Since Bravo started airing Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, different cast members across the franchise started to interact more. But of course, there were some girls who knew each other outside of producer intervention.
Teresa praised an “infinite connection” with Ashley
Ashley Darby and Real Housewives of New Jersey OG Teresa are one such pairing. They’ve been friends for years and have worked on events together as well. It’s clear that these gals just enjoy each other’s company in a very organic way.
Both parties met for dinner at the ABC Kitchen by Jean-Georges while on their own respective trips to New York.
Teresa took to her Instagram Stories to commemorate the evening with the newly-divorced Real Housewives of Potomac favorite.
“A beautiful night with my beautiful friend. Love you girl and thank you for always making me smile. Since I met you there was that infinite connection with you, keep on that journey of pure happiness. It looks great on you,” Teresa captioned the post.
Serving fashion
Of course, one has to mention the looks. Ashley opted for a pastel pink minidress with white knee-high boots. Teresa wore a darker shade of pink with a crop top and white latex pants.
“I had THE BEST time with you,” Ashley wrote in the comments.
Teresa responded with a kiss emoji and the words, “same here.”
This is a genuine friendship made in reality TV heaven. Teresa even invited Ashley to her 2022 wedding to Luis Ruelas.
Both the Real Housewives of New Jersey and the Real Housewives of Potomac are in between seasons. Potomac is rumored to return to Bravo before the year is out.

Wait, what? Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are getting a divorce?! Where have I been that I didn’t hear about this? I’m heartbroken for them. Not so heartbroken: Bethenny Frankel. She’s too busy bashing Joe for “spinning” the collapse of his and Sophie’s marriage. Why does this woman have so many opinions about so many people? Why does anybody care what she thinks?
Apparently, Bethenny imagines that Joe’s team “decided to kill or be killed.” On September 6, the Real Housewives of New York City alum claimed in a TikTok, “His PR team definitely said, ‘We’ve got to spin this thing. We’ve got to go and try to control the ocean.’”
Comparing the media whirlwind to the ocean, the Skinny Girl founder added, “It will just take you over like a big wave. You can’t try to mess around with the ocean.”
Bethenny believes that Joe’s attempts to place blame on Sophie by referencing her alleged partying and some supposedly incriminating ring camera footage are “backfiring” on him. Just days before the breakup, TMZ printed photos of the actress at a bar downing shots.
The NYT bestselling author warned, “Do not underestimate the intelligence and instincts of women. It sounds like a camp started camping too soon.”
Rumors surfaced over Labor Day weekend that the Game of Thrones actress and the Jonas Brothers frontman were breaking up. Two days later, the middle Jonas brother filed for divorce in Miami, calling his four-year marriage “irretrievably broken.” An unidentified source claimed the pair had “many disagreements” and that the divorce was a “last resort.” He and Sophie have two children together.
Kids on tour
The estranged couple’s two young daughters have been with their dad as he and his brothers travel for their Five Albums, One Night tour. Spotted in a restaurant on September 6, Joe enjoyed a meal out with his girls – without his wedding ring. Sophie is supposedly filming in the UK.
Fans are coming to Sophie’s defense, with one tweeting, “It’s wrong to shame a woman and try to paint her as a bad mother for simply having a career.”
Another added, “Seems like bare minimum that he should be watching the kids while she’s working.”
Joe and Sophie married in Las Vegas in May 2019. Their daughters are aged three and one.

Clear your calendars for October 12th. E! is about to bless us with some appointment TV, and the reality TV world may never be the same. The trailer just dropped for the new series, House of Villains, and it looks like being bad is finally about to pay off for a few of these reality stars.
Jax Taylor from Vanderpump Rules initially spilled the tea about this show in February 2023 when he confirmed they were filming. Rumors about the cast have been floating around ever since. Now that we’re seeing a sneak peek of the show, we’re getting more drama, more chaos, and more villains than we ever imagined — like Danielle Staub and Abby Lee Miller.
Here come the villains
The show’s premise revolves around reality TV’s worst villains trying to “outsmart, out-manipulate, and out-scheme” each other to take home a $200,000 prize. Some of the villains in the cast include Jax, Tiffany “New York” Pollard, and Jonny Fairplay. And, of course, since there’s a competition reality show with prize money on the line, Johnny Bananas from The Challenge is there, too.
The trailer teases a social competition with twists, turns, and some of the most random celebrity mashups you could ever imagine. For example, in one scene, New York eviscerates Omarosa Manigault using just a handful of four-letter words. It’s a meme in the making.
What is Abby Lee Miller doing here?
The House of Villains trailer teased a few “sinister surprises” in the form of other villains entering the house. In the clip, there’s a quick glimpse of Danielle from Real Housewives of New Jersey entering the house unexpectedly. The money laundering choreographer, Abby Lee Miller, also makes a random cameo. In the trailer, Bobby Lytes joked with Abby about how they both share a felony criminal record. Never in a million years would you expect to see these two sharing screen time together, but here we are.
Find out who’s the best of the worst when House of Villains premieres Thursday, October 12th at 10/9c on E!

