Paramount+ is making us an offer we can't refuse. In the based-on-real-life-events drama The Offer, the streaming platform gives viewers the opportunity to learn about the making of...Lisa Vanderpump might have had trouble with her L.A. restaurants, but things seem to be looking up in other parts of the country. The Vanderpump Rules star and restauranteur has 36 establishments with husband Ken Todd. Including one already established in Las Vegas, named Vanderpump Cocktail Garden. Now they are adding one more to their Vegas portfolio!
As reported by People, Lisa and Todd just opened up a new Paris-themed restaurant. The eatery, appropriately named Vanderpump à Paris, is located at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. The press release notes that diners can experience a piece of Paris with its “delicious dishes, whimsical cocktails, and a lush atmosphere.”
LVP and her design partner, Nick Alain, were inspired by Lisa’s life in France. Lisa and Todd lived there for almost 10 years. Said Lisa, “We had such an incredible time living in France for close to 10 years, so we are inextricably tied to the country.” Lisa added of the restaurant’s vibe, “You’ll find our love for French wine, delicious French food, and our fascination with French culture peppered throughout Vanderpump à Paris.”
Lisa fashioned the spot after an old Parisian courtyard, complete with flowers and elegant greenery. Each piece is located throughout the restaurant in various seating areas, giving it an ethereal feel. There are about 200 seats and they are embellished with velvet and oversized, fancy pillows.
The light fixtures and custom furniture area all from LVP and Nick’s design line, Vanderpump Alain. Long, white marble and iron bars adorn one wall, with crystal chandeliers on each end. Behind it is a large window that gives a look at the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River. Water flows down the glass as an added touch of whimsy. At the center of the restaurant, there is a gold cocktail chair with a water fountain.
As for the menu, there are several cocktail and wine selections. Those drinks include sweet dessert drinks that pair with “reimagined Parisian classics” such as ratatouille frites, trio of tartares, and French onion mac and cheese. Yum!
The SVP and general manager of the new restaurant, Jason Gregorec, said that opening Vanderpump à Paris is “the beginning of a new chapter” for the hotel and casino. He said in the press release, “Lisa Vanderpump has created a one-of-a-kind destination, featuring decadent cocktails, Parisian- inspired bites and intentional design details for our guests to enjoy.
Lisa previously said of her food and drink businesses, “I’ve always had a passion for entertaining. I love that whole feeling of making guests feel special and creating a beautiful ambiance and that parlays through the whole space.”

Is it just me, or does Heather Dubrow‘s return to Real Housewives of Orange County make you nostalgic for the RHOC of yore? While I love me some Fancy Pants, I actually find myself missing the Tres Amigas antics of Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, and Shannon Beador. Which is a sentence I never thought I’d write. But it’s true.
Don’t get me wrong, Shannon‘s doing her best to carry on solo. She ambushed Heather and Terry Dubrow at their welcome back party, with the knowledge of Nicole James‘s lawsuit. Albeit she got Gina Kirschenhieter and Emily Simpson to do her dirty work for her. Girl’s slightly salty that Heather’s chosen Gina to be her number 1 gal-pal this go-round. Although I should think Shannon should just be thankful she’s not the work-in progress that is the marriage of Dr. Jen Armstrong and Ryne Holliday. No messy dinner parties for you!
While we’ve still got Shannon, and she’s definitely stirring the pot from left to right, it’s still not the same. I don’t think we’ve seen a tabletop dance thus far this season. Gasp. We did however have a naked Noella Bergener in the pool though, so that feels familiar.
And let’s be real. Tamra takes any opportunity to make herself relevant in any way she can. Most usually making digs via her podcast with Teddy Mellencamp, under the guise of ‘girl-talk.’ She thinks Heather talks to much about money, Gina and Emily are obnoxious, and called Noella the village idiot. Can’t say she’s 100 percent wrong here, but still.
Shannon was recently on Watch What Happens Live to chat with Andy Cohen about RHOC. And a fan wrote in to get her opinion on Tamra. Most specifically about Tamra claiming Shannon dropped her as soon as she was fired from the show.
The viewer queried, “Tamra said after she left OC you stopped contacting her. Is that true? And do you have regrets with your friendship and things that happened?” Andy hadn’t even finished asking the questions, when Shannon started mouthing, “NO.”
