LeeAnne Locken Thinks RHOD Should Get a Reboot; Wants to Join a Season of RHUGT

Bravolebrity LeeAnne Locken thinks Bravo should give RHOD a second chance and reboot the franchise as they did with the Miami Housewives.

Real Housewives of Dallas alum LeeAnne Locken is opening up about why she believes the franchise failed and, more importantly, why Bravo should reboot the Dallas Housewives franchise.

“I think Dallas deserves having a presence in the universe because there’s no other show like it. They had a rodeo for a TV show, and they rode the bull out, so you got to keep the bull in the arena if you want to keep the show going,” she explained to The Messenger of RHOD.

“I think the biggest problem with Dallas was that we weren’t all really organic friends. I always just showed up and did the job. If Andy wants to bring it back, I mean, he’s got my number. He can certainly reach out to me. I’m happy to help him again put the show back together. I’m too quick tongue to give up on reality” LeeAnne said.

Beyond the possibility of returning to Bravo with a reboot of RHOD, LeeAnne admits that she would like to star in a season of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.

“It would be a chance to actually be around Housewives that can keep up with me, and that would challenge me to go faster and further and harder and quicker… not to mention getting to know more girls,” LeeAnne said of the RHUGT. “It’d be great to sit around and hang out, get drunk and crazy – see how much hair we could let down.”

LeeAnne starred on RHOD from seasons 1 through 4 before exiting the show ahead of season 5. After season 5, Bravo put RHOD on an indefinite “pause,” much like they previously did with the Real Housewives of Miami.

However, Bravo rebooted RHOM in 2021 on their streaming app, Peacock. Seasons 4 and 5 of RHOM aired on Peacock with so much success that Bravo decided to bring the franchise back home to Bravo for season 6, which will air later this year.

Thoughts on this all? Would you like to see RHOD rebooted?

Lala Kent Hints at Pump Rules Exit As Reports Surface that Raquel Leviss’ is NOT Returning for Season 11

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Lala Kent hints that her time on Pump Rules may have run its course as new reports suggest that Raquel Leviss is NOT returning for season 11.

The Vanderpump Rules cast still seems to be reeling from the aftermath of Scandoval in very different ways as they film season 11 of the show.

In a new post, Lala Kent teases that she may be done with Vanderpump Rules altogether after this season.

The Give Them Lala podcast host recently posted a cryptic message about being “done with something.”

Lala wrote:

“Do you ever hit a point where it’s not that you need time or break, but you just know you’re done with something? I’m here. I think I’m done.”

This post from Lala has left Bravo fans scratching their heads.

“Done with what? The show? The anger? The hateful attitude?” one fan wrote

“Aww…Mistress is having a meltdown bc her victim act does not make her the center of attention. She will go nowhere until she finds her next trick to turn who will pay her bills,” a second fan commented.

“Let it be the show. Lala makes the show nauseating with her victim mentality and trying to rewrite her mistress ways,” a third fan quipped.

Another fan commented: “Let me guess, because Rachel’s not coming back production is making her the bad guy again this season.”

Speaking of Raquel Leviss, a new report reveals that the 28-year-old may also be done with Vanderpump Rules for good.

TMZ reports that the Vanderpump Rules cast is “confident” that Raquel is NOT returning to the show for season 11.

A source tells the gossip outlet that the Vanderpump Rules cast has been filming since June, and Raquel has yet to shoot a single scene for season 11 – either by herself or with any of the cast members.

At this point in time, it seems like it would be difficult for production to integrate Raquel into the season at this point in time.

Furthermore, Tom Sandoval is the only Pump Rules cast member who has been in contact with Raquel since the season 10 reunion.

However, the source notes that the Vanderpump Rules cast wouldn’t be surprised if Raquel popped up at the “11th hour to tell her side of the story about Scandoval.” But the source adds that the cast believes that Raquel’s therapist encouraged her to stay away from the show and drama after her stay at a mental health facility.

