We just announced there was a new housewife coming to the 'RHONY' franchise, per Luann de Lesseps. Today, we are sad to say one of the OG's is leaving and we are not happy about it! Bethenny Frankel, who has been a staple from seasons 1-3 then 7-11, announced she will be departing the series to focus on other endeavors. "I have decided to leave the 'Housewives' franchise to explore my next chapter. It's time to move on and focus on my daughter, my philanthropy and my production partnership with Mark Burnett, producing and starring in shows which represent a shift in the conversation for women," Frankel shared with Variety today. As shocked as fans of the show, set to start filming season 12 around Labor Day, were at this announcement, Frankel's co-stars seemingly had no idea this was the path she was taking.
"I'm only disappointed that Bethenny did not inform her costars that she's not coming back to the show,"Ramona Singer of 'RHONY' told PEOPLE after saying how happy she is for all of the opportunities Bethenny has in her life, like her boyfriend. "When she left in season 4, we found out through the press she was doing her spinoff, Bethenny Getting Married. She was upset we never congratulated her, but we were upset she never told us! And that's how we feel now. There is a camaraderie among us as a cast. Love us, hate us, not like us- we are a team. To hear this from the press and not through her is upsetting." No word from her other co-stars about her departure but this will definitely change the game and how exciting the show will be, love her or hate her. But, we wish her all the best!
The grand announcement for the latest season of 'Dancing With the Stars' is here and we have the list of the "stars" who will be competing for the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy! Let's do this! -Karamo Brown ('Queer Eye') -Lamar Odom (basketball player/Khloe Kardashian's ex/big question mark) -Hannah Brown ('The Bachelorette' contestant) -Kel Mitchell (actor/comedian) -James Van Der Beek (actor/ 'Dawson's Creek') -Sean Spicer (former White House babbler) -Christie Brinkley (model) -Lauren Alaina (singer/ 'American Idol' contestant) -Ray Lewis (former NFL-er) -Kate Flannery (star of 'The Office') -Ally Brooke (singer) -Mary Wilson (member of 'The Supremes') Welp, I am half impressed and half shaking my head. A lot of people assumed Jessica Simpson would be joining the show based on some clues but they were clearly wrong. The show begins September 16th so who do you think will be taking home the trophy? Let us know!
It has been a few seasons since the 'RHONY' has cast a new housewife. In fact, the last newcomer was Tinsley Mortimer in season nine because Barbara Kavovit was just a "friend of" for season 11, not holding an apple. For season 12, rumors were swirling OG housewives Ramona Singer and Luann de Lesseps would be out on their behinds and after the reunion, no one was seemingly going to miss the high horse Countess. Now, this same Countess revealed the truth behind the cast shake-ups...and it looks like it has nothing to do with her or the Singer Stinger. Barbara will not be returning, though it was de Lesseps who introduced her to the cast. Luann spoke with Michelle Collins on SiriusXM to spill the tea and dispel other casting rumors, most prominently that her ex-husband Tom D'Agostino's ex-girlfriend, Missy Pool, was in the running to join the series per good friend, Ramona. Yes, as you may have seen over the past few seasons, Singer and Pool are close friends and Pool would appear at events thrown by Singer which were also attended by D'Agostino and de Lesseps or just the latter. It was very awkward but classic Ramona.
In terms of bringing Missy on as a regular, Luann said this: "I don't think that's going to happen. I think they already cast somebody else. Can't tell you who, but I think they did!" Apparently, the singer/performer/whatever she is, does not know much about the new apple holder but hopefully she will be fun and fabulous...and not touch the Morgan letters. As for Barbara's exit, there was nothing in depth or any bad blood which we know about but she did let Luann know she was not Adele and it was enough for us to be happy! The rest of the cast- Bethenny Frankel, Sonja Morgan, Tinsley Mortimer, Dorinda Medley- are all set to return for the new season set to start filming in just a few weeks! Cannot wait to see who this mystery housewife is but if you follow these ladies on Instagram, we will probably know sooner rather than later!
Last season, fans of 'Married At First Sight' were screaming at the television for Kate to break up with Luke. He was cruel and manipulative and we were tired of her whining and crap. By the end, we wanted them both to get therapy. Now, we are onto the new season and to say the men have outdone Luke is huge but true. We will put aside Greg and Keith, who are just genuinely loving guys, at least they seem to be good men with hearts. But then there's Matt and Jamie...experts, my ass. Jamie is paired up with Elizabeth who is eclectic and fiery. Yet, there is something we have grown to just accept about her. She is out of the box and Jamie is so rigid, he is lucky he has someone like her. Sadly, he is so disrespectful. He pokes and prods on her emotions and when he does not get what he wants, he throws around divorce. He is cruel and if he was a child of ours, he would be disowned. When he recently called Elizabeth a materialistic c**t for admiring herself in their wedding photos, is he for real?
This was her first time seeing them and she was probably still in shock, like "wow, this actually happened!" But, he had to throw around insults like an asshole and that was wrong. He should have been thrown off the show and any girl watching should tread lightly if they consider dating him post-MAFS. Then, there is Matt, the husband who is married to Amber with abandonment issues, yet he has failed to come home twice! Why? He seems to think he needs a break from being married after just a month! A month! We get he spent years traveling for basketball but you're married now! We know you're cheating so stop the lying!! If we had to pick the couple who will last, it will be Greg and Deonna because Keith can do better than Iris and Elizabeth/Amber can do better than their men!

with overtones from the classic fairytale, this contemporary musical

singer-songwriter. Her reality, however, is suffocated by her conniving
and cruel stepfamily and a demoralizing job working as a singing elf at
billionaire Terrence Wintergarden’s Santa Land. When she starts to fall
for Nick, the handsome new Santa at the tree lot, things begin to look
up. Unfortunately, when her stepmother and stepsisters realize Kat has
been invited to the prestigious Wintergarden Christmas Gala, they’ll
stop at nothing to procure their own invitation and keep Kat from
attending. With the help of her attentive dog, a true friend, and a
little bit of holiday magic, Kat may just make it to the gala, discover
the true identity of Nick, and experience the true meaning of Christmas.

Denise Richards was a newcomer for season nine of 'RHOBH' and longtime fans were super skeptical of her arrival. However, the skepticism did not last long as she quickly became a fan favorite with her down-to-earth behavior, don't-give-a-crap attitude, extreme openness, and hot husband. There was this whole new side to Denise and she was a pleasant treat for viewers so it is no surprise she is returning for another season, the upcoming season 10. She had fun filming, we had fun watching and apparently, Bravo is paying up. Radar Online reported Richards made one million dollars for her debut season on the show and will make four million dollars for four season, assuming she stays that long and the show does not get cancelled now that OG, Lisa Vanderpump has said her good-byes.
The plan was to keep the figure a secret but it has since gotten out and the other housewives- Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne, Kyle Richards Umansky, Teddi Mellencamp, and Dorit Kemsley- were not too happy with the newcomer's salary. Prior to coming onto the show, the only household names currently on 'RHOBH' were Rinna and now, Denise. Richards Umansky was known through nieces Paris and Nicky Hilton while Teddi's father is the famous one. Name recognition can go a long way and we got to watch Denise get married and there is probably the hope her ex-husband, Charlie Sheen would someday appear. After all, their two daughters, Sami and Lola are regulars on the series. We are stoked for more Denise and do not care the cost. Are you excited for another season of Denise? Let us know!
