Lala Kent Dumps Randall Emmett, Falls Back Into Boozing

A curious phenomenon has been taking place on the current season of Vanderpump Rules . Against all odds, and seemingly against their inclinations, West Hollywood’s most unrepentant hedonists are very slooooowly beginning to show signs of maturity. The Toms are starting a business; Stassi has found love in a stable relationship, and two — count ’em two — members of the drunkest squad in WeHo have decided to sober up. Of course, there are some asterisks next to that last development. James Kennedy put the plug in the jug after essentially being forced to do so by his girlfriend and his former boss. And Lala Kent took a tumble from the wagon on Monday night’s episode of Vanderpump . Yes, after remaining sober throughout a multi-day wine tour that she planned and paid for , Lala filled her cup with some of Solvang’s finest during Kristina’s barbecue last night. To be fair, Lala has been put through the emotional wringer in recent months due to the unexpected death of her father. But while her dad’s passing was certainly weighing heavily on Lala’s mind during the trip to Solvang, it’s what took place afterward that really pushed her over the edge. Lala’s decision to quit drinking was largely due to a pact that she’d made with longtime boyfriend Randall Emmett following a boozy night that rapidly spiraled out of control. So she was understandably pissed off to find Big Rand hammered on her return to LA. “I came home from Solvang and saw Randall had partied to the point where he doesn’t even know his own name. You’re slurring your f—ing words. That doesn’t work for Lala,” she told the camera. “I feel betrayed because we made a pact. This is a hard time for me, and I need my partner, I need my soulmate, and I need someone to back me up.” A possibly-tipsy Lala shared further details with Brittany Cartwright and Katie Maloney: “He claims it’s because I’ve been very, very, very un-loving and harsh the past week,” she said. “I decided to take a break from him,” Lala added, glass of rosé close at hand. “There’s just a lot going on. I’m just so f—ed up right now. I don’t think I can be with Rand. He kept my Gucci slides, like took them from me and was like, ‘I want you to remember.’ You want my f—ing Gucci slides? Take them. Take them!” Lala went on to reveal that despite the loss of her sugar daddy, she’s unconcerned about her financial future. “The only thing that will be different is it’s not going to be like, oh, we’re going to be traveling on a private jet to f—ing Mykonos, which, guess what, honey? There’s a lot of d–k out there for me to suck to get on a p.j. I’m just letting you know,” she said. While we appreciate her optimism, private jet dong might be a little harder to come by than people think. Which may be why Lala and Randall’s engagement is officially back on. Hey, the girl knows what she’s looking for in a relationship — and it requires a hangar and a trained pilot. View Slideshow: Lala Kent: Best Instagram Pics of Vanderpump Rules’ Newest Star

NeNe Leakes Claims Lisa Vanderpump Stole From Her

NeNe Leakes has come out swinging against Lisa Vanderpump. Hard. While appearing on Jenny McCarthy's Sirius XM show Friday, the veteran Bravo star dove deep into why she has a major issue with her fellow reality personality, accusing Vanderpump of some seriously underhanded… stuff. “She knows that we have a little something, something she did to me. I’ve never really addressed it. … She did some real foul sh-t to me.” Before delving further into the details, NeNe dropped this tease: “This is the first time I've really spoke out and you'll get some really good juicy sh-t.” Leakes went on to say she actually wanted to buy the space on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star now owns and turned into Pump Restaurant. She came right out and accused Vanderpump of stealing this idea from her. “At the time, Greg [Leakes] and I were living in [Los Angeles] and I was working on Glee and New Normal,” Leakes told McCarthy, expounding as follows: “We ride down that West Hollywood area where all the gay bars are — and I have a large gay fanbase — and I kept thinking, ‘It would be so cool if I had a bar right in here somewhere.’ “And that space was empty and kind of raggedy-looking and torn down.” Leakes said she then called Vanderpump, who already owned restaurants Villa Blanca and SUR in the same area, to gauge her opinion on the idea. “She said, ‘Oh darling, darling, it’s a piece of crap and they’re charging so much for it, darling,’” Leakes claims. “She talked me off of it and then went and got it. … That’s so f-cked up.” If this story is true, then yes: that is pretty effed up of Vanderpump. Leakes added on Friday that she and Vanderpump have never talked about the incident. “Now when she sees me, she has this little dog that doesn’t even crawl and she’s like, ‘Hi NeNe,’” Leakes told McCarthy, referring to Vanderpump’s dog Giggy. “ “She just looks at me funny. … We’re gonna get Lisa Vanderpump. Sort of crazy, right? Check out the video here for more.

