Show notes

Kelly Rutherford steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Kelly Rutherford. Kelly is here to chat about her epic career that has led to parts in two of the most iconic shows in TV history, Melrose Place and Gossip Girl. Kelly chats about playing Megan Lewis in Melrose Place - how she was cast, fav / least fav storylines, behind the scenes stories, working with Lisa Rinna, Heather Locklear, Alyssa Milano, Marcia Cross, and Darren Star, to name a few. Kelly also chats about playing Lily van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl - the hype surrounding GG which made household names out of all its stars, the epic love story of Lily and Rufus, the mystery surrounding Gossip Girl’s identity, UES NYC, working with Blake Lively, set visits by Ryan Reynolds, and guest appearances by one Tinsley Mortimer as well as Cyndi Lauper. Speaking of Real Housewives, we discuss RHOBH with Kelly - her former Melrose co-star Lisa Rinna’s transformation from playing Taylor McBride to, well, playing Lisa Rinna as well as if she would ever join RHONY as we hear they are casting. Thank you Kelly for your time and graciousness in taking a trip down memory lane regarding two of the most brilliant TV shows to ever exist!

COUNTESS LUANN DE LESSEPS (on The Future of RHONY!!, Recent Headlines, RHUGT & Cabaret)!!! Mar 28, 2022

Show notes

Third time is a charm. Countess Luann de Lesseps is back for a third time!! First things first, the Countess addresses the headlines made throughout the world this past week from her night out at The Townhouse Bar on New York City’s Upper East Side. Once we chat about the who, what, why, and everything else, we move on to RHUGT which just concluded on Bravo - who she grew closer to, Teresa at the start of her relationship with Luis, the drama, and of course, Ramona, Ramona, Ramona. We break down RHUGT-2 (Blue Stone Manor Edition), the advice she gave to fellow RHONYs Jill Zarin and Dorinda Medley, and what she thinks of other Bravo franchises like Jen Shah over in Salt Lake and Erika Jayne in Bev Hills, to name a few. Of course, the convo turns to RHONY Season 14 - in light of what was announced last week what do we expect the future to be and who from RHONY past seasons could potentially be involved. Finally, let us not forget, The Countess is back on tour with an epic several night run kicking off April 17th at her home away from home, 54 Below, before she hits the road for LA, Canada and much more. We mention it all!!

Bobby Boyd on (Josh Flagg, MDLA, Bravo, & More!!) Mar 25, 2022

Show notes

There has been so much written in the past week about Bobby Boyd and Josh Flagg’s Breakup. Apparently, Josh has a new boyfriend, Bobby’s name is on the title to Josh’s new $9M house and much more. Are there any signs in this chat we had with Bobby just a few mere months ago. There is a reference to separate beds. As you listen, can you spot any foreshadowing?

Million Dollar Listing’s Bobby Boyd steps Behind The Rope. Mr. Josh Flagg. However, there is much more to Bobby Boyd than his husband. Coming from humble beginnings, Bobby became a male model at the young age of 14 in order to help pay for college. Even though Bobby had early success as a fashion model woking for major designers such as Versace and Calvin Klein, he set his sights on something else when he arrived in Los Angeles, Real Estate. Having a keen eye for style, architecture, design and a “personable” rather than “transactional” approach, Bobby’s first home sale was that of a $6.5 million dollar property, not bad, and a new career was born. Bobby then met a man who shared his interests and profession who happened to, not only be one of LA’s top real estate agents, but also one of the long standing members of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles. Bobby chats about meeting Josh, their instant chemistry and connection, his position working with Josh at Rodeo Realty, a flash mob proposal in Paris and wedding at The Beverly Hills Hotel, both of which were filmed by Bravo. Bobby chats about that, Josh’s sometime over the top extravagant style, and what working with his spouse every day is like. When not busy with MDL-LA, Bobby can be seen on his very own Lifestyle You Tube Channel, “Bobby Boyd Living” or selling his brand new aprons which are stylish, edgy and fun (no really check out his on line store). Finally, Bobby also discusses MDLLA - how does his style differ from Josh’s, the Brtits, Altman, Tracy Tutor and Fredrik Eklund, the conflicts, those over the top open houses, celeb clients and last, but not least, when we can expect and what we can expect from the upcoming MDLLA Season Thirteen.

Eboni K. Williams (on RHONY's "Upcoming" Season 14, Castmate "Run Ins", Misconceptions, WWHL & "Beyond The Edge") - II Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

Eboni K. Williams steps back Behind The Rope. Eboni is here to chat about what she has been up to since we last saw her on our TV screens during RHONY’s infamous Season Thirteen. We break down all the rumors - former cast mates “walking out” of parties, who she still speaks to on a regular basis from RHONY, the public’s outcry and misconceptions that stem from her last season appearance. Of course, the convo quickly turns to the present, the future of RHONY - who will be back for Season Fourteen from last season, who will be back from RHONY past, what she has heard from Bravo regarding next season and when we, as viewers, can expect the official cast announcement to be released. Let’s face it, that’s what y’all wanna talk about. In other news, we chat Eboni’s current WWHL appearance and return to TV on “Beyond The Edge” or, as we like to call it, “Celebrity Survivor”!