After Andy was done, Shannon answered, “It is not true, and I have text messages to show that. I just choose not to engage in the public. I absolutely was there.” And that my friends is the end of that. That is, of course, until Tammy Sue decides to clap back with a retort of her own.

Katie Maloney is official SUR-ving Tom Schwartz with divorce papers. After more than a decade together, the Vanderpump Rules star, 35, has officially filed for divorce from her...Dancing With the Stars fans were shocked when long-time host Tom Bergeron was fired ahead of the show’s 29th season. In a statement to Entertainment Tonight, BBC Studios and ABC said, “Tom Bergeron will forever be part of the Dancing with the Stars family. As we embark on a new creative direction, he departs the show with our sincerest thanks and gratitude for his trademark wit and charm that helped make this show a success.”
Tom had been the host of DWTS since it’s June 2005 debut. Tom took to Twitter to share the news. “Just informed @DancingABC will be continuing without me. It’s been an incredible 15 year run and the most unexpected gift of my career,” he tweeted. “I’m grateful for that and for the lifelong friendships made. That said, now what am I supposed to do with all of these glitter masks?”
Tom’s co-host, Erin Andrews, was also axed. Erin competed on Season 10 of DWTS and finished in third place with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Erin replaced Brooke Burke as Tom’s co-host.
In September of 2020, executive producer Andrew Llinares defended the decision to fire Tom and Erin and replace them with Tyra Banks, per Entertainment Tonight. “Any show like this that has been on for many, many seasons needs to continue to evolve. So, I think changing that host is all about evolution,” Andrew stated.
“It was all about making the show feel fresh, making it feel new and make it reach out to a new audience — as well as the audience that’s been there for years.” Andrew added that Tyra “brought a new life to everything.” She certainly brought elaborate costume changes.
People reported that Andrew, who worked on DWTS for five seasons, has departed the series. And Tom had a shady response to Andrew’s exit.
A fan shared a tweet about Andrew’s departure, and tagged Tom, asking him for his “thoughts.” Tom did not disappoint. “Karma’s a b—,” he tweeted with a winky face emoji. Tom for the win!
According to People, Tom discussed his dismissal during an October 2021 interview on the late Bob Saget’s podcast, Here For You. “In all candor, the show that I left was not the show that I loved. So, at the end of the season that turned out to be my last season, I kind of knew,” Tom explained. “It was kind of obvious that we were kind of butting heads [behind-the-scenes]. It wasn’t a pleasant [experience].”
Tyra has also stirred up plenty of controversy. A source claimed that the new DWTS host allegedly made it known “behind the scenes that all of the Real Housewives cast members have been banned.”
Tyra’s publicist denied that Tyra said that. “This is 100 percent untrue. She’s a huge fan of the ‘Housewives’ and everyone knows Tyra is a businesswoman first,” her publicist stated. “She has nothing to do with casting.”
Last season, Real Housewives of Atlanta peach Kenya Moore waltzed around the ballroom. Season 30 was monumental in many ways. It saw the first same-sex couple, with pop star JoJo Siwa dancing with pro Jenna Johnson. They slayed with every routine.
Pro Cheryl Burke and her partner, Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby both contracted Covid-19 and practiced remotely during quarantine. They even danced a routine remotely from each of their homes. That was a DWTS first.
In the end, NBA star Iman Shumpert won the mirror ball with his partner Daniella Karagach. Jenna and JoJo came in second place, but are grateful to be besties.
I hope that next season, if Tyra hosts, we can cut her costume changes, and get back to the DWTS group dances at the top of the show. Please!

The lives of The Real Housewives of New Jersey are in disarray this season. From personal woes to conflict among each other. These six ladies (and Traci Barber) may never be the same again. Nobody is off-limits.
Jennifer Aydin has the most beautiful family. I might be a bit biased because she was one of the first people to compliment me on the birth of my daughter last week. However, she shines in the solo scenes with her kids.
We’re getting a good old-fashioned one-on-one sitdown! Jennifer and Margaret Josephs are meeting to hash out all of their issues. Who knows? Maybe this sit-down will bring the two women closer together.
Jennifer says she wanted to protect her kids from Bill Aydin’s affair. It was easier for her to shove it under the rug. Jennifer’s hurt. She breaks down talking to Margaret, and it seems like Marge somewhat regrets her decision.
Marge said she never would’ve brought the affair to light if she knew nobody was aware. She had no inkling that Jennifer never once confided in anyone about Bill’s actions. She thought Jennifer was going to blow it off and not get as devastated as she is.
