Morgan Brittany steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Katherine Wentworth in the flesh! Morgan is here to chat about the full anthology of her career and what it was like to be part of one of the most iconic TV shows of all time, Dallas. Morgan reminisces about being cast, the early days on set with co-stars such as Larry Hagman, Linda Gray, Patrick Duffy, Charlene Tilton, Ken Kercheval and Victoria Principal - to name a few, the highs and lows of Katherine, best and worst storylines for the character and how life changed as a result of Dallas. Morgan opens up about coming and going on Dallas throughout the years, the decision to bring Bobby Ewing back to life a la the “dream season” and what that meant for Katherine and Morgan - the actress, who shot JR and life after Dallas.

Denise Richards & Erika Jayne Slam Each Other Again, Denise’s Daughter’s Cry For Help & Kyle Richards Calls Paps on Herself Jan 09, 2024

Show notes

As Denise Richards and Erika Jayne continue to feud, Denise Richards’ daughter, Sami, takes to TikTox to chat about her mom, family and everything else she is disgruntled about in, of course, a now deleted post. No fear, we captured it and are here to share all our hot takes on that and everything RHOBH this week. Speaking of RHOBH, we address the new claims that Kyle Richards calls the paparazzi on herself and splits the profit with friend, girlfriend, buddy, pal Morgan Wade. As we head toward the Jan 30th premiere of Vanderpump Rules, we deep dive Jax Taylor’s return, his LVP confrontation and whether Jax and company can make Season Eleven as interesting as last season now that the Scandoval is dying down and Rachel Leviss has completely turned her back on the franchise. On RHUGT, we talk about the emergence of Kirsten Taekman - welcome to Housewives, the hilarity of the OGs and who will replace Ramona Singer if a season two is green lit once ratings are tallied and the epic RHONY girl’s trip returns. We have a few ideas and explain the top 3 most likely to happen.

BOB THE DRAG QUEEN (on Icons, Celebrity Status, Music & Drag) Jan 07, 2024

Show notes

Bob The Drag Queen is killing it on the Celebration Tour with Madonna which just started its US leg last month. We attended several nights in Brooklyn and as we head to our other home in LA to attend again, one thing is for certain, Bob means business. Bob has come a long way wince winning Drag Race in Season Eight. We figured today a perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with Bob The Drag Queen. We discuss the legendary New York City Drag Scene where Bob got his start (shout out to Barracuda Lounge) coming up the ranks alongside fellow NYC and RuPaul’s Drag Race legends Peppermint and Bianca Del Rio. Bob fills us in on how and why he decided to join Drag Race, what his season was like, fellow Season Eight Queens, RuPaul, and more. Bob also discusses Drag Race Guest Judges Nicole Richie, Gigi Hadid, Debbie Harry, Marc Jacobs and Vivica A. Fox. Bob opens up about what winning Drag Race meant and how life changed as a result thereafter. Sharing a stage with Madonna is a pretty good indication of life changing if we must say so ourselves so buckle up and get ready for the ride of your life as Bob mentions it all.

Monica Garcia’s RHOSLC Future After Finale, Kim Richards' Breakdown & Marysol’s Outrage (Thanks To Us) Jan 06, 2024

Show notes

Monica Garcia is Reality Von Tea(se). She is also Reality Von Tea(se) 2, 3 and every other iteration of the account that is, was and will be. Salt Lake’s very own Gossip Girl. We react to this shocking revelation and what will arguably go down in history as one of the best finale’s in Real Housewives history. We break just how Monica went from fan, to Jen Shah employee, to playing a role in Jen’s demise, to Bravo employee as a full time RHOSLC to the mastermind behind this troll account that because the mere definition of operating from the inside out. We share our hot takes on whether that will earn her an MVP Award in the Housewives Hall of Fame or whether she is about to receive her pink slip and headed to One Season Wonder status. In other news, we recap RHOBH - Denise holds her own, Kim Richards breaks down, Crystal opens up, Sutton dates and Garcelle confronts Dorit. Finally, we appear once again on RHOM and share BTS tea about what was really going on regarding the tension between Ana, Marysol and Alexia.

Show notes

As casting rumors for next season of RHOC continue to swirl, Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador are having another off again moment. We break down their current beef and share our hot takes on whether they are friends, frenemies or just two people who truly don’t like each other jockeying for the power position next season when RHOC resumes filming sometime, hopefully, soon. We talk about the likelihood Vicki will be back, and, if so, in what capacity. We share our thoughts on Alexis Bellino’s latest “relationship” with John Janssen - real vs fake, the likelihood Alexis will return to RHOC, and what a Shannon and Alexis season together could, and would look like. Finally, we break down this season of RHOP, why Nneka has fallen short, Juan Dixon’s lack of interest in any of it, and last, but certainly not least, Eminem vs. The Green Eyed Bandits themselves, Miss Gizelle Bryant and Miss Robyn Dixon, a feud we did not know we needed but are living the F for none the less.