Vanderpump Rules returns to Bravo in 2024 for season 11.

Shannon Beador and Gina Kirschenhieter Get Into Petty Beef On Social Media

written by Lara Sophia

DRAMA! Shannon Beador and Gina Kirschenheiter get into petty back-and-forth drama on social media after wearing the same outfit on WWHL.

Some drama erupted between Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador and Gina Kirschenheiter on social media after Shannon’s appearance on Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

On Wednesday’s episode of WWHL, Shannon Beador rocked a black mini-skirt with lace trim. Turns out it was the very same skirt that Gina wore on WWHL a few weeks back.

Gina called out Shannon on Instagram for copying her look.

“Glad to see another happy customer shopping my LTK links!! Check out my LTK to see what Shannon will be wearing next! #imitationisthegreatestformofflattery,” Gina wrote alongside a side-by-side photo of her and Shannon’s looks.

Naturally, Shannon Beador caught wind of Gina’s post, which is when she clapped back with a post of her own on social media.

“@ginakirschenheiter, I’m not going to take it anymore. No one noticed you wearing that skirt on #WWHL… ? (including myself), but people noticed when I wore it. #59 #whoworeitbetter #imitationNOTimmatation,” Shannon wrote.

Bravo fans had quite a bit to say about Gina accusing Shannon of copying her look.

“She has one season of not-horrific hair and suddenly thinks she’s an influencer. God help us all,” one Bravo fan wrote.

A second fan shaded both Shannon and Gina for their immaturity, commenting: “This might be the most embarrassing ridiculous post ever. How old are you both? Seriously.”

“Gina, no one is looking to you for fashion, hair, or makeup tips. Let’s get real,” another fan commented.

Vicki Gunvalson then chimed in.

“Oh Gina, she didn’t shop your link – she went to Fashion Island, and the stylist at Alice & Olivia put this outfit together. It looked fabulous and has a totally different look than yours. Don’t be silly,” the OG of the OG commented.

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright Announce New Sports Bar

Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright are jumping into the bar business as they announce their plans to open a new sports bar in Los Angeles.

The Vanderpump Rules alums recently announced that they are following in Lisa Vanderpump‘s footsteps by opening their very own restaurant and bar.

After years of working in the restaurant business, Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright are opening a sports bar in Los Angeles. No longer will the former SUR staffers be serving crispy chicken or making Pumptinis. Instead, they will be running a family-friendly, neighborhood sports bar that will have a southern twist to it.

“It is going to be called Jax’s Studio City,” Jax Taylor announced on the Thursday, August 3 episode of his and Brittany Cartwright’s When Reality Hits podcast.

“We started construction on Monday, and I am really excited. We are finally going to have a neighborhood sports bar,” the 44-year-old explained.

He continued, “My wife is involved just as much as I am. We have 100 percent say in what is going on, and she is doing the decorating.”

While announcing his and Brittany’s plans to open a sports bar, Jax took the time to address his past comments that owning a bar is a “marriage killer.” Jax Taylor previously shaded his former best friends, Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz, after their respective relationships fell apart during the process of opening their bar Schwartz and Sandys.

“The difference between some other people that we know that did a bar without their significant others is that I am involving mine,” Jax quipped.

“It has freaked me out ever since this project came to be a possibility for us,” Brittany admitted. “It is called Jax’s, but it is mine too. And you are not going to be there 24/7. It is going to be kid-friendly during the day.”

Brittany went on to reveal that her grandmother’s signature dish will be a mainstay on their bar’s menu. On top of enjoying Mamaw’s Beer Cheese at the bar, patrons will also be able to take the dish home to enjoy whenever.

“What we are planning on doing is finally having Mamaw’s Beer Cheese on the menu so people can come and pick up their own little tub there. We couldn’t sell it here in California, but now that we have a kitchen, I am going to fly my Mamaw out and have her help with the menu so that it has a lot of southern charm,” Brittany shared.