Bill’s so embarrassed because of the affair going public. Jennifer’s having a difficult time with this because she’s finally ready to address his affair. There’s a fear that she might realize not wanting to remain in her marriage.
Jennifer’s often wondered why Bill chose to cheat in the first place. What led to his decision to stray? Bill’s silence is defeating at this point. He’s not defending his wife. You shouldn’t have to be told to stick up for your wife.
Jennifer says Bill’s refusal to get involved is worse than infidelity. Due to their culture, Jennifer was silent when the affair first went down. All of these years later, she wants more out of Bill. She wants him to take a more prominent stance in her defense.
Marge feels bad for opening Pandora’s box and causing their marital issues. Technically, Marge isn’t even the issue here. The biggest issue is her never working through the issues of the past. It might hurt less in the present if she had.
Jennifer admits she played a role in how everything’s gone down. She owns up to hitting below the belt, and she says she’ll be more conscious of the comebacks during the drama. Jennifer even wants to attempt to make peace with Melissa Gorga.
However, Jennifer also shines a light on the overall hypocrisy of everyone in the group. She brings up her issues with Jackie Goldschneider, but Marge retorts with a comment about Jennifer’s digging for info. She says it happened after Jackie and Teresa Giudice made up, and Teresa never did any digging. Jennifer asks Marge how she knows Teresa wasn’t calling around. OH SNAP. Let’s GO.
Jennifer won’t say that she was calling around asking for info on Tre’s behalf. It’s so obvious Teresa is behind this. Typical! I love her anyway though.
Jennifer’s surprised to learn about the allegations of abuse against Louie Ruelas. Marge gets Jennifer wondering about Louie’s character. The biggest advancement in all of this is the idea of a ceasefire between Marge and Jennifer.
Dolores Catania and Frank Catania spend so much time together for being divorced. Their chemistry is through the roof. Part of me wouldn’t hate the idea of them giving their romance another chance.
Dolores’ mom is spending another week in the hospital which is a big blow to the family. Getting her mother on a healthy regimen is going to be more difficult than it sounds.
Dolores is shocked to learn that David Principe talks about her all of the time. They haven’t had any communication with each other, but Frank thinks David’s hurt. There wasn’t much closure in this relationship.
Frank urges Dolores to find a boyfriend instead of sleeping around. He wants her to find the right guy who will treat her right. Hopefully, she finds her happily ever after in her next man.
The team at the rehabilitation center wants Jackie to go to the live-in facility to get help. Evan Goldschneider wants her to do whatever they’re asking of her. He wants her to do whatever she can to live a long and happy life.
Antonia Gorga still has no interest in resuming her cheerleading activities. She hasn’t been the same since her torn ACL, and it’s concerning Melissa and Joe Gorga. Possible red flags on the horizon.
The tension between Bill and Jennifer is palpable. It hasn’t been the same since the exposure of the affair. Jennifer said at the time, not talking about the affair was the best way to cope. She wants to do whatever is needed to get back in a good place.
Bill’s finally sticking up for Jennifer, but it’s a shame he had to be pushed for it. He doesn’t want any part of the forgiveness she’s offering the group. It’s obvious he’s embarrassed and ashamed on some level and doesn’t want to speak on it. However, that silence is what caused a decade of resentment to build up in the first place.
Marge is concerned about Jackie’s choice not to do the inpatient treatment for her eating disorder. She doesn’t want anything bad happening to her friend, but she’s been concerned for a while. Also, she doesn’t want to push too hard because Jackie tends to blow up on this topic.
David’s offering to look after Dolores’ mother, but it’s not happening. He’s still not speaking to Dolores. It’s like a dagger to her heart. Why can’t they have a simple conversation?
Dolores wants to feel all of the bad feelings to grow. Jennifer equates it to her marriage woes. She’s still devastated about the state of her marriage. It would be nice if they can make things work.
Jackie doesn’t want to give Jennifer the benefit of the doubt because of Evan. Marge shares the information with Jackie about Tre’s possible digging which enrages Jackie. Everyone in this group is getting so comfortable trying to wreck each other’s personal lives. It’s quite sad to witness.
Teresa’s pissed that Marge or Traci would keep bringing up Louie and the allegations. I have a feeling the tree course event Traci’s hosting will be nothing but a drama fest. Teresa vs Margaret is about to kick into high gear.
