In a hot mic moment on RHOM, Lenny admitted to a friend that “in a couple of months, I might be single, too.” I love a good hot mic revelation.
Finances are another flashpoint between Lisa and Lenny. Lisa was asking for spousal support. According to the court documents, Lisa makes a cool $30,000 per episode of RHOM. Lenny is reportedly claiming that Lisa makes enough cash to support herself.
The couple share two children. In court documents, Lisa stated that she tried to “buy diapers and food for their minor child,” but “the credit card declined.” Lisa also accused Lenny of failing to put money in her account for “several months.” This divorce is beyond messy.
Lisa’s co-star Alexia Echevarria weighed in on the couple’s divorce. Alexia told Page Six that she wasn’t surprised that Lenny cut off Lisa’s access to the credit cards. “That’s very expected,” Alexia explained. “That’s the move that all the men try to do. They try to cut off the woman. That’s a typical move.” It’s still cold.
Alexia continued, “Luckily for Lisa, she has her own money, and she works, and I know that she would never not buy diapers for her children or food or any of that. She can provide for her kids, “she added.
In Alexia’s view, “money is the root of all evil” in high-stakes divorces. “Since there’s money, this is what money does,” Alexia stated. “The schoolteacher and the fireman that are married and get divorced, none of this is happening in their lives — because there’s no money.” She added, “Well, not this kind of money.”
According to court filings, Lisa asked for Lenny’s tax returns for 2008 and 2009. “Women like to get back at men because they’re like, ‘You did this to me, now you’re going to pay for it,’” Alexia remarked. “That’s what it is. And the men like to keep their money so they can spend it with the next woman. So, it gets ugly, it gets nasty and that’s expected,” she added.
So, how is Lisa doing now during this divorce drama? “I’m very happy that Lisa’s been able to move forward in the sense that she’s accepted all of this and she’s focusing on her and her children and just moving forward because it’s over,” Alexia stated. She continued, “And why would you want to be married to a man like that anyways? You already saw his true colors.”
Alexia once considered Lenny her friend. “It really affected me because I had a friendship with Lisa and Lenny and a few months prior, we were in Aspen skiing together and having dinner,” Alexia stated. “I’m so disappointed in him, the way he handled [his split from Lisa].”
This split was a dumpster fire from the beginning. Now Lisa has a juicy story line about Lenny for the next few years.

Kim Kardashian is now selling her unique brand of home décor. The items are made of concrete. How cozy! But if you are in the market for an 8-pound garbage can, Kim’s your girl! It retails for only $129.
On November 28, 2022, Kim and her husband, Kanye West, finally settled their divorce. Kanye, or Ye, will share custody of their four kids: sons Saint West and Psalm West and daughters North West and Chicago West. Ye is responsible for 50% of the children’s educational expenses and their security expenses.
Ye will also be handing over $200,000 each month in child support. Hopefully, Ye will stop sharing his family’s private issues on social media.
Page Six reported that Kim has a unique way of her waking up her kids during the holidays. The children wake up to Christmas tunes performed by pianist Philip Cornish. He is not just a pianist. He’s a Grammy-winning pianist.
Kim shared a video in her Instagram Story. “It’s that time of year,” Kim stated. “@Philthekeys comes over every morning to wake my kids up by playing the piano while the mad morning rush is happening to calm their little souls and fill it with beautiful Christmas songs,” the Skims mogul added.
In the clip, the pianist played holiday tunes on an all-white piano near a twinkling Christmas tree while Kim’s kids could be heard in the background. Another short clip showed Psalm relaxing underneath a blanket and listening to the music.
I feel cheated. I have to listen to an alarm clock in the morning. As you may imagine, some social media users felt that Kim’s annual tradition was tone-deaf.
Celebrity blogger Amanda Hirsch posted a hilarious video of Kim’s pianist, followed by a woman banging on a kid’s keyboard on Instagram. And the opinions soon followed. “She’s so out of touch, it’s gross,” a user wrote in the comments. “And this is why she needs that 200k/month child support,” another wrote.