Jax and Brittany are the latest Vanderpump Rules stars to enter the bar and restaurant business. Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz opened up their own bar, Schwartz and Sandys, in 2022 after going into business with Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd to open up the West Hollywood bar Tom Tom in 2018. Meanwhile, Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney are in the process of opening up their sandwich shop, Something About Her.

Vanderpump Rules is returning to Bravo for season 11 in 2024.

Southern Charm is returning this September for another season of shenanigans and drama.

Longtime cast members Craig Conover, Austen Kroll, Shep Rose, Madison LeCroy, Venita Aspen, Olivia  Flowers, Taylor Ann Green, and Leva Bonaparte are all set to return for season 9 of Southern Charm.

Some fresh faces will join them. Newcomers Jarrett Thomas, Rodrigo Reyes, and Rod Razavi will also be in the mix for season 9.

Fan-favorite Patricia Altschul and her son Whitney Sudler-Smith will also make an appearance or two this season, as well as Summer House star Paige Desorbo.

Much of the drama on season 9 of Southern Charm revolves around rumors that Austen hooked up with Shep’s ex-girlfriend, Taylor. Not only does this affect Austen and Taylor’s friendship, but it also complicates their relationships with Shep and Olivia. If you don’t remember, Olivia and Austen dated last season, while Shep and Taylor dated for two years before splitting in 2022.

While Austen teases that “something happened” between him and Taylor, the 28-year-old insists nothing happened between them when confronted about the rumors by Olivia.

“Did ya’ll hook up or anything?” Olivia asks.

Taylor promises that nothing happened: “Never, swear on my life.”

Things get even more complicated when the group finds out that Shep and Taylor woke up in the same bed after a night out.

Complicated relationship dynamics are the theme of the season, as Craig is dealing with his own relationship issues. Craig and Paige are on different pages when it comes to a timeline for getting engaged.

“I’m not trying to plan a wedding right now,” Paige tells Craig, who fires back, “Why would we date if we’re not going to take the next step?”

Meanwhile, Patricia reveals that one of the ladies in the group sent “nude photographs” to her son, Whitney.

Let's Discuss:

Reality Stars Declaring War on NBC/Bravo; Alleging Sexual & Mental Health Exploitation

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

Bravo better buckle up for war as reality stars are calling out the network for various alleged abuses.

TMZ has obtained a letter sent to NBC Universal and Bravo by legal representatives for several reality stars claiming they have been subjected to “grotesque and depraved mistreatment.”

The letter sent by attorneys Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos claims that current and past cast and crew members of its various reality TV shows have been tormented by the network during their employment.

Bravo Stars From Real Housewives

“As a result, the sordid and dark underbelly of NBC’s widely consumed reality TV universe has remained under wraps for far too long,” the letter reads. “Please be advised that the day of reckoning has arrived.”

The allegations include:

— Deliberate attempts to manufacture mental instability by plying cast members with alcohol while depriving them of food and sleep

— Denying mental health treatment to cast members displaying obvious and alarming signs of mental deterioration

— Exploiting minors for uncompensated and sometimes long-term appearances on NBC reality TV shows

— Distributing and/or condoning the distribution of non-consensual pornography

— Covering up acts of sexual violence

— Refusing to allow cast members the freedom to leave their shows, even under dire circumstances

For instance, the pornography reference mentions the “distribution of revenge porn”; however, no further details have been provided by the attorneys. The attorneys are requesting that NBC obtain internal information concerning several topics including “nonconsensual pornography in connection with cast members … [and] alleged sexual violence perpetrated by or against cast members …”

As Scandoval broke out back in March, the rumor mill claimed that a video of Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval masturbating via FaceTime was being sent around by the Vanderpump Rules cast. The allegation never aired during season ten of the show.

Lawyers also claim that NBC Universal and Bravo have “threatened [cast members] with ruin should they decide to speak out about their mistreatment.”

