Bethenny Frankel ReWives, The BravoVerse Reacts, Mauricio Buys BH, Kim Zolciak Forecloses & Randall Emmett Gets Sued Nov 11, 2022

Show notes

It is official. Bethenny Frankel has returned to Real Housewives in the form of her new “ReWives” Podcast. We break down what we think are the real reasons why Bethenny has chosen to “rewife”, what we can really expect from Bethenny once the Pod launches, the BravoVerse and other Housewives’ viral reactions to Bethenny’s announcement - Luann de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, the many behind the scenes texts, calls and DM’s we received from our many Bravoleb friends and the larger meaning of Bethenny’s ReWive, if any, and whether this means she wants to, is ready to and will return to Real Housewives in some way shape or form as we know it. Did someone say Legacy? In other news, Kim Zolciak says do not believe those foreclosure rumors, we divulge all we know, and its a lot, about the new upcoming season of RHONJ, share info about Maurico Umansky’s new show, “Buying Beverly Hills” and finally share a recent story about a little run in with Mr. Randall Emmett!

RHOBH Pause - What Caused It, What It Really Means, Affected Cast Members & Likelihood of Past Diamond Holders Returning Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

The RHOBH are STILL at it - slamming each other on social media, putting each other down in interviews and acting like their juggernaut of a show was not put on pause while the Powers That Be at Bravo try to figure out where to take this show when it seemingly begins production early next year. We break down what really caused the RHOBH pause, which cast members will likely be the most effected by it, and offer advice on what each should do between now and then to secure, save, and / or resurrect their diamonds next season. We address the recent rumors that LVP, Denise Richards and Brandi Glanville are heavily being considered to make a return, explain which, if any, are true and what next season will most likely look like. Finally, we share what each has been up to since the show wrapped and why, when we look back on the legacy of RHOBH many years from now, this past season will go down in history.

JERRY SPRINGER (on Real Housewives, The Kardashians, DWTS, Masked Singer & His Iconic Career) Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

Jerry Springer steps back Behind The Rope! One of the most Iconic names in Reality / Daytime TV is here to chat about it all. Jerry chats about the full anthology of his career which, of course, includes the groundbreaking Jerry Springer Show and all those trailblazing disputes, wig pulls, accusations, cheating rumors, paternity issues and everything else under the sun that laid the groundwork for The Real Housewives of every city which we have come to know and love today. Jerry recalls highlights, outrageous guests and some of the most shocking moments. We chat with Jerry about current day Reality TV and his role in helping create the landscape of Housewives, Fiancés That Last for 90 Days and Love that Comes After Being Locked Up and / or Happens on an Island. Jerry also opens up about the current offerings of Daytime TV - Ellen, The Drew Barrymore Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Wendy Williams, Sherri Shepherd - his favorites, not so favorites and how cancel culture has come to play a role in it all. We pay homage to some of Jerry’s other forays into television - a contestant on Dancing With the Stars, a judge on America’s Got Talent, playing himself on Roseanne and his recent short lived star turn as The Bettle on Fox’s super hit The Masked Singer. Jerry reflects back on a career most can only dream of discussing highs and lows, the biggest misconceptions of himself, and just what is next for the man who everyone just cannot seem to get enough of. Let’s all chant it together. Jerry, Jerry!!

KATHRYN EDWARDS (on Garcelle, Sutton, Dorit, Crystal & Diana's RHOBH Season, Who Will Return & Andy's Clear Favorites) Nov 07, 2022

Show notes

Now that the RHOBH reunion has come and gone, Kathryn Edwards is here to chat about the “other” cast members besides Rinna, Kathy Hilton, Kyle and Erika Jayne. Kathryn breaks down this past season for Garcelle, Sutton, Crystal, Dorit and last, but certainly not least, Diana Jenkins. We discuss home invasions, bots, “dark”, cat sweaters and where each goes now that the season has ended. Kathryn chats Andy Cohen’s clear favorites after watching the reunion, compares other Reality TV sister relationships to that of Kathy and Kyle - Melissa and Tre, Kim and Khloe, and just why everyone’s social media behavior, yes we are talking about more than just Lisa Rinna, seems to have not slowed down even though the season and reunion is a near distant memory.