“I guess rich people don’t use spotify,” a follower commented. “Why do I feel like North doesn’t even like this and wakes up and makes a face or makes fun of it lol,” a fan said of Kim and Ye’s eldest daughter.
Other social media users felt that Kim was trying to “deflect” from the backlash against the fashion house Balenciaga. “Look over there…. I didn’t denounce deplorable behavior against children!” the follower wrote.
The New York Post reported that Balenciaga came under scrutiny after they launched an ad campaign featuring toddlers carrying BDSM teddy bears. Kim didn’t denounce the fashion house immediately.
“As a mother of four, I have been shaken by the disturbing images,” Kim tweeted. “The safety of children must be held with the highest regard and any attempts to normalize child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society — period.” Kim declined an offer to appear in Balenciaga’s 2023 campaign, per Page Six.
If Kim is being this extra before the holidays, I can’t imagine what her kids are going to receive for gifts.

Meredith Marks Weighs In On Whether Jen Shah Should Be At The Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City Season 3 Reunion
I have to admit, with Jen Shah’ssentencing date looming around the corner, I have been plugged in! I’m listening to all of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star’s prior interviews, rewatching the Hulu documentary about her, and listening to podcasts all about her case. I need to be prepared to jump into the conversations happening among Bravo fans regarding the drama of it all.
“[I hope] she has a chance to have a voice,” Meredith stated. “Look, she’s been a huge part of not just season 3 but this entire, you know, show, and for her to not have a chance to close all of that out?”
Meredith is absolutely right. Jen has been a focal part of this season and the entire series. There’d be no Seasons 2 or Season 3 if it weren’t for Jen and Miss Mary Cosby. They quite literally paved the way for the rest of the ladies to walk through and create subpar storylines. The real grande-dames of this series are Jen and Mary.
Meredith continued her statement by adding, “You know, obviously, as this season progresses and transpires, she’s hearing things she didn’t know about. That’s what happens to all of us. So for her to not have a chance to address that, to me, would be very sad,” Meredith said. And to be honest with you, I’m not too worried about Jen’s beef this year. I care more about what’s going on regarding her legal woes. Period.
At this point, we all know what comes next for Jen this season. Her sentencing will be huge, and although it won’t be filmed, you can be certain Bravo stars will talk about it. As they should.
We have no idea if Jen is returning to season four of RHOSLC.It’s likely that she won’t, but hey, I’m trying to be optimistic here for her sake. Although what Jen is being charged with is heinous and super upsetting, my heart does ache for her knowing she could potentially be locked away in prison for several years. Anyway, don’t forget Jen’s sentencing is scheduled for January 6th, 2023, at 2:30 p.m. ET.

"This is a first-hand account of Harry and Meghan's story, told with never before seen personal archive. All interviews were completed by August 2022." That is the title card that appears when you...
Maybe it’s because the cast of RHOM has been off the air for so long, but these ladies came back guns blazing and ready to show viewers that they belong in this franchise. Thanks to stars like Larsa Pippen for clocking in and putting in the work and Lisa Hochstein for showcasing her messy, messy divorce with her husband, Lenny Hochstein.
By now, you’ve all heard of the news surrounding the couple and their ongoing drama. It’s been intense. Like, very intense. However, for those who had watched Season 4, Lisa and Lenny’s divorce announcement really didn’t come as a shocker to anybody. At least for me. And then, Lenny got online and joked about the stresses of being a husband and boyfriend. Whew–that’s when I was really ready to see this all play out.
In a shocking hot mic moment from RHOM, per Page Six, Lenny could be heard telling his friend that “in a couple of months, I might be single, too.” After being pressed a little harder about their issues, Lenny said the couple’s problems were “the same stuff it’s always been.”
When speaking about Lisa and her mindset, Lenny gave specific details. “I do anything I want whenever I want, and you stay home and go to work and come back,” he said.
The heated scene ended with Lenny’s friend saying he didn’t want to see the pair get divorced. “I do,” Lenny responded.