The tree course looks terrifying. These women freak out so easily on each other, so trusting while blindfolded is a big ask. However, the primary conversations are all about Jennifer and the state of her marriage. It’s hanging on by the teeniest of threads by the way Marge makes it sound.
Why is Dolores totally fine with Jennfier taking the complete fall for the digging? Teresa is so obviously behind all of this, but Dolo is on her ride or die BS again. Give me a break with her definition of loyalty.
Teresa’s longest-serving puppet Dolores fills everyone in about Tre’s plan to come in hot. She’s in a rage because of Traci and Marge’s recent comments about Louie. Let’s not dare pop the love bubble. It’s red flag central, but okay.
Teresa doesn’t want to be at the treescape, and she’s not even trying to hide it. She’s already on a rampage and ranting about how dumb the experience is. She also has no idea that Jennifer’s upset with the lack of vocal support from Teresa. She’s not getting the same energy back from Tre that she gives her.
Teresa doesn’t understand how she’s a hypocrite for digging dirt on Evan but not wanting anyone to question Louie. Make it make sense. I don’t want a legion of Tre Huggers after me for this, but maybe Tre’s time is up. She doesn’t enjoy the show, and she wants her relationship private. Nothing is private when you’re on a reality show.
Teresa says Marge looks like shit, and Marge says Tre looked like shit all last year. This is it, folks. We’re off to the races with this Teresa vs Margaret feud!

Randall Emmett is finally talking about his split from Lala Kent--sort of. The film producer appeared on the March 23 episode of Golnesa Gharachedaghi's Genuinely GG podcast, and...
Warning: This article contains a graphic image. Liz Woodburn is on the road to recovery. The Made in Mexico star took to her Instagram Stories on March 21 to share...Kelly Dodd strikes again! After a recent episode of Real Housewives of Orange County, Kelly clearly had nothing better to do but troll on Twitter. But she’s no stranger to talking smack on her former franchise. Since she was handed her walking papers in June of last year, she’s been busy hating ever since. Heather Dubrow can’t even go out to dinner without Kelly making her life hell.
But this time, Kelly was targeting RHOC’s latest dynamic duo, Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson. As reported by Reality Blurb, Kelly jumped on the hate train with fans. One fan tweeted, “Gina is a STRAY DOG tag-along charity case! She’s never hosted a party at her house, never threw anything extravagant like the other women, nor does she bring anything to this show except being FAR, FAR, FAR up Heather’s a**! ENOUGH!” To which Kelly replied, “Exactly.”
As for Emily, one fan questioned Kelly, “Could you be more jealous of her???” Kelly shot back, “Jealous of what her body? Her husband? Her in-laws house that they live in?” She continued, “Nah not jealous just don’t like fake people.. again, what law firm does she work for? What case law or discovery has she ever done. I guess when you’re dumb and uneducated you believe everything.”
Despite a third person chiming in to defend Emily “doing good work” and noting that the criminal justice system “is so unfair,” Kelly would hear nothing of it. Kelly sneered, “Doing what work? She hasn’t practiced law in [four] years!! She’s a pencil pusher. She’s never litigated in her life. It’s a fake story line to deflect her Trump ness ..” Honestly asking what Kelly knows about being a lawyer, let alone Emily’s work as a lawyer. Also, not all lawyers are litigators. Just saying.
But Kelly was clearly enjoying the attention, good and bad. Someone eventually wondered, “Would you even come back if asked?” Surprisingly, Kelly responded, “I am happy with my current situation but the money was sooo good it’s hard.”
No doubt Kelly was earning pretty decent money after being a complete train wreck of drama for 5 seasons. But I assumed she had too much pride to admit she would go back, regardless of the reason. Either way, I seriously doubt Bravo would take her back after her shenanigans during the show and after her leave. And something tells me fans wouldn’t exactly be excited to see her back either.
TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHAT KELLY SAID OF GINA AND EMILY? WHY DO YOU THINK SHE SPENDS SO MUCH TIME TALKING ABOUT HER FORMER FRANCHISE? ARE YOU SURPRISED SHE WOULD CONSIDER COMING BACK?

Season 13 of Real Housewives of New York was a snooze fest. Newbie Eboni K. Williams joined the cast as the first Black Housewife on the franchise. Eboni forged a strong friendship with Leah McSweeney. Their bond was so strong in fact that they both got tattoos in memory of their grandmothers who had recently passed away.