Lisa Vanderpump: Leaving The Real Housewives For Good?!

Will she stay or will she go? That is the question that has been following around Lisa Vanderpump for weeks. There was talk in late September that Vanderpump is no longer having fun as a cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills… … and Lisa Rinna told Us Weekly that the veteran Bravo star simply vanished for long periods of time during filming of the latest season. This has all led to speculation about Vanderpump’s future on the series, especially in the wake of her brother’s tragic passing. (As previously detailed, Mark Vanderpump died of a suspected drug overdose in May. He was 59 years old.) Might she actually leave the franchise? Despite all the money it has made for her and all the name recognition it has helped her achieve? We now have an answer — and that answer is yes . According to a network insider, per Radar Online, the drama between Lisa and the other ladies , specifically former best friends Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley, have become “too much” for Vanderpump to deal with. This may not have been the case in the past. But combine Mark’s passing with the many other projects that consume her time and Vanderpump is ready to leave the Housewives behind. “She was dealing with grief, filming Vanderpump Rules, opening [new restaurant] TomTom and running the Vanderpump Dog Foundation,” explains this Radar inside, adding: “She was not equipped to handle Housewives, even before the drama happened.” For those unfamiliar with the drama being referenced above: A source has said that Vanderpump got into a major argument with Kemsley after the latter adopted a puppy from Vanderpump Dogs — only to then drop it off at a shelter after the canine “nipped” at her young kids. Lisa stopped filming episodes of The Real Housewives soon after this went down, although Tom Schwartz told Us Weekly that his friend just needed a “mini sabbatical” after the death of her brother. Vanderpump has mostly mourned this loss in private, although she did issue a simple statement on Instagram shortly after Mark died. It read: “It’s been a devastating couple of weeks… one day at a time… I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your love and support. Love Lisa xo.” Radar, however, writes that Vanderpump’s absence from shooting isn’t just some little break. It’s a full-fledged break- up . “She has no plans to return to the show,” the insider tells this website. “But who knows what the future holds.” Lisa, though, WILL return to Vanderpump Rules in the future and she also just announced a partnership with Caesars Palace to open Vanderpump Cocktail Garden in Las Vegas next year. She’s doing pretty darn well for herself. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Cast: Already Plotting to TAKE DOWN Denise Richards!

Jenelle Evans: Is She Being Blackmailed By David Eason?

It's been a rocky few weeks for Jenelle Evans. As you've likely heard by now, Evans was hospitalized earlier this month following an altercation with her husband, David Eason. Jenelle's 911 call seemed to paint a pretty clear picture of what happened: Despite Evans' earlier claims of her husband's innocence, David obviously got drunk, got angry, and attacked her. Why then, did she come up with such elaborate excuses to explain her injuries — and why does she continue to cover for him? We may never know for sure, but some fans think they've figured it out. Take a look:  1. Hard Times Jenelle and David were involved in an altercation that turned violent earlier this month. Now, Jenelle is assisting her husband in his efforts to sweep the whole incident under the rug. 2. The Absolute Worst Fans have hated Eason for years, but now they have more reason to dislike him than ever before. And it’s not just the abuse allegations that have TM2 viewers so irate. 3. The Aftermath People are outraged with the way David has handled the fallout from Jenelle’s hospital visit — either ignoring the matter entirely or joking about it on social media. 4. #FakeNews From the start of the scandal, David has taken a page from the president’s playbook, dismissing all negative reports as fake news. 5. A Team Effort Jenelle has assisted her troubled husband in his efforts to play innocent, even going so far as to concoct an elaborate and implausible story about how she sustained her injuries. 6. Jenelle’s Version Jenelle’s account has changed several times over the course of the past week. First, she claimed that she tripped and fell during a party at her home … View Slideshow

Lisa Vanderpump: The Other Real Housewives Are BULLYING Me!!

