dorit laughs it off while sipping back the bile of understanding that she’s made an irrevocable mistake in double-crossing LVP. Did she not observe the turn of Yolanda Hadid Foster Hadid? Did she not see how that munched out? Oh, Dorit – RESEARCH is everything.

Everyone has brought Lisa sparkling gifts but none so perfect as the pink, fuzzy bareback saddle with rhinestone buckles Teddi has given. Lisa drools with glee and delight, and immediately christens her new no. 1 sycophant “Teddi Bear.” Kyle is late to the party, but when she gets wind of this she will laugh deeply and throatily because Dorit was the new Kyle, but now Teddi is the new Dorit, while Kyle remains, finally, the old favorite who still must do the occasional groveling.

Teddi’s gift eclipsed all others until Camille pulled out a little ‘bonus gift’ revenge for Dorit. A ball gag. Dorit was surprised and also embarrassed. Everyone else laughs hysterically, but Dorit is visibly hurt and offended. She also attempts to chastise Camille for refusing to let go of the harmless joke she made a few months back. Camille merely shrugs because if the shoe fits… I love shady Camille. She is so perfection.

Erika, recalling panty-gate and her own season’s-long embarrassment, is disappointed by Dorit’s hypocrisy. Didn’t Dorit implore Erika to just stop taking herself so seriously? The reversal of fate displayed at the party leaves Dorit feeling wounded and alone. PK warns her to let it go, to bite her tongue and just ride it out instead of causing a scene at Lisa’s party, but Dorit cannot contain herself. Finally as Lisa, again, gushes over Teddi, her nemesis, and basically announces that Dorit deserves to be punished, Dorit stands up and leaves the table, deciding she’s “celebrated enough.”

Lisa, knowing full-well, that her intentional punishing, done with painful little scratches and nips, is the reason Dorit is storming out of the party, but she follows her out to figure out what’s wrong? How ironic that just weeks ago, Dorit was viciously complaining that Lisa was self-absorbed for leaving dinner abruptly, but now here is Dorit doing the same thing! Somehow I think Dorit will try to blame all this on Teddi too…

Dorit– if you can’t take the heat, get out of Lisa’s friend group, apparently. Or at least have another Pumptini until you can calm down enough to joke about the ballgag and convince Teddi to wear it!

TELL US – IS DORIT BEING OVER-SENSITIVE OR IS EVERYONE GANGING UP ON HER?
