Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright Are Having a Baby...

It feels like Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright just announced they were expecting a baby but the 'Vanderpump Rules' stars have wasted no time doing a gender reveal. With co-stars, Lala Kent (who held her gender reveal last weekend) and Katie Maloney-Schwartz, in attendance, it was a big question mark as to what the sex would be. Former co-stars like Stassi Schroeder, who's expecting a baby girl, and Kristen Doute, also came out to see what the couple, who married in June 2019 would be bringing into the world. Would it be another girl? That's what Lala and Stassi predicted but in the end, Taylor, 41 and Cartwright, popped the popper to blue confetti and filled their pool with deep blue water. Yes, a baby boy Taylor, or Cauchi, will be joining the club in April 2021. So, if there was any question as to what the story line could possibly be for season nine of VR sans Doute and Schroeder, just add babies. Congrats to the couple!

Teddi Mellencamp GONE From 'RHOBH' Season 11!

It would be cool to see fan and co-star reactions but that's super hard when you turn all of your Instagram comments off. This is the case for 'RHOBH' cast mate, Teddi Mellencamp who just announced her departure from the series after three seasons. I really doubt anyone is all that shocked or sad (except for maybe her bestie and OG BH housewife, Kyle Richards Umanksy, who did post a photo of her and Mellencamp in her IG story) since she was considered boring and a pot stirrer with little to no personality. At this point, the accountability coach had turned off her Instagram comments, where she announced her contract for season 11 had not been renewed, due to straightforward questions and comments stemming from a long list of complaints from former (and some current) clients, claiming her AllIn dieting method was both dangerous but bordering on an eating disorder. 

In addition, Teddi, 39 and her coaches, who hold no clinical training but having gone through the program, have been accused of bullying their clients, situations that are still being uncovered by Influencer and activist, Emily Gellis Lande. She has devoted her Instagram story to the victims of both Teddi's accountability plan and Tanya Zuckerbrot's F-Factor Diet and the messages she receives everyday are more interesting than this whole season of 'RHOBH' alone. But back to Teddi. Here's what John Mellencamp's daughter had to say about not returning for another season:  “You heard it here last  Yes, it’s true, I am not coming back to #RHOBH. Thank you to @bravotv, @evolutionusa, @bravoandy and all of the amazing women for the support (and the shade) for the past three years. Back to the shadows I go.”

Teddi went on to share how it was not her choice to leave the series: "I recently found out that my contract as a Housewife is not being renewed. Of course, I could give you the standard response of ‘Oh, we both came to the decision that it would be best…’ Nah, I’m not gonna do that. That’s not who I am.”  After the complaints about her company started to mount, fans began to call on Bravo and Andy Cohen to do something about Teddi as her sticking around seemed unacceptable, especially after her husband, Edwin put Emily Lande's phone number in the public sphere as a punishment for exposing his wife. Mellencamp is not the only one who is saying "buh-bye" to the franchise this year; Denise Richards revealed she will not be returning after two seasons and it is now rumored Kyle's sister, Kathy Hilton may be coming on to join the ladies. Why? Is Nicky Hilton busy? This season was such a snoozefest, I say end it all or start from scratch. Will you miss Teddi? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter @3icecubes.

*Btw: Teddi likes to block anyone who questions her or likes Emily's posts so how is she being accountable again?

 

 

Another 'Vanderpump Rules' Baby On the Way- Jax and Brittany Expecting!

C'mon now- did anyone really think Jax Taylor would let ex, Stassi Schroeder and flirtation, Lala Kent have all the baby joy to themselves? Especially since he and Brittany Cartwright are the only other 'Vanderpump Rules' married couple, aside from Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney-Schwartz. Technically, the Schwartz's did not get legally married until after Jax and Brittany because Tom forgot to send in the marriage license...or maybe he lost it. We are not even sure if he and Katie's Vegas wedding counts but I digress. A short time ago, Taylor and Cartwright announced they are expecting, as well, via Instagram. 

With Jax, 41 cradling Brittany's prominent belly, she is holding up a long line of ultrasound photos with the caption: "Mom & Dad. The love of our lives is coming soon." People had questioned if the 31-year-old Kentucky native was expecting after she was photographed with Kristen Doute, over the summer, looking a tad more plump in the tummy but nothing was revealed. Brittany and Jax had spent some time in her home state as her mother had complications from a surgery that landed her in the ICU. They had returned home to California and had traveled with Lala Kent and Randall Emmett along with other former and current co-stars and were even present this weekend to celebrate Kent's gender reveal. 