This letter comes just weeks after former Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel urged reality stars to unionize and join the the SAG-AFTRA strike.

“Hollywood is on strike. Entertainers are fighting for residuals, and no one will promote anything. Why isn’t reality TV on strike?” Bethenny declared on Instagram.

“I myself have generated millions and millions of dollars in advertising and online impressions being on reality TV and have never made a single residual,” she explained. “So, either I’m missing something or we’re getting screwed too.”

She went on to explain that while reality TV stars are often considered the “losers” of Hollywood they were the one who “provided all of the entertainment” to TV viewers during the yearlong Writers Guild of America strike in 2007.

“It’s complete and total bulls–t,” she added. “It just occurred to me, everyone is talking about actors and we don’t get paid s–t.”

Bravo’s Andy Cohen and Bethenny Frankel

Several Bravolebs have backed Bethenny’s urging for reality TV stars to unionize. Vicki Gunvalson, NeNe Leakes, and Lisa Rinna have all back up Bethenny’s game plan.

“Every @Sag/aftra [member] who is on a Bravo show should boycott Bravocon,” the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star wrote on her Instagram Stories last week.

“You want them to start to take you seriously and pay you the money you deserve? Then start a reality show union per Bethenny,” she concluded. “Time is now.” 

Vicki, on the other hand, commented on Bethenny’s post, writing, “Totally agree! We should be getting residuals for all the times they have used our footage. I got paid $0 season 1.”

As for NeNe, she shared her thoughts on social media.

Grab a Pumptini because more details about the much-anticipated Pump Rules spinoff show have emerged. Here’s everything you need to know.

After months and months of speculation, filming for the Pump Rules spinoff show has officially begun.

Now, The Messenger is revealing more details about the Pump Rules spinoff show, including the cast, filming details, and what Bravo fans can expect.

The upcoming Pump Rules spinoff show will focus on the lives of Kristen Doute, Jax Taylor, and Brittany Cartwright as they navigate their life post-SUR. The show will focus on various life events, including – marriage, pregnancy, kids, work, friendship, and more.

“It’s about their friend group today and the next stages of their lives navigating new relationships,” a source reveals. “It will also follow Kristen and her boyfriend, who co-host a podcast together. They want to try for a family and marriage, and it will show all that. Jax and Brittany also want more kids, and that will be shown.”

On top of Kristen, Jax, and Brittany, the Pump Rules spinoff will star Kristen’s boyfriend, Luke Broderick, as well as married real estate agents Michelle and Jesse Lally.

The show will also star former Miss USA Nia Sanchez and her husband, actor and former iCarly star Daniel Booko. The couple recently welcomed twins on Father’s Day weekend.

The cast will be rounded out with Janet and Jason Caperna and Bachelor Nation alum Jasmine Goode. Brittany’s best friend, Zack Wickham, will also be a cast member.

Current Vanderpump Rules stars Lala Kent and Scheana Shay will also be filming for the Pump Rules spinoff show.

During a recent Amazon Live,  Lala Kent admitted that it’s strange for the friend group to be filming two separate shows at the same time.

“It is so weird that they have a show, and they aren’t on our show,” she said. “As of now, we aren’t on their show. We are all best friends, and we should be filming a show together.”

However, Bravo fans can expect crossovers to happen with both shows over the course of the next eight weeks. Filming for season 11 of Vanderpump Rules is expected to wrap during the first week of September.

“Contracts are being worked out still on how that’ll happen,” the insider explained.

It seems that said crossovers have already started to happen. Lala, Scheana, and her husband, Brock Davis, were spotted filming with the Pump Rules spinoff cast during a part at Jax and Brittany’s house.

Meanwhile, Bravo and Cocktails reports that Jax was spotted filming with Tom Sandoval at Tom Tom earlier this week.