But Eboni’s RHONY debut was a bumpy one. Luann de Lesseps called Eboni “angry” and ordered her to leave her house. Luann took a lot of heat for her comment. Some viewers, and cast members, felt that Eboni was “too preachy.”
In an ominous sign, the Season 13 reunion was canceled, which was shocking news. It turns out that the reunion was scrapped because Eboni reportedly lodged a complaint against Ramona Singer. Eboni alleged that Ramona said something that was “racially motivated.”
A third-party investigated the allegations, but by time the investigation was over it was too late to air a reunion. Ramona was cleared of the allegations. Before Eboni filed her complaint, a crew member also filed a complaint against Ramona for a similar reason.
So, what did Ramona say to trigger the investigation? She allegedly remarked, “This is why we shouldn’t have black people on the show.” She supposedly made the comment about Eboni during Eboni’s argument with Luann when Luann kicked the lawyer out.
Of course, Ramona denied making the comment. “I never said that. It’s a terrible lie,” Ramona stated. There was talk that Ramona was fired. There were whispers of a major cast shake-up, and that the show was entering “permanent hiatus” territory.
There were rumors that Ramona, Leah, and Luann made a pact to leave the party for the tell-all book, Not All Diamonds And Rose: The Inside Story of The Real Housewives From the People Who Lived It as soon as Eboni arrived. That’s cold.
The plot thickened when Leah said that she hadn’t “heard too much” from Eboni. Meanwhile, Eboni referred to her relationship with Leah as “friendly colleagues.” Ouch.
Page Six reported that Eboni wants to return to RHONY whenever production begins again. Eboni is looking forward to working with her co-stars, even Ramona, who Eboni said she “really connects with.” Did Eboni watch last season? The attorney has remained close with Sonja Morgan, which isn’t surprising. I’m still shook about Eboni and Leah not being besties.
“I want more glamour, more style, more indulgence and more good times,” Eboni explained of what she would like next season. “And more women in the cast!” Eboni stated that stylist June Ambrose would make a “great addition.” She would like to see members of the LGBTQIA+ community represented on RHONY. “I would love to see that type of visibility increase on the show,” Eboni added.
And if Eboni doesn’t land back on RHONY, she could still pursue her dream job of co-hosting The View.

Ahoy, yachties! Welcome back to another lively episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. This week had everything: makeouts, fallouts, disasters and possibly the most wasted charter guest the show has ever seen. But before we get to all of the drama happening aboard Parsifal III, I just wanted to turn your attention briefly to the newest addition to the Below Deck family: Below Deck Down Under! I’ll be recapping the entire season of the new show over on Peacock, and would love if you would take a minute to watch the show, read my recaps and let me know what you think in the comments! I promise the show’s great so far. And my recaps of the first three episodes are already live here, here and here!
OK, now back to what’s happening on Parisfal: Gary King and Daisy Kelliher‘s steamy hot tub hookup. OK, it’s only a makeout. But it’s quite a long one and I still can’t believe it happened! Neither can Daisy, it seems. Because she’s the one who breaks away and goes running for her cabin. Leaving Gary in the hot tub to ponder the alcohol-influenced decisions that have led them here. At the same time, Tom Pearson and Ashley Marti are just leaving the guest cabin after having had sex. Though it’s unclear how much of that was Ashley trying to get back at Gary for not paying enough attention to her. Either way, this is all certainly going to be awkward come morning…
Thankfully, the following day is a turnaround day. And equally thankfully for Daisy, the chief stew doesn’t seem to remember much of the night before. She’s positively mortified when Gary breaks the news that, yes, their make out was, in fact, real. And of course he can’t resist teasing her as much as humanly possible about it for the rest of the day. I’m even surprised he refrained from bringing it up at the preference sheet meeting, where we learn the next primary is a Manhattan-based luxury real estate broker who’s bringing his family on vacation. However, the day isn’t all giggles and secondhand embarrassment. Tom gets a heartbreaking call from home that his best friend’s dad has fallen into a coma due to blood clots in his brain and is on life support.