The time has come to crown an All Star on Project Runway Season 20. There are three incredible designers battling it out in the finale: Bishme, Brittany, and Laurence. Each are tasked with putting $10,000 to good use, creating a collection of eight looks in eight days. So who was able to secure that $250,000 prize, along with all of the incredible stuff that comes with it? Here’s everything that happened in the Project Runway Season 20 finale…
Eight days, eight looks, and a little help

As mentioned, designers have to create eight looks in eight days. So, three of the eliminated All Stars from the season are returning to give them a helping hand: Prajjé, Fabio, and Kara Saun. They are paired up with Bishme, Brittany, and Laurence respectively.
Brittany is looking to create a “collection to embrace the activewear path … then activewear as evening wear.” Laurence, meanwhile, is “really playing with the masculine and feminine … my collection is a marriage of the two.” Finally, Bishme is “inspired by my process of grieving … how I’m feeling.” His late sister will be who plays a huge part in his collection’s design.

Christian has been an incredible mentor this season. It continues in the finale, as he gives some notes to the competitors. Well, two of them. With Bishme, he simply said he was impressed, and gave him a hug!
“What about even making a very classic, beautiful suit?” Christian suggested to Laurence. He also said she should sketch, so she would “have a better plan.”
As for Brittany? “It’s girly and cool and young and fun … maybe you need that one sophisticated thing.” She heard him, and promised to follow through.
As for the models casting? Lots of shrieking, and standout Mimi ate it up. She was the first pick, going to Brittany by random draw. The models this season have done an impeccable job. That didn’t end here.
Bishme’s feeling the pressure

As the days go by, Bishme is feeling down. Christian tells Prajjé to look after him, and Bishme later opens up. He’s not only dealing with the pressure of this competition, but he’s going through the grieving process. That’s not something easy to do in the middle of Project Runway. Especially when it comes to the finale.
Though his mind is playing tricks on him and telling him to quit, Prajjé pulls him away from the edge. “It’s like someone telling you great news and then pushing you off a cliff,” Bishme mused on the fifth night of creation.
Thankfully, by day seven, he’s back on track. A visitor from the CFDA arrives, and gives each of the finalists some insight. He says that Brittany is “ahead of a lot of designers,” as she knows exactly who her customer is. Bishme has “real range,” which is important when building a business. And Laurence is “very smart” to mix fabrics, rather than just sticking to her signature leather.
It’s showtime!

The day of the finale arrives, and it’s time to see some collections!
Brittany is up first. Her DNA is woven throughout each and every single look. You could have been shown this collection blind, and immediately come to the conclusion that Brittany created it. She is undoubtedly talented, creating some stunning looks with iconic fits. They’re thoroughly modern, and the final gown on Mimi is a true showstopper.
Next up is Bishme. His style is clear and classic. There’s a real range in his designs and fabric used, and the final “anxiety gown” is a moment that Project Runway fans will remember for a long time. Pride radiates off his mother in the crowd, and it’s easy to see why. This collection seems like the most cohesive of the three.
Finally, Laurence delivers “One Night In Paris.” Not the Paris Hilton tape, thankfully. I did laugh, though. This collection is distinctly Laurence. It’s edgy and demands attention. She proves the versatility of leather, while mixing it up with other fabrics at the same time.
Judges Nina Garcia, Elaine Welteroth, and guests Billy Porter and Zac Posen, are all very impressed. Sadly, Brandon Maxwell couldn’t make the finale.
Who won Project Runway Season 20?

Bishme Cromartie was named the winner of Project Runway Season 20.
After a fierce season packed full of some of the most talented All Stars the show has ever seen, Bishme brought it home, as his late sister had predicted. “The kid in me is extremely proud and excited as hell,” he said in interview. “All I had to do is believe,” he said, recalling his sister’s words.
Nina noted that “all of [the designers] have that superpower that will make them a phenomenal winner.” It’s true. Everybody killed it.
And that, guys, gals, and non-binary pals, is that! What an incredible season. I’ve loved every minute. Bishme is the perfect winner, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes him next. Until next time!

The rumor mill is pumping out whispers like nobody’s business with the new Dancing with the Stars paparazzi pictures out in the air. This time around, eyes have turned to Mauricio Umansky as the newest alleged member of the cast.
On its face, it would make some amount of sense. Mauricio and Kyle Richards made plenty of headlines this year when it came out that their marriage wasn’t doing quite as well as most people believed.
Even so, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple have remained all too amicable toward each other publicly. As far as rocky relationships go, this one was extremely tame. The couple made it clear that they were going to handle things with class. And for Mauricio? Perhaps he’d take out some energy on the dance floor.
Instagram user @thebravobabe zoomed in on one of the paparazzi photos to get a closer look at the bracelets on one contestant. The contestant had the customary visor and also covered their head with a scarf. However, their bracelets remained uncovered, and Bravo Babe pointed out how similar they looked to Mauricio’s bracelets in one of his selfies.
The post was captioned, “I spy with my little eye … Mauricio entering the dancing with the stars rehearsal?!” Moreover, in a comment on the post, Bravo Babe also said, “I just saw a photo of his scarf with his initials on it. It’s him for sure.” One commenter pointed out that would make him the second Bravo star and third reality star after Ariana Madix and Charity Lawson.
There was some speculation, however, that Kyle might be the one dancing, with Mauricio showing up to provide support. The counter-theory speculated that since Buying Beverly Hills Season 2 was on its way, Mauricio would make more sense. Of course, this is all still up in the air. We don’t even know if it truly was Mauricio in the picture.
Dancing with the Stars Season 32 airs on September 26 on ABC, and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13 is set to air in November.