Oof. Guys, this is just MESSY. I’m genuinely interested in seeing how the rest of this season of the Real Housewives of Miami plays out. Lisa’s divorce will undoubtedly be one of the season’s biggest storylines, with fans paying close attention to catch all the details before the divorce story starts to air. Either way, what I do know is that this is Lisa’s year. She’s taking it all.

Survivor 43 Episode 12 Recap: Major Blindside Sets Stage For Finale
Wow. That word is not only my reaction to tonight’s episode of Survivor, but it’s also all that the blindsided victim could manage to say after finding himself on the wrong side of the season’s biggest move.
Jesse and Cody were tight. So tight, that Cody never, ever saw it coming. If trust is the only form of currency that the players have out there in the game (as has been stated countless times throughout this season), then you could say that Cody’s entire portfolio was invested in the bank of Jesse. Sitting pretty with just six players left in the game, this power couple also had two Idols, and seemed like they were going to masterfully pave their path to the Final Three. That is, until Jesse made a legendary blindside. Not only one that sent a shell-shocked Cody to jury, but one that all but guarantees that Jesse will be this season’s Sole Survivor.
Did Gabler plant the seed for what Jesse ended up doing tonight? Gabler – the guy “hiding in plain sight,” and who is so invisible to the others that he has just a scarce chance at winning – did tell Jesse earlier in the episode that he was in Cody‘s shadow. That Jesse needed to carve out his own game or suffer the fate of a split jury who wouldn’t be able to differentiate between the moves made by Jesse, or that of his closest ally Cody, should the two be sitting in front of the final jury. Jesse has proved way smarter than that though, so while Gabler might have been on to something, I find it highly unlikely that that’s what ultimately persuaded Jesse to make this move. No, this assassin must have figured out at some point that he’d have to take out Cody, albeit for the same reasons laid out by Gabler.
This was undoubtedly one of the best moves of the season, and it creates a tragic end to Cody‘s Survivor story. I absolutely loved Cody, and wouldn’t be surprised if we see him play the game again. He was just an entertaining dude. But as great a social and strategic game that he played, he put way, way, way too much trust in Jesse. I can’t remember, in the history of Survivor, a player being completely OK with having someone else hang on to their Immunity Idol for nearly the entire game. Like, what the hell, for real? It’s an understood and accepted practice for a player to keep possession of their own Idols/Advantages…we’ve seen desperate players over the years hand over their Idols/Advantages as an act of building trust, but never have we seen someone so casually allow someone else to possess their most valued power in the game. It’s a testament to Jesse‘s social game that he was able to get Cody to trust him so blindly, but frankly, tonight’s blindside should have never happened had Cody even had a baseline awareness of what has up until this point been an understood norm. You just don’t do what Cody did, and I’m sure this decision will eat away at him for the rest of his life.
Jesse not only made a big move – skyrocketing him as the front-runner in the eyes of the jury and the audience – but he did so in a way that also managed to flush the Immunity Idol of his next big target, Karla. With mere seconds to react, how could Karla not play her Idol? Having herself cast her vote for Owen, the minute that Owen had Immunity, the outcome was a complete unknown. She had to play it, in her mind. And Jesse hedged his bets, correctly, that she would indeed spend her Idol.
The cherry on top is that even after all of the fireworks, Jesse STILL has one more Idol in his possession, one that nobody in the game knows he has. He can use it strategically to ensure who his next target is, or he can use it casually…but there is zero chance that he WON’T use it at the very next Tribal, when it’s the last chance to play any in-game advantages. This means that no matter what, Jesse will make Final Four, and that means that the only way that he can lost the game at this point is via the fire-making challenge. Because let’s face it, he wins the game in a landside should he sit next to any remaining combination of players. He has a shot to win Immunity at Final Four, but even if he loses and isn’t chosen to go to the finals by whomever does win, he still can earn his way there by making fire. So no matter how bad Karla, Cassidy, Gabler and/or Owen may want to get Jesse out of the game, this is his only scenario where he won’t be discussing his game with the jury from Final Three.