The next morning it’s the start of charter number three. And poor Tom is still consumed with worry over what’s happening back home. He vows not to leave the boat, but still fills Captain Glenn Shephard in on the situation and warns that he may need some extra support and understanding. Luckily, Ashley‘s actually there to listen and provide a shoulder when he needs one. One thing the third stew is not there to, however, is take any more of Gabriela Barragan‘s lists. Every time the second stew asks Ashley to do something it gets under her skin. To the point that she even complains to Daisy, who has to tactfully remind her that the second is allowed to delegate tasks to the third. That’s the way it works, sweetie. Now stop whining.
The guests arrive and the boat sets sail — only metaphorically speaking; there’s no wind — for Punta Prima. However, Daisy‘s not the only one noticing the tension between her subordinates. Chef Marcos Spaziani warns her that the petty grievances could boil over into a major problem that could affect life on the boat for everyone. Both girls are even complaining to him in the galley when the other isn’t around. Daisy decides to address the building issues within her department after the charter is over. Because it’s definitely not going to get any worse over the next few days, right?
After anchoring, the crew throws a lightly 007-themed birthday dinner for the primary’s 75-year-old dad. And Captain Glenn‘s even on hand to join the guests for the meal. Hilariously, though, the primary’s younger brother is fully checked out at the table thanks to a long afternoon of getting wine drunk. He falls asleep before the entree is even served. And we’re talking Weekend at Bernie’s-level blackout. There’s no waking him up for the rest of the night. Not the entire table singing “Happy Birthday” to his dad. Not Gary, Tom and Colin Macrae delivering cake while shirtless to the flirtatious female cougar of the group. In fact, he’s still asleep after the rest of the family have finished their meals and gone below deck for the night. It takes his dad literally slapping him awake, with some help from Colin and Tom, to get him to his cabin for bed.
Day two of the charter starts with Captain Glenn trying something the guests didn’t get to experience the day before: sailing. But even after raising the main, mizzen and genoa, there’s no such luck. Because there’s just no wind. And without wind, you can’t really sail. It’s time to distract the guests with a beach picnic. Hopefully getting them to shore for a bit will give the necessary wind time to pick up. Or if not, then at least time for Captain Glenn to process the news that his first mate and chief stew have swapped saliva in the hot tub, which Gary is proud to tell him.
The focus of the guests’ picnic is apparently supposed to be badminton. They just want to smash some birdies, OK? So thinking it will be simple, Daisy sends Ashley and Kelsie Goglia ashore to set up. However, what Tom conquered last charter by erecting the gazebo singlehandedly — not to mention decorating it with palm fronds — the girls can’t seem to do together. Set-up is slow. The tent is confusing. And by the time Gabriela and Gary arrive on the beach with the guests in tow, they’re nowhere near ready. To be frank, the entire picnic set-up looks like a complete mess.
Naturally, Gabriela is mortified at the scene the guests are walking into. And wastes no time blaming Ashley for the disorganized disarray. It ultimately takes all four crew members — Gary, Gabriela, Ashley and Kelsie — to get the gazebo successfully up. All while the stare at them aimlessly in the heat of the Menorcan sunshine. The picnic is not off to a great start. But Gabriela turns on the charm, successfully distracting the guests with badminton and putting on a smile to laugh off the major blunder. On the inside, though, she’s surely fuming and can’t wait to report back to Daisy what a terrible job Ashley did.
That afternoon, there’s still no wind. Which means still no sailing. Though Captain Glenn lets one of the guests steer the yacht to make up for not being able to control Mother Nature. Chef Marcos also pulls out all the stops for a flamenco-themed dinner filled with traditional Spanish cuisine. Which equals lots of local seafood, shellfish and a truly incredible-looking paella as the piece de resistance. So even though there’s been absolutely no sailing on their vacation aboard a luxury sailboat, the guests still go to bed happy. Little do they know disaster’s about to strike…
Tom covers the anchor watch all night. And with the sea so still, there’s honestly not much to do. He kills time during the late shift by cleaning, emptying the garbage and sitting, staring out into the night. By early morning, nothing’s happened. And when Ashley arises to start her early shift, the lovebirds of convenience steal a kiss in the wheelhouse.
Then, the wind that’s been missing all charter decides to come roaring back with a vengeance. Within a span of just thirty minutes, it goes from blowing at a leisurely eight knots to 31, setting off alarms and waking the crew to an emergency in the making. As Gary runs shirtless up the stairs, he shouts at Colin to get the boat’s engine started. Only then does Tom realize Parsifal is dragging anchor, and amid the chaos, he shouts that the boat could be on the verge of running aground…
TELL US – DO YOU SEE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN GARY AND DAISY? WHO’S TO BLAME FOR THE TENSION BETWEEN GABRIELA AND ASHLEY? SHOULD SETTING UP THE BEACH PICNIC HAVE BEEN THAT DIFFICULT FOR ASHLEY AND KELSIE? WILL THE YACHT RUN AGROUND NEXT WEEK?