Erika Jayne reveals which co-star takes the crown and “stirs the pot the most” during season 13 of RHOBH.

Erika Jayne appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen this week, where she spilled a whole lot of tea about the upcoming season of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

During a game called Spoiler Superlatives, WWHL host Andy Cohen asked Erika Jayne a bunch of questions about season 13 of RHOBH.

“Who stirs the pot the most this season?” Andy asked, to which Erika replied, “Probably Sutton [Stracke].”

When it comes to “Who sheds the most tears?” and  “Who had the fiercest fashions?” Dorit Kemsley won those titles. Erika noted that she was glad to finally have a season of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills where she shed no tears.

On the other hand, Erika picked Kyle Richards when asked which Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member hosts the best parties.

Erika then quipped that she “probably” talked the most shit in confessional this season. As for “Who will have the most to answer to at the reunion?” Erika replied, “Not me, and I don’t care about the rest. I’m off the hook.”

Meanwhile, Erika also chatted about season 13 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills during an appearance on New York Live.

The Pretty Mess singer teased, “I had an easier time, but others did not. So, that’s okay.”

The Bravoleb then explained that the group didn’t agree to “play nice” going into season 13 despite dynamics getting very ugly during season 12 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“There are moments that you play nice, and there are moments that you don’t,” Erika explained of the dynamics on RHOBH. “That’s a Housewives show.”

Erika also dished on the newest member of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast, Annemarie Wiley.

“She’s confident and outspoken. And you like that [because] it is an indicator of a great Housewife,” Erika revealed of Annemarie.

Vicki Gunvalson Reveals Why She Banned Teddi Mellencamp From Attending the Tres Amigas Show

Vicki Gunvalson isn’t a fan of RHOBH alum Teddi Mellencamp, which is why she has banned her from attending the Tres Amigas Live Shows.

On Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Vicki Gunvalson spilled the tea on her ongoing beef with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp.

Andy Cohen asked Vicki Gunvalson a question from a fan that read: “Is it true you banned Teddi Mellencamp from attending the Tres Amigas Show?”

The OG of the OC didn’t deny the claim.

“Totally true,” Vicki Gunvalson admitted while nodding her head in agreement.

“I can’t stand her,” she quipped. “Just sayin’. I did [ban her].”

Oddly enough, it turns out Teddi wasn’t the only person banned from attending the Tres Amigas Show. Emily Simpson recently revealed that Shannon Beador banned her from attending the live event.

“I feel like right now, I’m good with everyone. I feel like I’m always good with people because I like to resolve things,” Emily told Decider. “But if I had to pick one person — I mean, I guess I would throw it at Shannon because, you know, they did that Tres Amigas show at the Irvine Spectrum, and I was not allowed to go.”

Anywho, the bad blood between Vick Gunvalson and Teddi Mellencamp goes back years at this point. It seems Vicki started the beef while promoting season two of the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in June 2022.

Vicki not only shaded Teddi but also her podcast, Two T’s in a Pod, with Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge.

“Something about her bugs me,” Vicki told Entertainment Tonight before referring to Tamra and Teddi’s podcast as “Two Twits” and “Two Ps in a Todd.”

Teddi clapped back at Vicki’s diss on Instagram.

“Jealous isn’t cute on anyone,” Teddi wrote, adding, “One would think you would be proud of your bestie.” She then accused Vicki of trying to get her fired from the Two T’s in a Pod podcast.

“Be sure to tune into Season 2 of #RHUGT tomorrow on @peacocktv! Starring my friend and @two.ts.inapod cohost @tamrajudge, I can only hope @vickigunvalson got paid in gas cards cause her love tank seems like it’s stuck on empty lately,” Teddi shared alongside a clip from Vicki’s interview with ET. “Hope this post doesn’t have her calling my @iheartradio boss to try and take my job again…? @bricesander.”

