Kelly Dodd’s New Feud, Kelly Bensimon’s Bethenny Tea, Vicki Gunvalson’s Cluelessness & Katie Maloney’s Half Truths Dec 13, 2024

Show notes

Kelly Dodd is rumored to have been banned from Instagram live for her feud with Andy Cohen’s radio partner which seems to be alive and still going strong all these weeks later. We break down Kelly’s recent comments, which have allegedly led to this ban, and, in the spirit of the holidays, offer up a most unexpected olive branch to Ms Dodd and Mr. Leventhal. No seriously, here we are. Bethenny Frankel and her new man Tom Villante get closer at Art Basel. Kelly Bensimon claims he tried to date her as well, Bethenny sends subliminal messages to her viewing public and Kelly claps back all while the newbie RHONY cast urge you to keep watching promising that the second half of the season will leave you speechless. Vicki Gunvalson has a hot mic moment with Nick Viall, Nick claps back and we analyze whether Vicki is just clueless, arrogant or smarter than us all at the game and knows exactly what she is doing. Meanwhile, Katie Maloney claims she was going to quit VPR prior to her termination, Erika Jayne seems to be having both a good and bad RHOBH season and Jennifer Tilly and Bozoma Saint John seem to be fitting right in with their fellow diamond holders.

As Kyle has become LVP and Dorit has become Kyle, we break down LVP’s comments about her recent run in with Kyle, why she is winning at life and why, despite any claims to the otherwise, LVP must be enjoying this more than she cares to admit. LVP also weighs in on the termination of VPR OG’s, Stassi’s role on Vanderpump Villa and shares updates on Schwartzy, James and Lala. In other news, Teresa slams Melissa Gorga on her new Sprinkle Cookie business, shades Kristin Chenoweth and thanks the Tre Stumps for trolling Cheno on social as we wonder, sarcastically, why RHONJ is still on pause.

Erika Jayne’s Cease & Desist, RHOC Casting News, Kenya & Nene’s RHOA Future & How To Fix Broken RHONY Dec 09, 2024

Show notes

Despite being caught in the middle of Dorit & Kyle’s season long feud, Erika Jayne is having one good year. RHOBH, despite lower ratings than normal, continues to be the ratings leader for Housewives in what is a new norm for Bravo and other cable nets. RHOC casting Season 19 is expected soon and many rumors surface about who is and is not returning to hold an orange next year when filming begins. Although Kenya Moore will be featured next season on RHOA, her Housewives future remains uncertain, Nene Leakes makes moves to return to the network and RHOA is expected to drop Q1 2025. RHONY promises a second half of season that will be better than the first, a cast trip that is rumored to leave you speechless and so much more as the cast apologizes for a lackluster first half of Season 15, Rebecca Minkoff chats pranks gone wrong and we, the audience, collectively weigh in on how to fix this broken franchise. All this and more as we are joined by the one and only Amir Yass, one half of the creative duo behind the brand new “The Vault” Podcast.!

Teddi Lives w/ Kyle, Jeff Lewis Slams Brynn Whitfield For “Pig” Comment & Kathy Hilton and Kelly Bensimon Weigh In Dec 08, 2024

Show notes

Teddi Mellencamp is living with Kyle Richards in her glam room amid her divorce from Edwin Arroyave. You can’t make this sh$t up, as Teddi explained to us. We break down this living situation, why it is beneficial for all parties involved - including Kyle, the on line rumors that Kyle and Teddi are more than friends and last, but certainly not least, the elephant in the attic of whether we will ultimately see Teddi back on RHOBH in some capacity as a result of all of this. Southern Charm has returned with a bang with Craig cleaning up his act in order to show Paige he is Dad and Husband material, Austen and Shep trying to figure out their next life moves, JT’s looming days of becoming unhinged and Madison LeCroy claiming that Craig has the biggest d$ck of all the guys, allegedly, so she has heard and much more. Brynn Whitfield calls Jeff Lewis a pig, Kathy Hilton gets involved, Jeff claps back and Kelly Bensimon weighs in with some words of advice for Brynn and the rest of her RHONY colleagues.

Backyard Envy’s James DeSantis Steps Behind The Rope. Backyard Envy, one of the classic Bravo shows gone but not forgotten. James talks this classic Bravo show where we followed him and his fellow Manscaper partners, and co-stars, Mel and Garrett as they beautify the back yards of the rich, famous and many of our fav fellow Bravolebrities and Housewives.

He talks working for and pitching a than coupled up Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix, Kristen Doute, Bobby Berk, Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell, Lady Gaga and Patricia Arquette. With all the talk about the return of Jeff Lewis’ Flipping Out 2.0, London Housewives and a possible Shahs of Sunset 2.0 which Reza hinted at recently, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat about this much missed Bravo show.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14, Episode 3. We have a cast trip ladies and gentlemen and it is being planned by the one and only Miss Kathy Hilton. Personalized suitcases, butlers and caviar galore, childhood nursery rhymes and one activated Dorit, this episode has it all. We break it all down discussing all the underlying reasons for Dorit and Kyle’s feud, check in with newbies Boz and rich af Tilly, Erika being caught in the middle and thrown under the bus all at the same time - fear not she has a brand new Porsche, Sutton and Garcelle feeling left out, a few mentions of the one and only Teddi Mellencamp - which yes, must have her over the moon and this explosive, fun ep ending with Dorit letting Kyle know that, no, it is time for her to F’ing listen. Off air, Jeff Lewis stirs the pot by dropping explosive Dorit gossip, PK and Dorit explain more details behind their separation, Kyle drops hints of new feuds, Kathy avoids tough questions from Andy and oh so much more in Bev Hills land. In other news, Jennifer Aydin acts out, announces a Podcast and Andy declares that we will know nothing about any potential RHONJ return for a very, very long time.