How does one say "put up or shut up" nicely? That's what Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Daisy Kelliher is seemingly trying to figure out as Ashley Marti continuously...Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee seemed thirsty for the villain role on Season 2 of Love is Blind, and congrats to him for achieving his dreams, I guess. Shake was known behind the scenes for “Most Skilled At Making Women Cry” during the pod phase on the famous Netflix dating show. Something he and his eventual fiancé, Deepti Vempati had to overcome early in their relationship. A red flag so glaring you could see it through two walls. Bleak.
It was clear throughout the Love is Blind episodes that Deepti is a kind soul who only deserves the best. It’s just about all anyone could say about her, too. Including Shake’s own parents. This man really should apologize to his family for being in his family. Not only could he keep his misogynistic fat-phobic mouth shut about Deepti during the final reunion episode, but he had to drag the hostess, Vanessa Lachey into his slimy path too.
During the reunion Shake told Vanessa that she was the only person in the room he was physically attracted to. Vanessa’s husband, none other than Nick Lachey had some thoughts on that. He reminded Shake that, as a veterinarian, she should focus on treating animals, not act like them. He literally reminded the failed dater, “We’re human beings.”
Following the awkward moment, Shake took to Instagram to @ Nick. Page Six reported that Shake went deep into the archive in an attempt to put Nick on blast for his treatment of Jessica Simpson during their early 2000’s marriage. Back when they filmed the iconic Newlyweds.
Shake called Nick “sad” and then told viewers of his post to turn the “sound on” so they could hear Nick’s conversation with Jessica about opening a car door.
In the clip Jessica is getting into her car in a parking lot and she asks her then-husband, Nick, “You don’t wanna open the door for me?” Nick replies “No,” to her curtly before Jessica added, “At the beginning of our marriage, you were so eager to open the door for me.” Nick shot back, “That’s because at the beginning of our marriage I got laid.”
Not a great look, but is it worse than telling the world you want to put babies in someone who reminds you of your aunt?
TELL US – DOES SHAKE HAVE ANY RIGHT TO DRAG NICK FOR 20-YEAR-OLD FOOTAGE FROM HIS PREVIOUS MARRIAGE? WILL SHAKE GO DOWN IN HISTORY OR BE FORGOTTEN TOMORROW?

I’m starting to think that the longstanding feud between Teresa Giudice and brother Joe Gorga will never end. Have I been so naive to think there was ever a chance? It feels so obvious now. And don’t even get me started on Tre and Melissa Gorga. Those two have never liked each other and never will. But the relationship with Real Housewives of New Jersey’s first family is full of a slow simmer of resentment of spending years together on television. And it doesn’t look like it will be over anytime soon.
After a recent blow up at castmate Jennifer Aydin’s house, Teresa’s loyalty to Joe was once again called into question. Jennifer, who has been feuding with Melissa both on and off screen for awhile now, refused to take back calling the Gorgas crooks. And called Joe a “little b**ch.” Tre sat idly by while Melissa jumped up and charged Jennifer to defend her husband. Melissa and Joe got kicked out and Teresa seemed confused as to what the big fuss was. Loyalty to the family, that’s what!
As reported by Reality Blurb, Joe is once again stuck wondering why Teresa won’t stand up for him. On a recent appearance on RHONJ: After Show, Joe sounded off on the fight that is threatening his relationship with his sister.
Joe said, “I always have her back. It’s never reciprocated. If that was me and let’s say Margaret [Josephs] threw my sister out of the house… I would’ve never heard the end of it. My nieces would probably say nasty things about me. My sister would constantly remind me, over and over, ‘You didn’t stick up for me. You didn’t leave. You should’ve left the house. How dare you stay there when she kicked me out?’ I would’ve heard it a thousand different times.”
Joe also added that Tre would never let Jennifer get away with speaking like that to anyone else in their family. He explained, “If Jen called my father a crook, would my sister talk to her? Think about that. If she called my mom a crook, I wonder how she would react. If she said something about her daughters….”