It has been clear for a while now that Lisa Vanderpump is less invested in being a Real Housewife these days. It seems that there’s some underlying beef with her fellow Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but they’ve mostly kept a lid on it. Now, however, multiple Housewives are letting their frustrations spill over into public comments. Over the weekend, Camille Grammer married David C. Meyer . Lisa Rinna, Dorit Kemsley, Teddi Mellencamp, and Kyle Richards were all in attendance at the ceremony in Hawaii. Lisa Vanderpump, however, was not. And fans definitely noticed. One fan commented on Kyle’s Instagram, demanding to know: “Why do YOU guys always [gang] up on LVP?” “This show will suck without her,” the commenter wrote. “But I’m sure she will be in all your mouths.” (To be clear, the commenter means that her name will be on their lips and is not suggesting either sex or cannibalism) Kyle Richards replied to that comment and was adamant that the claim is untrue. “NOBODY has ganged up [on] anyone,” Kylie insists. “Any report of that,” Kyle writes. “Is an outright lie!” “LVP has been invited to every single event that we each have been invited to,” Kylie continues. Kylye adds: “If she chooses not to come then that is her choice.” “Anyone trying to sway the public to believe anything else is not being honest,” Kyle concludes. Lisa Vanderpump herself had a very different take when a commenter wrote to her about how she has been treated. “This season of @realhousewivesofbeverlyhills is clearly a massive gang up of bullying against you,” a fan wrote. And,” the fan’s comment said. “I think it will be their biggest mistake.” The fan continued: “That show will not survive to be the show it was without you. #factsarefacts” Lisa Vanderpump seemed to approve of the commenter’s take on the recent dynamic among the Housewives. “Someone’s paying attention,” she wrote back. Elle’s Juicy Scoops shared some thoughts on Instagram about upcoming episodes of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . “I predict a season with silly fights, little friction, and a lot of snooze in between,” the page predicts. “LVP grieving the loss of her brother in her own way, being distant and absent here and there, throwing some shade,” the page writes. The prediction then includes: “new alliances and attempts to gang up on LVP.” Lisa Rinna saw it and emphatically disagreed. “Why hasn’t Lvp filmed with us for over 6 weeks?” Rinna begins. “I have no beef with her,” Rinna claims before demanding to know: “Who does that? Who doesn’t show up for work?” “I too lost my father while filming,” she continues. “And I completely understand that everyone’s grieving process is just that their process.” “We have all reached out to her and we are all there for her,” she says. “She has chosen to not film with us,” “I too lost my sister to an overdose I have great empathy and I have been there,” she writes. “If you sign up to do a job you do it,” Lisa Rinna affirms. “No matter what. That’s show biz.” “I did it,” she continues. “Eileen [Davidson] did it when her mother passed away the day before the reunion.” In Rinna’s eyes, “You show up or if you can’t then you say I can’t and I’m going to take this season off to heal.” “But please don’t make any of us out to be bullies,” she says to fans. “We are not.” “We are here to film a tv show that we all signed a contract to do,” she concludes. “We wish LVP only the very best in her time of mourning.” We’re not sure that we buy that there’s no beef between Vanderpump and her co-stars. But we will say that it’s probably not right to characterize these particular reality stars as bullying each other. Find another word. View Slideshow: 14 Best Lisa Vanderpump Quotes… Ever!

Scheana Marie: My Split From Mike Shay Has Made Me Stronger!

A new season of Vanderpump Rules is upon us, and while we're sure to see plenty of new beefs and breakups among the staff at SUR, at least one cast member has been enjoying a steady upswing in recent months. After enduring a painful divorce from Mike Shay , Scheana Marie moved on and found love again with actor Robert Valletta. While that situation may not have gone entirely as planned, those who know her best say they've never seen Scheana happier. But while Scheana is understandably eager to leave the past in the past, she's also admirably candid in discussing the ways in which she's been changed and strengthened by the struggles that brought her to where she is today: 1. The Newcomer When we first met Scheana back in Season 1, she was the new girl at SUR. As Vanderpump fans know, that’s a difficult position to be in, but Scheana met the challenge with grace and courage. 2. Scheana and Shay At the time, Scheana was in what appeared to be a stable relationship with Mike Shay, and both parties openly discussed their desire to get married and start a family. 3. A Memorable Wedding The couple tied the knot in a swanky ceremony befitting Scheana’s unique sense of style. Unfortunately, not long after they exchanged vows, life for the Shays took a sharp downturn. 4. A Secret Addiction Shortly after the wedding, it was revealed that Mike was struggling with an addiction to prescription painkillers. He had reportedly gone to great lengths to hide his substance abuse from Scheana. 5. Toughing It Out Scheana stood by her husband’s side as he battled his personal demons, but as Mike withdrew deeper into himself, kept her at a distance, and began disappearing for days at a time, she began to feel she was left with no choice but to bring the marriage to an end. 6. An Example to Others Now, Scheana is opening up about the painful decision to call it quits, and the challenges of being married to an addict. As opioid abuse continues to destroy lives in record numbers, Scheana’s is sadly a situation that millions can relate to. View Slideshow

Scheana Marie Reveals New Vanderpump Rules Cast Members!

