It is Kathy Hilton’s world, we are all just living in it.

We discuss Tre’s ongoing feud with the Gorgas, Margaret’s recent claims about Luis and why this possibly could be the last season on RHONJ for Joe and Mel. In other RHONJ news, we share our hot takes on Jackie Goldschneider’s recent statement that Bethenny Frankel and “F*ck Off”, that she does not want to hear about her Skinny brand and analyze Bethenny’s response.

98 DEGREES, O-TOWN, RYAN CABRERA & ALL-4-ONE (on Boy Bands, Reality TV, Aaron Carter & Christmas) Dec 14, 2022

Show notes

It is a Boy Band Christmas here today Behind The Velvet Rope as 98 Degrees’ Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons Justin Jeffre, O-Town’s Erik-Michael Estrada, All For One’s Jamie Jones and Mr. Ryan Cabrera stop by to mention it all!! The Boy Bands are in the house! The guys chat about each of their respective careers, hits, highs and lows of the music biz and just what we can expect the rest of December as they continue to tour the county for their epic Boy Band Christmas extravaganza. On a personal note, we chat about 98 Degrees missing fellow band member Nick Lachey as he sits this one out in Hawaii with wife Vanessa, discuss Ryan Cabrera’s wedding earlier this year to WWE champ Alexa Bliss and break down whether Erik and the rest of O-Town would ever tour or record again with Ashley Parker Angel. With enough reality TV credits between them to fill programming on the entire Bravo network, we deep dive some of our favs - The Hills (sorry Ryan), DWTS (congrats on the Mirror Ball Drew), Making The Band (the show that started it all for Erik) and Love Is Blind, The Ultimatum and The Masked Singer (just because Nick is not here does not mean we cannot talk about him). On a serious note, we talk about the shocking loss of Aaron Carter a few weeks back and the benefit concert in his honor we can expect next month. Finally, we talk what new music we can expect from each, the brilliance of Harry Styles and how Justin Timberlake and a certain Spice Girl have an open invite to join them on this, or any future incarnation of A Boy Band Christmas.

Next we share our hot takes from our Brielle Biermann interview where she claims two Married BravoLeb men have been slipping into her DMs and will not leave her alone. Heading west, we discuss the recent crop of RHOBH gossip circulating - new cast mate feuds, make ups and just when we can expect this pause to finally end. Finally with RHOM back in our lives and on our small screens we discuss the upcoming season, OGs VS. Newbies and the dating life of one Miss Larsa Pippen.

The Truth Behind Erika's Earnings, RHOBH Pause, Ashley & Luke, Robyn Dixon Rant & Tinsley Joining RHONY Legacy Dec 08, 2022

Show notes

With all this many months talk about Erika Jayne’s now infamous earnings, we break down the recent claims that the earnings she returned are not, in fact, the 750K originals, how we got here, what now and does anyone even still care. In other RHOBH news, we chat the real meaning behind the RHOBH pause and when, in all reality, we can expect to see our fav diamond holders back behind the lense and filming. Back on the east coast, in Potomac to be exact, the internet has come for Robyn Dixon, Wendy Osefo is not taking it lying down and Ashley Darby seems to be enjoying her life post Michael with Luke Gulbranson just a little too much. Finally, last but certainly not least, we deep dive the possibility and likelihood that Tinsley Mortimer will be holding an apple once RHONY legacy is cast, address the rumors she is playing hard to get for a big payday and share hot takes on who would be a great fit for the potential sixth and / or seventh apple out of casts past once it is finally announced that Lu, Jill, Dorinda, Sonja and Kelly Bensimon will all be apple holders once the series debuts.