KIM D. (on New Gorga Rumors, Juicy Joe's Return, RHOBH's Pause, Rinna's Beef with Andy, & RHOSLC) Nov 05, 2022

Show notes

What a week in RHONJ and RHOBH land it has been. First off, Kim D. comes in hot with scalding tea about Melissa and Joe Gorga. Kim shares info about old rumors swirling around The Gorgas which seem to have risen again over in Jerz land. Kim D., the gift that just keeps giving and, as usual, she leaves no stone unturned and no detailed unattended to. Even though RHOBH is over, our fav diamond holders do not seem to be letting go of this past season. Kim chats about Lisa Rinna’s recent social media behavior, her disagreement with Andy Cohen over envelopes, disappointment over Lois and whether the RHOBH pause til January is, in effect, because of her. Kim also breaks down Diana’s recent statement that she discovered the person behind the Bots, her reluctance to release the info, Garcelle’s lack of interest in anything Diana has to say and likelihood we, the public, will ever find out the truth behind the Bots. We discuss whether the new RHONJ release date of Dec has anything to do with RHOBH’s pause and finally remind people that, oh yea, there is a show airing called RHOSLC. All this plus an exclusive Juicy Joe update. What more could you ask for?

Gorga/Aydin Rumble Update, Ramona Singer's "Loser Legacy" Comment & The BravoCon Boy Who Says He Slept w/ Michael Darby Nov 04, 2022

Show notes

BravoCon and the Gorga / Aydin brawl was weeks ago but the fall out from this event is still occurring. We break down the ramifications for each side moving forward- rumored WWHL bans, RHONJ cast alliances and whose job in the Garden State is really on the line as we prepare for next season which is expected to drop in early February. In other news, the current RHOP season is chugging along, infidelity rumors, unnecessary edits and all. We make sense of our favs from the DMV and chat about off screen gossip which should come to light as the rest of the season plays out. Speaking of RHOP, we share an update on that now infamous boy who revealed he slept with Michael Darby at BravoCon. Who is he, what are his strange ties to past and current RHOC wives and what details have been learned that, perhaps, would have been better left to the imagination. Finally, we share an update on Ramona Singer and which wives are the best at "playing the game”!

RHOBH Next Season - Possible Denise Richards Return, Kathy Hilton's Interest & The Saga of Rinna! Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

Now that the RHOBH season has come to an end and we all try to remember what life was like prior, we look ahead to next season and deep dive what that is likely and possibly to look like. With rumors circling about a possible Denise Richards return, we analyze what that would entail, the likelihood it would actually occur and why that would be the best thing to happen to Lisa Rinna for her RHOBH future. Speaking of Denise Richards, we break down some of Lisa’s other, no shade, for lack of a better word, “roadkill” - Yolanda Hadid, Lisa Vanderpump and Kim Richards. In other future RHOBH news, we discuss whether the other women are jealous of Garcelle since she has a legitimate career in Hollywood, whether Kathy Hilton truly loves this experience more than she doth protest and whether Lisa Rinna’s social media behavior will slowly start to fade and / or become more positive now that the season has, whew, finally come to an end.

Introducing: High Low With EmRata Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

Hi, I’m EmRata, aka Emily Ratajkowski. Maybe you know me from my work as an actress or model, or maybe you’ve read my bestselling book, My Body. I’m interested in marrying everything high and low brow by talking pop culture and happenings that may seem frivolous in a way that raises big questions.

On this podcast, I’ll be talking everything from politics, philosophy, and feminism to sex, TikTok and relationships. Every Tuesday, I’ll host intimate conversations with special guests, including celebs, incredible authors, close friends, and people I admire. In the week’s second episode, I’ll talk about whatever’s happening in the world and what it’s making me think about, including anecdotes, personal opinions and, ideally, some thought provoking questions. Finally, you can subscribe to a third exclusive episode each week where you get to be part of the show. I’ll go through your comments and answer your DMs.

My hope is that this series will be a place where you can come to have fun and take part in thoughtful discourse.

High Low with EmRata is a Sony Music Entertainment, Somethin' Else, and Bitch Era Media production.