He added, “When it comes to me, it’s like, with the entire family, for some reason, I’m the dishrag. They can sh*t on me, sh*t on me, if I say one thing, oh, it’s the end of the world. I feel sorry for myself, I really do, in so many ways.”
When it came to Melissa and Jennifer’s social media war, Joe has a theory on why Teresa didn’t take up for Melissa. He thinks Tre just loves the attention she gets from Jennifer. He claimed, “Teresa likes attention and Jen kisses her a**. And because maybe she kisses her a– so much, my sister looks the other way. But Teresa knows who she is. And she already proved it to me that she was telling me, ‘No, I chose her over you,’ in so many words.”
For her part, Melissa seems way less surprised. She knows Teresa demands loyalty from them but doesn’t return the favor. Melissa began, “We have to be soldiers and we get told every little minute, of like, ‘You better stick up for…’ I get the text, ‘You better do the right thing.’ But then as soon as her friend does it, not much gets said.”
Melissa went on, “We are very loyal and we are the ones who don’t talk about it all the time but we actually do it. I think there’s a big difference in saying, ‘I love my family. I’m loyal to my family’ … and actually being the one who does something about it.”
Melissa noted that there is “always a double standard” with Teresa, despite her brother “always acts in the right direction” and “backs her up.” But as for whether or not Tre would actually go through with dropping Jennifer for her family, Melissa doesn’t have an answer for that.
She speculated, “I feel like she was in a little bit of a desperate mode at that point. When Teresa cries and breaks down, she’s definitely in a spot where she’s confused and like lost. So she might have. But that’s just not who we are.” Melissa concluded, “We’re not going to tell someone not to be friends with someone.”
TELL US – DO YOU AGREE THAT THERE IS A DOUBLE STANDARD WITH TRE AND HER LOYALTY? SHOULD SHE HAVE STUCK UP FOR JOE AND MELISSA? WHY DO YOU THINK TRE IS SO ATTACHED TO JENNIFER?

The fight between Larsa Pippen and Adriana de Moura has officially spilled over onto social media. They went at it all season on Real Housewives of Miami. And the two don’t seem to be making amends anytime soon. Despite the tepid hug we saw at the reunion. Now Adriana’s bestie, Julia Lemigova, is getting involved to defend her friend.
Larsa showed some serious restraint in handling Adriana. With the exception of Alexia Echevarria’s bachelorette dinner. That dinner was off the rails and highly entertaining. But now that the season is done, Larsa has some choice words about Adriana on an episode of Behind The Velvet Rope With David Yontef. Larsa said of her nemesis, “Like I think she’s gotten, you know, some people as they age, they get bitter and mean? I feel like she has gotten bitter and mean. Like a grumpy old man, you know?”
A transcript of some of that interview made its way to The Real Housewives Of Miami’s official IG page. That’s when Julia entered the chat. In a screenshot captured by Comments By Bravo on Instagram, Julia commented, “I think she is projecting!” Then she tagged Larsa’s handle. Larsa was quick to shoot back and said, “stay out of it you weirdo no one asked u.” Short but effective, I guess! Someone else was creeping in those comments that were captured – Alexia’s son, Peter Rosello. He commented a simple, “You Know.” Which I guess means he is Team Larsa?
Either way, the fan comments on the post were split. One user said, “Larsa should not be so quick to point out the flaws in other people’s lives when she is not willing to look at the flaws in her own.” Another defended her and said, “Larsa is the breakout star of RHOM, you can’t tell me anything else.”
It’s not a complete surprise that Julia is upping her game on Larsa. During one of her confessionals on RHOM, Larsa said, “I just feel like Julia’s a follower, and she’s just saying whatever Adriana’s put her up to.” Julia shot back in an interview with Bravo’s The Daily Dish.
Julia revealed, “As we were filming now, my confidence grew, and I needed to really see for myself how Larsa is if she’s kind of a true person or sometimes maybe not so much.” She added, “You know, you can have some friends in your life who are like fair-weather friends, and I just felt that I had enough of some kind of hypocritical interactions with her.”
Whew. So after a drama filled season, we are getting even more drama from this group. These RHOM ladies really know how to give the people what they want. Keep it coming!
TELL US – DO YOU AGREE WITH JULIA THAT LARSA IS PROJECTING? SHOULD LARSA HAVE CALLED HER A WEIRDO? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF LARSA?
