So much happening in the Bravoverse this week, we barely knew where to start. First, well wishes to Vicki from RHOC who is recovering from a near death illness. Alexis Bellino is engaged to Jimmy J, and we wish them well. But will Alexis' divorce settlement prevent her from actually marrying Johnny Aioli? Tamra is getting a lot of heat for her treatment of Shannon. Vanderpump Rules' future is being questioned - will there be another season? We have some exclusive info on this from a source. And in other VPR news, Brittany filed for divorce - and for full custody, which tells us there's more to the story. And we have some info on what may have led to Jax going into rehab. Plus a theory on why Brittany finally filed. And we have SO MUCH tea on what's actually happening with the whole cast of The Valley and why they're divided, plus who's on which side. So much drama and mess and we are here for it. This week's episode is sponsored by Nutrafol. Find out why over 4,500 healthcare professionals and stylists recommend Nutrafol for healthier hair.

Jenn Fessler joins us this week - she is authentic, real, and answers the hard questions. We got a preview of her new song. She reveals something surprising - there is a surprising piece of information that all of the RHONJ housewives knew going into filming and throughout filming the season. Jenn's favorite and least favorite parts of being a housewife, plus where she stands with each of the women. And, best of all, she shares a little preview of her new song. Jenn also graciously gave Cocktailers an exclusive discount on her sexy yet comfortable line of stiletto heels, F Major. Go to shopfmajor.com and enter code COCKTAILS for 25% off!
We kick off with a back to school tangent. And of course, we talk Real Housewives of New Jersey and the non-reunion as we're calling it. Is it the end of the show as we know it? Another tangent - the meanness of some of the fan accounts is just a line too far. Is Teresa spiraling after seeing bad fan reactions to her saying that she didn't care about what Louie said about Marge and her son suffering? We have a theory about why Johhnie Aioli might actually be suing Shannon. And the RHONY trailer is out and we have some insight into some of the eyebrow-raising clips...

Is RHONJ coming back? We share the latest tea. We go deep on the season (or is it series?) finale of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Who's lying? Dolores or Marge? B has a theory about a scene being filmed later than portrayed. Our unpopular opinion on Jen Fessler peacing out on lunch. There were some great one-liners this episode. And, B's tangent - We need plumbers!
Amanda shares a little about her week getting married and about her "oops" that may force cosmetic surgery a little sooner than she thought. Real Housewives of New Jersey has everyone up in arms, and even Andy's commenting about the show's future on his radio show. Get out your tiny violins, Cocktailers, we discuss "Teresa's Big Announcement" and we have thoughts about what Teresa might actually be stressed and upset about. Could it be that maybe everyone is right? Maybe both the ex and Luis are toxic? And we were fully entertained by Marge's shady flowers...we fully expect that card to be on display in Andy's clubhouse. We both enjoyed this week's episode of OC...and give Gina props for choosing her children, even if we don't believe that's the full reason Travis is moving out. Alexis' Johnny J press tour continues...but what in the name of Jesus' jugs made her think her big revelation would actually make him look better? Vicki's getting sued, and everyone else seems to be running with that news, but we have a little different outlook.

Real moms of Bravo Abby & Vanessa join B this week. Expect to here about F boys, OC insider scoop , Jersey insider scoop. And all of B and the ladies opinions on everything from VPR to the publicist. Yes, we get into it, we break it down. We laugh and we spill all the tea. It is not to be missed
First, a tribute to Shannen Doherty - we will miss her. She was unapologetically herself and we feel like we lost a friend this week. Tom Sandoval continues to villainize himself - he just filed a lawsuit against Ariana for "invading his right to privacy" through her "unauthorized and unpermitted access to, use of, and copying of the data on his cell phone and the distribution to Rachel Leviss". We have thoughts on that and his very strange 4am Instagram live with his girlfriend. We have breaking news on the Real Housewives of Orange County. And, a Cocktails and Gossip exclusive about the future of Real Housewives of New Jersey. We can't tell you all the details yet, but we share what we can and definitely encourage you to keep an eye on Cocktail Party next week for more.

Amanda just had an evening out doing an activity that B does NOT approve of. And we go on a bit of a tangent about boating. Our merch store is almost ready - we can't wait to share it with you! And while things were slow on Bravo this week during the holiday, there was a lot going on offscreen. True to B's prediction, Lindsay Hubbard announced her pregnancy. And we share a little about why we haven't and won't share specifics or pictures of the new man in her life. Summer House is filming, and we've got info on the newbies - and who is vibing. And Hannah Berner came out this week telling the story of why she and Kyle actually had beef - turns out it had nothing to do with Luke. We each have theories about why Hannah is now telling that story, four years later. And if you haven't watched Ryan Serhant's new show Owning Manhattan on Netflix, jump on it. We both loved it and share our thoughts on what makes it so good - and of course, we've got opinions on the agents.

We are such big fans of Dana and are so excited to have her on the show this week. We get her real opinion on what procedures she thinks some of your favorite Bravo and Hollywood stars have gotten. She also answers our questions about getting facelifts in our 40s, and what kind of non-surgical beauty treatments give the best bang for their buck. And of course, we get her opinions on what's happening on shows like Real Housewives of New Jersey, Vandperpump Rules, and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Check out Dana's amazing content at @igfamousbydana on Instagram. Cocktailers, we love LolaVie's naturally-derived hair care products that really work and smell amazing.