If you watch Vanderpump Rules online , then the thought of DJ James Kennedy probably brings to mind the image of a shaved ferret furiously pounding the play button on iTunes and wondering why women aren’t lining up to have sex with him. Or maybe that’s too harsh. Perhaps for you, DJ James conjures thoughts of a Harry Potter prequel that focuses on young Voldemort’s time as a West Hollywood club douche. Whatever the case, we’re all in agreement that James is the absolute worst. Unfortnuately, we have bad news for the James Haters out there, as it looks like Kennedy will be back for another season of pretending he has any reason to hang out around the rest of the Vanderpump crew. This year promises to be even more awkward than last, as James’ one pseudo-ally, Lala Kent, quit the show last summer. James needs someone to talk to other than the unseen middle-aged dude he rents a corner from (we assume his name is Ron), which might explain why Raquel Leviss is apparently being added to the cast. The news comes to us courtesy of a post on Scheana Marie’s Instagram page: Scheana posted the above pic during a day of filming, and the introductory tone of the caption led many fans to the impression that the folks she’s flanked by will be joining the Vanderpump family for Season 6: “My pageant queen and SUR’s newest!” Scheana wrote alongside the pic. The woman, of course, is pageant competitor and noted bad decision maker Leviss. She’s dating Kennedy, who we can only assume has some Trump pee tape -level dirt on her. The dude is a male model named Adam Spott, who is now, according to Scheana, SUR’s newest. We’re not sure what sort of ties Spott has to the rest of the cast, but it’s not the first time producers have tried to liven things up with a newcomer who never appeared on the show as a friend of an existing SUR-ver. It didn’t work out so well for Lala, or the ill-fated Vail Bloom (We miss you, baby girl.), but maybe the third time will turn out to be the charm. If nothing else, Spott will give the ladies of SUR something to look at other than Kennedy’s rage-contorted mug, and we’re sure they’re grateful for that.

Robert Valletta and Scheana Shay: We’re Instagram Official!

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage? Maybe in 1983. These days, it’s more like: First comes a dating rumor, then comes a few vague hints from those involved, then comes anonymous source confirmation and then comes the first social media photo of the new couple. Isn’t that right, Robert Valletta and Scheana Shay? The Vanderpump Rules star and her rebound from her failed marriage to Mike Shay went public on Wednesday night, making their romance Instagram official via the cozy picture above. Posing alongside the little known actor, Shay captioned this image with a single blue heart emoji, confirming that things are progressing very well between the two. Valletta also posted a photo of the pair from the same evening on the red carpet, as they attended this film premiere with Shay’s Vanderpump Rules costars Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix. Check it out below: “She wasn’t expecting to meet somebody new so soon; she certainly wasn’t looking for it,” an insider told People Magazine last month of Shay, who divorced husband Mike in November. This source added: “She’s taking things slow, but is finally optimistic on what the future might hold.” Scheana and Mike called it quits on their marriage last fall after two years as husband and wife. Those who would watch Vanderpump Rules online on a regular basis were well aware that the couple had its share of issues. Mike battled an addiction to painkillers for quite some time, actually going missing for several days not long before  Scheana filed for divorce . At the time, the estranged reality stars released a statement that made it sound as if this would be an amicable break-up. “While we have made the difficult decision to move forward separately, our story will continue on through the love and mutual respect that we have cultivated throughout our 15-year friendship,” they wrote, adding: “Much of the recent speculation and reporting on our relationship has been misguided, and we have come to an amicable decision on all matters. HOWEVER: A trailer for the upcoming Vanderpump Rules three-part reunion, which debuts on April 3, features Shay alleging that her former husband cheated on her, claiming that she “caught him texting another girl.” That trailer came out around the same time as Shay releasing this picture of her and Robert Valletta. Hmmm… coincidence? Or it Shay trying to stir some $hit up between herself and Mike? It feels like a very long time since the two sliced into some wedding cake and exchanged vows, doesn’t it? Says another source to People: “Scheana spent the past year putting all of her energy into her marriage, neglecting her own needs. “In Scheana’s previous relationship she carried the weight, in regards to finances and responsibility. “It’s refreshing to see her with somebody who matches her own ambition and work ethic.” Sort of hard to wonder if this anonymous source isn’t a certain Vanderpump Rules cast member who recently got divorced and who just made her romance Instagram official.

Game of Thrones Season 7: Premiere Date Announced!