The drama between Vicki and Teddi has Tamra Judge caught in the middle. While appearing on WWHL in July 2022, Tamra admitted that it was “very awkward” to be friends with Teddi and Vicki amid their feud, adding that she wants “them to get along.”

Andy Cohen pointed out that it “must be hard for” Tamra to  “love two people who don’t love each other.”

Tamra agreed, noting, “There’s no reason for them not to like each other.”

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

Lisa Vanderpump’s Husband, Ken Todd, Sued for Almost $1 Million Over Closure of PUMP Restaurant

by Lara Sophia
written by Lara Sophia

More money, more problems! Lisa Vanderpump’s husband, Ken Todd, has been slapped with a lawsuit over the closure of their PUMP restaurant.

Radar Online reports that the property owner of Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd‘s now-closed West Hollywood restaurant, PUMP, has sued the British restauranteur for nearly a million dollars in damages.

According to court documents, “the company 8948 Santa Monica Partners sued PUMP LLC and Todd for breach of contract and promissory fraud and conversion.”

In the lawsuit 8948 Santa Monica Partners claims to be the owner of the West Hollywood property where PUMP was located. They explain that the defendants, Lisa and Ken Todd, leased the property in 2013 to create the third establishment in their West Hollywood bar and restaurant empire.

Initally, they agreed to pay $32,500 per month in rent. By 2020, the rent increased to around $42,500.

8948 also alleged that, per the lease agreement, Todd and Pump LLC agreed to transfer and convey the Liquor License to 8949 after the lease ended.

However, 8948 claims that Ken Todd lied and never had any intent of following the terms of the lease after it was terminated.

The lawsuit also notes that PUMP continued to occupy the property until July 13, 2023, “at which date Pump surrendered possession of the premises.”

Ken Todd, via Todd and Pump LLC, is also accused of failing to pay rent and other charges totaling  $250k. 8948 also alleges that Ken Todd failed to turn over the Liquor License to them after ending the lease.

Furthermore, the lawsuit alleges: “PUMP has removed from the Premises fixtures and property attached to the Premises (“Fixtures”) including without limitation a customized security gate (“Gate”).”

Per The Blast, 8948 has already secured a new tenant for the property but needs the liquor license in order to allow the restaurant to operate as a full-service bar and restaurant.

“Defendants’ and each of their failure and refusal to reassign, transfer and convey the Liquor License to 8948 will cause 8948 to suffer a loss of approximately $56,500 of base rent and other charges for each month that Defendants fail and refuse to reassign, transfer and convey the Liquor License to 8948. In addition, 8948 will suffer a loss of the value of the Liquor License itself with a current estimated fair market value of $150,000,” the lawsuit read.

The property owner of the Santa Monica Ave property demands “$750k in damages for the alleged breach of contract and another $200k for refusing to turn over the liquor license and taxing fixtures.”

“We are aggressively pursuing damages, and he will be held fully liable. Nothing this guy won’t do, including skipping out on rent, attempting to unlawfully remove mature trees on the property, stealing our liquor license and patio gates, and ripping chandeliers out of our ceilings. Half of their employees opted to stay with our new tenant for good reason,” the property owner tells Radar Online.

On Thursday, May 4, Lisa Vanderpump announced that PUMP would close its doors for good in July. The WeHo hotspot opened its doors in 2014 to rave reviews.

In a statement to PEOPLE, Lisa said:

“It’s with heavy hearts that we announce that the lease at Pump Restaurant is expiring, and we will be closing its doors on July 5th, after ten years of beautiful evenings under our olive trees.”

As for why PUMP is closing, Lisa blames that on an increase in rent.

“While we have loved our time operating Pump, to take on another 10-year lease with a huge increase in rent by the landlords is not something we are ready to commit to. After successfully running 37+ establishments for many years, this type of rent is untenable.”

The closure of PUMP has been filmed for season 11 of Vanderpump Rules, which is currently in production.

Vanderpump Rules is set to return to Bravo in 2024.
