Paris Hilton - A Deep Dive (The Simple Life, Kathy, Aunt Kyle & Kim, RHOBH, Nicole Richie, & Kim Kardashian) II Feb 09, 2025

Show notes

"This is Paris” Director Alexandra Dean steps back Behind The Rope. Alexandra is here to discuss the brilliant film that is “This Is Paris”. Alexandra discusses what it is like to get a call from Paris’ team, what the interview process was like, and how does one dress when meeting Paris Hilton for the first time. We deep dive into the juggernaut that is Paris - The Sex Tape, The Simple Life, The music, "American Meme", The Voice, "That’s Hot", The perfume, The products, International DJ, Paris’ “Little Hiltons”, Worldwide Domination, the Hilton name and family. Speaking of family, we talk Kathy Hilton, Aunt’s Kyle and Kim Richards, RHOBH, Nicole Richie and Nicky Hilton. We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat about all this Paris Hilton. Alexandra discusses Paris, “the character”, versus Paris, the woman behind the character. Finally, Alexandra discussed the transformation she saw in Paris from the time the film started to the time it ended and how, after all is said and done, Paris became a changed woman as a result of this film and all the demons she faced head on to conquer. Part II starts now.

Dorit Ready For War w/ PK, PK "Threatens" Dorit & Attorney Erika Jayne Wins Award For Common Sense Feb 08, 2025

Show notes

Dorit and PK’s divorce is front and center on this past weeks RHOBH. If Dorit has to go to war, she will go to war. Flashbacks that include Lisa Vanderpump, nasty texts and so much more. One thing is for certain, this marriage is dunzo. Dunzo but no one, least of all Dorit, seems to realize that except Attorney Jayne who some call Erika. Erika Jayne, the MVP of this episode, lets Dorit know to get a lawyer immediately, Boz doubles that and Kathy Hilton looks unaware of these real world problems and thankful she has Rick. In other news, Sutton’s Mom is not here for Garcelle, Kyle shoots guns and cries, Sutton learns she has a weird kid and so very much more in this epic, Dorit it is time to get real, episode. Reality just got real.

Show notes

Tamra and Teddi - in between her new life as a “single” woman - slam Sutton, praise Kyle and call out the rest of the RHOBH cast on many problems they each have with this season of the show. Karen Huger prepares to be sentenced for her guilty DUI verdict later this month, Mia Thornton annoys Andy Cohen, Gizelle feuds with Pastor Bryant’s new love and Pastor Bryant’s new woman shades the F outta Giz back. Seems like someone is ready for her RHOP close up. Taylor Swift distances herself from Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds receives more blame and all parties make moves as a trial date of March, 2026 moves closer with no chance of settlement in sight. All this and more from the BravoVerse as we recap all that has been happening with our fav BravoLebs over the past few days.

Show notes

Gretchen Rossi is returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County. We break down whether Gretchen returning is a good thing for her, whether Producers plan to do her dirty like they did Alexis, the expected epic showdown between Tamra and Gretchen and whether this will result in a one season "sorry we used you" Ms. Rossi or whether it will be the ultimate end of Miss Judge as an Orange Holder. In other news, Karen Huger checks out of rehab, fires her legal team, gets her sentence pushed back til later this month and looks ahead to a future which may or may not include RHOP and may or may not include actual jail time. Another new franchise is expected to start filming soon - The Real Housewives of Rhode Island and we share all that we know, who is being cast and what franchise this is expected to replace. RHONY cast changes are in motion, RHOSLC reunion comes to a close and we share a special message for Andy Cohen, Angie K and last, but not least, Meredith Marks.