So it’s worth repeating: Wow.
Episode Take-Away: No question one of the best Tribals of the season, and I was simultaneously impressed by how dominant Jesse continues to be, while also feeling super-shattered that Cody was sent out the game. I just can’t believe what rationale he might have to explain why he would let Jesse hang on to his Idol, not just for this Tribal, but for the last several. It makes no sense and it’s maddening to see such an otherwise strong player make such a boneheaded judgment.
At this point in the season, I would usually go into detail as to each player’s chances of winning the game, but there’s never been a more clear-cut winner than Jesse Lopez. And as much as I like Jesse, I feel like his gameplay has set up what will be an anti-climactic Finale. Why? Well, odds are that if Jesse makes Final Three, that he will clearly win. Boooooring. But if Jesse does end up losing the fire-making challenge, it will somehow feel deeply disappointing. We would also end up with a winner that just wouldn’t feel satisfying. Owen? A very likable guy but a player who has had little control over his own game and has more often than not been on the wrong end of the vote. Karla would be great, but her gameplay the last few episodes would almost make it feel like she “backed-in” to the win, and wouldn’t be as satisfying as I might have imagined it would have felt a few weeks ago. Cassidy is also likable but it just doesn’t feel like she’s playing a winning game. And while I would personally love Gabler winning this season, it just doesn’t seem like he has any real chance in the eyes of the jury. So really, what other outcome can there be for this to have a fulfilling ending, other than seeing Jesse come out on top?
We will find out soon enough. Survivor 43 three-hour Finale is next Wednesday, and we’ll have a chance to see how Jesse closes out an absolutely stellar overall performance…or we’ll see how he manages to screw it up.

OG Bachelorette Trista Sutter Celebrates Her 50th Birthday With A "Dreamy" Tropical Celebration
The woman who started it all in Season 1 of The Bachelorette in 2003 has turned 50. Trista Rehn Sutter found the love of her life with firefighter and amateur poet Ryan Sutter. She married him that same year in a very pink, televised wedding. Trista celebrated the milestone event with her husband and a group of close friends on the tropical beaches of Curaçao.
“This birthday just means relaxation and decompressing and resetting,” Trista shared with People. “Plus, palm trees make me happy!”
While in the Caribbean, the group, which included fellow Bachelorette alum Kaitlyn Bristowe and her fiancé Jason Tartick, enjoyed snorkeling and diving.
“Ryan took a bath the other night just as the sun was setting,” said Trista, whose seaside bungalow came complete with a butler and private infinity pool. “It was the most gorgeous setting,” Trista remarked. “It’s just dreamy.”
For Trista‘s birthday party, the six couples all dressed in white and enjoyed a dinner of Chilean sea bass, surf and turf, and a tropical fruit platter. They dined under the stars, overlooking the ocean. Trista blowing out sparklers on her chocolate cake was the climax of the meal.
“Everything [was] just stunning,” said Trista. “I feel really blessed to be able to make these beautiful memories with the people I love.”
The relaxing getaway was also an opportunity for Trista to reflect on the past few years and all that they have to be thankful for as a family. “I have to remind myself that every day that we have on this planet can be taken away in a heartbeat,” she stated.
People reported that in 2017, Trista suffered a life-threatening seizure, the cause of which was never explained, while on vacation with her family in Croatia. Then in 2020, Ryan, a fit and active dad to their two teenage children, started feeling “really, really drained,” he recalled. “My body hurt, I had zero energy and even getting up from the couch seemed impossible. And then, it just started spiraling rapidly.” It was over a year before they finally got a diagnosis of Lyme Disease, per People. He’s still undergoing treatment to this day.
“I’ll be honest, I don’t like getting older,” Trista confessed. Who does? “I don’t like aging in the least bit, and the changes in my body and the creaks and all of it. But the alternative is not what I want!” Trista said. “I want to watch my kids grow up and grow old with Ryan,” she added.