Summer is coming. Doesn’t exactly have the same ring to it, does it? But it remains true, and with summer will come the return of the most popular show on television. Via a Facebook Live “event” that was really just a block of ice slowly melting away to reveal a date, HBO announced today that Game of Thrones Season 7 will premiere on July 16, 2017 . Mark your calendars. Set your DVR. And plan all vacations accordingly. The network has also unveiled the first official poster for this beloved series, which will debut in July for the first time in show history. The teaser image – first seen this week at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas – evokes a pair of the the iconic fantasy series’ favorite themes: Fire (typically represented by Daenerys and her “children,” of course). Ice (most commonly associated with northern son Jon Snow). What might this mean? You’re guess is as good as ours. But it’s safe to assume that Dany and Jon will finally meet this season. What else do we know at this time about Game of Thrones Season 7? According to a script that allegedly leaked , fans can look forward to the following storylines. (Consider yourselves SPOILER WARNED.) Jon Snow and Daenerys spend a great deal of the season together at Dragonstone. Arya and Sansa will be reunited, with the former essentially acting as a killing machine at this point. Under orders from Sana, Arya will kill Littlefinger. Cersei will be pregnant (no word yet on the identity of the father) and will form an alliance with Euron Greyjoy to do battle against Jon and Dany. Sam, Gilly and Bran will piece together that Jon Snow the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. Jon will head north of the Wall to capture a wight and bring it back as evidence of the very dangerous threat that exists there. Oh, and The Night’s King will actually possesses Dany’s dragon Viserion and turn him into an ice dragon that destroys the fall. WHOA! This all should be taken with a grain of salt the size of Tyrion’s ego, of course. But it all sounds rather epic. No official announcement has been made, meanwhile, but Game of Thrones is expected to come to an end after Season 8. We have no idea what we’ll do on Sunday nights after that. We really don’t want to think about it. View Slideshow: Game of Thrones Season 7: How Many Episodes Are Left? What’s Jon Snow’s Real Name? And Other Questions

Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright Talk Marriage, Vanderpump Spinoff

Despite this season’s heavy focus on the Katie Maloney-Tom Schwartz wedding (and the many occasions for drunken debauchery leading up to it) Jax Taylor remains the heart and soul of Vanderpump Rules. Like The Situation before him, Jax is awful in the best way. He cheats, drinks heavily, takes way too many GNC supplements, and spends a bizarre amount of time on surgeons’ tables. But despite Jax’s wicked ways, he and his pious Kentucky girl Brittany Cartwright have managed to make their relationship work. Their odd couple dynamic has been one of the most entertaining parts of Vanderpump Season 5 (sorry, Tequila Katie) so it’s not surprising that for several months now, questions about the couple’s future have been circulating on social media. Specifically, fans want to know two things: 1. Will Jax and Brittany get married ? (Our guess: not any time soon.) 2. Will the long-rumored Jax and Brittany spinoff show ever come to pass? (Our guess: absolutely!) By most accounts, the Jax-Brittany reality show filmed last summer in Kentucky, and will premiere sometime this summer. Further details will likely be released around the time of this year’s Vanderpump reunion shows, but for now, a source offers this explanation to TMZ: “The focus of the show will be Brittany’s family pressuring her to get hitched to the bad boy… but he’s just not into sealing the deal.” Sounds like we’re in for kind of a lighthearted, fish-out-of water/Green Acres vibe Probably won’t pull in Vanderpump-level ratings, but could be an amusing diversion for two or three seasons. But given the low-budget, low-stakes nature of the project, the amount of secrecy surrounding it is downright bizarre, and it’s led some fans to believe there’s more to this thing than meets the eye. In the past week, Jax has twice dodged questions about the show, as well as about his future with Brittany: “I mean, I wouldn’t be opposed to it. I know they were talking about it,” Taylor recently told E! News. “They’re talking about spin-offs all the time with all of us, so I don’t know what’s going on.” On Monday, while appearing on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, a caller asked if Jax is planning to propose to Cartwright any time soon. He dodged the question by pointing out that they’ve only been dating for a year; she took to Twitter to remind fans they’ve been dating for nearly two years. All of this has led to two main theories: 1. Jax proposes to Brittany on the show, hence all the secrecy. 2. Jax and Brittany have been having problems, hence the reluctance to publicly discuss the spinoff. View Slideshow: 37 Classic Vanderpump Rules Moments in GIFs Either way, it’s more of the unpredictability that’s endeared Jax to fans over the years. Watch Vanderpump Rules online for more of Mr. Taylor’s shenanigans.
