Jeff Lewis' New Low, Kelly Dodd's Chances Of Jail Time, Tracy Tutor's RHOBH Reign & Kyle's New Life Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

Jeff Lewis has been feuding with Gage again, going though Chumps like they are nothing more than disposable pawns and even flushed LaKendra Tookes’ teeth down the toilet. Is that even legal? The State of California may not think so. Speaking of illegal, Kelly Dodd prepares for her next criminal court appearance later this month. Kelly says everything is fine but how is she really feeling and what is really going on behind closed doors between her and Rick as they prepare to face the District Attorney and answer for her charged crimes. Tracy Tutor prepares to take no prisoners as she is knee deep in RHOBH filming. Last, but not least, Kyle’s daughter Farrah is pregnant with a boy and reveals the baby daddy as Kyle prepares for many, many things which are expected to be new in her life. All this and more as Psychic Deborah Graham joins us to break it all down.

The Valley's New Cast, Liz McGraw's RHORI Return, RHONY Is Back, Leva Is Sued & RHUGT's Comedic Gold Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip has taught us many things none the least of which is that Vicki works too hard, Luann doesn’t know the difference between her pigs and that Gizelle can certainly produce and move a story along like no other. Now that this disastrous season of The Valley is over and casting is well underway for season four, ideas come forward on how to fix this could be great but so far from great VPR spinoff. Rumors, not nastiness, arise that Liz McGraw has officially returned to RHORI season two. Leva Bonparte, who has alienated all of her Southern Hospitality staff, has been sued by a former employee. Last, but not least, after a what feels like forever pause, the new season of RHONY has finally arrived. Sept 8th we see you.

Jeff Lewis Will Pay For Gage To STFU, Only Tamra Can Save RHOC & Whitney Rose Goes Insane & Acts Crazy Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

RHOC is way off the rails and not in a good way. Fans cry boring and the only one rumored to be able to save it is the one and only Miss Tamra Judge. Jeff Lewis is willing to pay some of Gage's lawyer fees to STFU. Whitney Rose loses her shiz, goes insane and is said to have broken a camera mans camera. Carl and Lindsay troll everyone. The Valley scraps the Jax talk. All sorts of dark info from the past resurfaces about Kim and Kroy’s son KJ. The Golden Life has a few problems. Siggy Flicker wins big. Perez Hilton can only see his kids if he is supervised. The Shards reigns supreme with another killer, no pun intended, episode. Last, but not least, the much anticipated new season of RHONY has finally arrived!

Bethenny's Ridiculously Inflated Income, RHOBH's New Season & The End Of Housewives As We Know It Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

RHOBH’s new season is well underway but rumors of newbies going has resurfaced. Tracy Tutor may be in but we cannot get over Morgan Stewart as a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills. Bethenny Frankel claims she makes more as a Supermodel, Influencer and cafe owner than she ever did at Skinnygirl despite its rumored sale for $120M. Madonna wins big with eleven - the most - VMS nods. Last, but not least, as new franchises form and old ones die a slow death, we wonder, can Real Housewives really go on forever?

Diana Jenkins & Hayden Panettiere, Bravo's Inaccurate Edits To Protect Certain Housewives & Perez Update Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

Diana Jenkins name has been brought back to the fore front of the conversation regarding Hayden Panettiere whose mother and ex have spoken out since her tragic passing with fans weighing in with some pretty shocking conspiracy theories that could not be predicted. Bravo’s editors strike again favoring certain housewives over others with key convos kept from the general public that should have been aired. Perez Hilton’s family speaks out with shocking updates, too much detail (for some) and a return to biz as usual for the gossip blogger’s website. Last, but not least, Law Roach says he has outgrown pettiness but lists the five designers Zendaya will never wear on the red carpet.