Sadly, co-star Scheana Shay also found herself pregnant this year but suffered a miscarriage. However, she has undergone two rounds of egg freezing so we know she will join the mom club soon enough with boyfriend, Brock Davies.

We wish Jax and Brittany all the best and cannot wait to see what they are having, due April of next year!

Lala Kent Is Having A Baby...

Today was Lala Kent's gender reveal and in the midst of all the dangers these reveals are causing, Kent and fiance, Randall Emmett chose a nontraditional route for the occasion. Surrounded by family and friends, and Kent's 'Vanderpump Rules' co-stars, a group gathered on an open field where a skydiver's parachute landed, with the chute revealing the color of the gender which is...pink! Yes, Kent, 30 and Emmett, 49 are expecting a baby girl. The duo, who had to postpone their nuptials due to COVID, announced their pregnancy on their podcast which coincided with Lala's 30th birthday. She is not the only pregnant 'Pumper' as former co-star, Stassi Schroeder is also expecting a baby girl and was also in attendance for the big reveal. Another former co-star was on hand in Kristen Doute along with her current bf as well as Tom Schwartz and wife, Katie Maloney-Schwartz. Many were Team Boy, including Lala and Doute but Randall is already a girl dad to Rylee and London from his first marriage to Ambyr Childers. Congrats to the happy couple and you can see it go down on Lala's Instagram page.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Dead at 87!

The world is mourning the loss of an icon and a legend- Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court Justice, has passed away at 87. She has had her health issues, which included a bout with colon cancer in 1999; pancreatic cancer 10 years later; a stent in her artery; lung cancer and much more. However, the one thing that remained consistent about RBG was the fact she never missed a day on the bench and made sure she always showed up like a boss. One of the reasons she was seemingly holding on for dear life was to wait for the election so the current president could be voted out and not replace her with more conservative judges. Unfortunately, her little body could not hold on any longer. Nominated by former president Bill Clinton, she hold this post from 1993-2020, predeceased by husband, Martin Ginsburg, who passed in 2010. She leaves behind children Jane and James and a plethora of fans! We will miss you! Now, bubble wrap Betty White and protect her from 2020!

Denise Richards Exits 'RHOBH' Right Before Part 2 of Reunion!

Denise Richards is OUT from 'RHOBH' less than an hour and a half before part two of the season 1o reunion is set to air. The actress' rep has confirmed her departure from the series after just two seasons. It was clear, this season, she was not the same Denise who stepped onto our screens season nine; carefree and bubbly, not really giving a damn. Instead, she seems to be controlled by her husband, Aaron Phypers, who is convinced he can cure cancer and that they are being followed, and she does not want to deal with anything thrown her way. Add that to claims she had an affair with former 'RHOBH' cast mate, Brandi Glanville, which she has vehemently denied and she is dunzo. The best revenge would be to come back but she has chosen to not do that and she may taking Garcelle Beauvais, who joined the series this year, with her. The two have made a pact to leave the show together and now, Garcelle is co-hosting 'The Real' so we will see what happens with her for season 11. Either way, do not miss part two of the season 10 reunion tonight at 9pm only on Bravo.

'We Bare Bears' Are Full-Length and Full of Fun!

*WARNER BROS. HOME ENTERTAINMENT PROVIDED ME WITH A FREE COPY OF THE DVD I REVIEWED IN THIS BLOG POST. THE OPINIONS I SHARE ARE MY OWN.*

If you are a fan of the 'We Bare Bears' series, you are going to love the full-length movie. With a running-time of 68 minutes, it is the perfect amount of silly and happiness for the entire family (and for grown adults, let's be honest). The Cartoon Network series turned movie finds Grizz, Panda, and Ice Bear meeting for the first time. From there, adventures ensue and, of course, they must find ways to make it out safely, dodging insanity and laughs along the way, while keeping to the core of love and understanding throughout. This could not come at a more appropriate time for its young fans; as we go through difficult and trying times in the world, it is imperative to teach and embrace compassion. Who better to teach them this than this cast of characters. Included in the 'We Bare Bears The Movie' DVD is tons of special features such as early sketches, deleted scenes, and commentary. I really think this is a fun flick to throw on after a long day of Distance Learning or Saturday morning over cereal. With voices by Bobby Moynihan, Demetri Martin, Eric Edelstein, Jason Lee, and more. 

OWN 'WE BARE BEARS THE MOVIE' ON DIGITAL & DVD SEPTEMBER 8.
