Bethenny Frankel's Affect on Shannon Beador's RHOC Future, RHOSLC Recap & Our Night In Vegas w/ Erika Jayne To "Bet On Blonde" Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

As the days pass and more info is revealed about Shannon Beador’s DUI, Hit & Run and subsequent arrest, the more questions we have. Today we address subjects such as where Shannon really was the night of her crash, who was she really with, what was Archie doing in the car, who are her real friends in this time of need from RHOC and who is sucking up for clicks, is she really getting the treatment she needs and last, but certainly not least, will this affect her Bravo future. Can anyone say Bethenny Frankel three times really loud. Speaking of Bethenny, we share a status update on her Reality Reckoning, review and recap this week of RHOSLC and pay homage to Mary Cosby with a “Best Of” segment. Finally, we spill the tea on our night in Vegas this past week with Erika Jayne, reveal what she had to say about Rinna, Dorit and Kyle and for those thinking of purchasing tickets, recap and review “Bet On Blonde”.

Blow Out's Jonathan Antin - (on Andy Cohen, WWHL, Bravo Early Days, Tabatha Coffey, & Madonna) - II Sep 24, 2023

Show notes

Jonathan Anitn steps back Behind The Rope. Yes, that Jonathan Antin from the classic hit Bravo show, Blow Out. A blast from the past, here to tell it all. Does everyone know Patti Stanger has a new show coming to the CW? That got us thinking of Bravo of yesteryear and, as a result, today we share this chat we had during our first year with the one and only Jonathan Antin. We pick up right where we left off during our last sit down. Jonathan explains how he got hired as one of the lead judges on Bravo’s Shear Genius after Blow Out had ended. We discuss host Camila Alves and prior host Jaclyn Smith. We also discuss one of Shear Genius' contestants, Tabatha Coffey. Jonathan gives us his opinion of Tabatha, discusses whether he thinks she should have won her season, lets us know if her tough as nails persona is an act or real, and finally answers the question of whether she deserved her own show. Speaking of Bravolebrites, we discuss Jackie Warner’s appearance on Blow Out, what went wrong and the status of their relationship today. We also discuss all the other celebrities who appeared on Blow Out such as loyal clients Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin (they had other reality shows in the mix with Jonathan also - we discuss), Kristen Bell, Kate Bosworth, and, last but not least, sister Robin Antin, founder of The Pussycat Dolls. Jonathan tells some fun stories about his other Celeb clients, Courtney Love, Ricky Martin, Brad Pitt, Steven Tyler, Leo DiCaprio, Gwyneth Paltrow and, way to bury the lead, Queen Madonna (Lourdes in Tow)! We discuss the pressures from Bravo for Jonathan to involve his family in the show and how Blow Out came to an end shortly after his lack of a desire to do so. Finally, Jonathan opens up about the early days of Bravo, the origins of WWHL, his up and down relationship with Andy Cohen and what he thinks of how the network has evolved throughout the years.

Carl & Lindsay (What Really Happened), Tom Slams Raquel, Kyle & Morgan Vacay & PDA and Tom Girardi's Competency Sep 21, 2023

Show notes

What is going on in 2023? We have had more BravoVerse breakups this year than any other year that we cannot help but ask, what the F is going on. This will sure make for one interesting Bravo Con this November. Speaking of breakups, we analyze Carl and Lindsay’s competing official statements, break down what really happened between them and what we can expect to see revealed, as Craig Conover promises, next season on Summer House. Speaking of next season, we discuss what we will see revealed between Kyle and Mauricio next season on RHOBH, analyze Kyle’s French getaway with Morgan and urge Kyle and Morgan to officially announce this budding romance which also seems to be good for the press. Dancing With The Stars anyone? Finally, we deep dive Tom Girardi’s recent court hearing, explain why Erika is MIA, discuss Teddi Mellencamp’s involvement and analyze whether Tom is really competent or not.

Show notes

Mario Lopez steps Behind The Rope. One of the most beloved names in Pop Culture TV history is here to mention it all. Mario chats about his Iconic break out role as A.C. Slater in Saved By The Bell and what it is like all these decades later to still be tied to the role and show that started it all. Mario opens up about reprising that role in the SBTB Reboot, co-stars Elizabeth Berkley, Tiffani Thiessen and Mark-Paul Gosselaar and whether we are done with the show or can expect to see it back in some form in the future. Mario also chats DWTS, Reality TV, Pop Culture, his day job on Access Hollywood and all the mega celebs he has interviewed throughout the years. Finally Mario talks fatherhood, married life in Hollywood and much more. Thank you Mr. Lopez for, as we say, mentioning it all.

Show notes

With chairs being thrown, make ups, break ups and a stellar performance that is good as gold, we figured it time to break down all of the gossip that has surfaced from the Vanderpump Rules Season Eleven Finale and then some. What really happened? Let’s discuss. Moving on, we share an update on Carl & Lindsay’s break up, address the rumors of an “other woman” who was almost a baby mama and question the validity of all of this. Did someone say $candoval 2.0? Next we share an update on Bethenny’s “Reality Reckoning”, break down her next move and share which Bravolebs are not at all happy with Ms. Frankel these days. Also, seems like Jax Taylor got some recent bad news and things may never be the same again. Finally, we have a little chat with our co-host based on her tell all exposé on us and discuss where we go from here!