“We have had struggles, but I’m happy that Ryan and I are happy and healthy,” Trista said. “I feel really lucky. It’s a good life, and I’m thankful for it.”
And she still looks pretty darn good in a bikini, especially for a 50-year-old woman.
Trista and Ryan have been through a lot together in their nearly 20 years as a couple. They set the bar pretty high for Bachelor Nation and have to be the record holders for longest relationship in the franchise. Happy birthday, Trista!
TELL US – ARE YOU A FAN OF TRISTA? ARE YOU PLEASANTLY SURPRISED THAT RYAN AND TRISTA ARE STILL GOING STRONG AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?
Let's face it: There's nothing quite like a candid snapshot. The 2022 People's Choice Awards aired on Dec. 6 and this ceremony was one for the books. The star-studded evening, which honored a slew...
After watching the blossoming of their romance on the 7th season of Bachelor in Paradise in 2021, fans may be hoping to see a TV wedding. But don’t hold your breath for bride-to-be Becca to “do the damn thing” with cameras rolling.
“I think right now we would probably say no to a TV wedding,” Becca recently told E! News. “At least the vows and the ceremony I would want to keep more intimate and have that just be between us and our families. The party, if that were to be on TV, I wouldn’t say no.”
After having so much of her life exposed on reality TV, especially the nasty filmed-as-it-was-happening breakup with Bachelor star and then-fiancé Arie Luyendyk Jr., can anybody really blame her for wanting to keep her special day private, for close friends and family only?
Following the brutally heartbreaking end of her engagement to Arie, Becca was given a second chance to find love when she took over the lead on Season 14 of The Bachelorette in 2018. She was the one offering the roses this time, and ended the season by getting engaged to medical sales rep Garrett Yrigoyen.
Garrett and Becca were engaged for two years, before splitting in 2020 over differences in their core values.
So while everything is still in the planning stage, Becca hasn’t entirely ruled out the possibility of a televised wedding. “I understand people have been with me since the beginning. They know me from The Bachelor, getting proposed to multiple times and not seeing that full story come together,” she explained. “I understand why people would want to maybe see that at some point. But if it happens, it happens. I’ve learned I can’t say no to anything, because when I say no, it always ends up happening,” Becca added.
The Minnesota native stated, “If it can be done tastefully and respectfully and true to who we are, maybe. I’m not saying yes. I’m not saying no.” I can see how letting ABC pay for everything would be tempting though. Weddings are expensive!
After Becca took things into her own hands and proposed to Thomas in May of this year, he followed suit with a proposal of his own — and another engagement ring — in October, cleverly staged at a pumpkin carving event. Becca joked at the time, “I never thought he’d actually propose after I just got done stabbing a pumpkin and had pumpkin guts under my fingernails!”
Now that they’ve begun actual wedding planning, the couple still needs to finalize some crucial details, like settling on a date and a location. “We initially wanted to do it around my dad’s birthday, just because it has such a special date,” Becca shared, as a way of honoring her late father. “We’re hoping October, but we want to keep it very small, very intimate so it would just be immediate family.” Becca continued, “We might elope. We would love to do it in Ojai, which is such a special place to us. But then we’re thinking maybe in January of 2024, we have a big party like ’20s-Gatsby-champagne-towers theme, where it’s more of just a celebration,” she added.
One thing attendees can expect is for the wedding to “not be traditional by any means.” Becca just wants everyone to have “a blast.”
“We’re going to have food trucks and games and a live swing band there,” Becca stated. “Most of my family and friends will be traveling [from] Minnesota, so I want it to be more of an experience for them, where they can celebrate all weekend and not just four hours of a ceremony and a sit-down meal. I just want everyone to mingle and have a good time. That’s what we’re aiming for.” She added, “I say that now, but we don’t have anything set.”
Sounds like it’s going to be a fun party, and I can’t help but hope we get to see Becca finally tie the knot, after all we’ve seen her go through. I find it hard to believe she would turn down the assist with the expense once she really gets into planning.
At any rate, I wish Becca and Thomas the best. Here’s to a happy life together!