We both had late nights...so it's only fitting we start with a tangent about rosé. And as expected, New Jersey is top of the list to discuss this week, and we untangle the hairdresser drama and talk about how charity events work. Amanda finds some interesting data about Jen Aydin's charitable history. LVP is going to be back on our Bravo screens. With Kenya out on Real Housewives of Atlanta, who is going to take her place? Could the timing of Peter Thomas's tax announcement be a coincidence? And a theory about Gina from RHOC that we put together with Cocktailers on our last Zoom. Dubai sparkles...but we have a bone to pick with the show.
So much to discuss about Real Housewives of New Jersey this week - on and off screen. First, a tangent about Dolores' boyfriend Paulie's 14 year separation in which he still isn't divorced. This week's episode was classic Housewives and we loved it. Rumors are swirling that Carl and Danielle from Summer House are dating - we'll share what we know. We do have an exclusive on an upcoming RHONJ scene - and more bad news on Teresa, her husband Luis, and Vinivia, a company they are associated with. And last but not least, B has another prediction.
Lots of smoke around Kyle and Amanda and their marriage this week. Is there fire? Why didn't Amanda go to Italy with Kyle for Andrea's wedding? We'll tell you what we're hearing plus more on the history of their relationship and how that could weigh into today's situation. Thoughts on the Summer House reunion, and where things could be headed for this summer's filming of Summer House. We've got an exclusive about the cast and filming of Bravo's new show, Making it Manhattan. Luis Ruelas, husband of Teresa from RHONJ is tied to another business scandal. We looked into the company at the center of the scandal and found some pretty interesting imo. Teresa launched her pod this week - and we're in shock about what she said about her past. On RHONJ, Jackie gives the ultimate "pick me girl" energy and we. are. over. it. We're hearing all kinds of wild rumors about Real Housewives of Atlanta filming - and we're reserving judgement for one very specific reason. Have you been thinking about joining Cocktail Party?

We start out with a tangent about college hookups, going right into why Amanda is mad at Bravo. We need a reunion on the Valley! Here's why. We have an exclusive about Britney and Jax's house. B is vindicated now that Andy Cohen and People Magazine confirmed that there will be no RHONJ reunion. We've got some tea about where Jersey could possibly go next. And we are loving Real Housewives of Dubai. It's giving fashion, fun and the light housewife shade we all are craving. Our thoughts on the new housewife, Taleen, and the cast in general.

Who's surprised that Jax is out there dating Only Fans models? Not us. B has some exclusive Vanderpump Rules tea. Who do we think the VPR couple who temporarily rekindled was? We think there are some clues in the Peacock extended version. And our thoughts on the final installment of the VPR reunion. We feel like we got some clarity. Summer House: B has a theory on why Amanda is seemingly on Carl's side. And we have another theory about why Kyle called Craig a liar on WWHL. We have some exclusive RHONJ cast updates. And why is Teresa having lunch with the hairdresser who "exposed" her for allegedly having an affair when Joe was in prison a few years ago? We smell a setup and hope Danielle does too.

The Atlanta cast is finally set. Why is Sheree out? And yet again, all roads lead to Bravo as we tie a Housewife to the Drake/Kendrick Lamar battle. Kim Z is clickbaiting again. We’ve got some insider tea on the new “Making it in Manhattan” show. Carl and Lindsay - luggagegate and whose side we’re on. Kyle’s fight with Ciara and Paige - we have slightly differing opinions on the situation but both agree he’s acting like a man baby about it. We have an update on the Naomie Olindo (formerly of Southern Charm) lawsuit - it’s still not over, and it’s not looking great for Naomie. B’s got some insider info on Austen and Craig’s spat.
First, a genuine apology to Jen Armstrong, formerly of RHOC and to Jen Pedranti, currently on RHOC. We mixed up last names, and when we meant to refer to Jen Pedranti, we accidentally called her Jen Armstrong. No shade was meant. But just because we messed up Jen P's name, doesn't mean we're not going to share the latest on her fiance's involvement in the Ohtani theft/gambling scandal. @bravoandcocktails_ Instagram has been in the news - thanks to a pic we got from a Cocktailer that was then shared and credited to the B&C IG by TMZ - of Dorit and PK at dinner shortly after their separation announcement. We have a hot take on Jenn Fessler's convo with Teresa. B's question for Amanda - if *this one thing* changed about John Fuda, would we all have a different opinion about him? The VPR reunion aired, and we've got different opinions about the Lala vs. Katie convo. Cocktailers, thank you for listening to Cocktails and Gossip! We might change our minds about shows and Bravolebs on the daily, but you know what we don't change our minds about? Gossip.
We've got two different sets of breaking news this week. We start out with the story about Ryan Boyajian, fiance to Jen Armstrong of the Real Housewives of Orange County. He has been named as an associate to the bookie in the gambling and theft case of Shohei Ohtani, the LA Dodger, and his interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, who has been accused of stealing more than $16 million from Ohtani and wiring the money for his gambling to Ryan Boyajian. What did Tamra Judge say about this? You'll hear it here. Jersey is leaving us feeling a little dirty, now that we know about what's been going on behind the scenes (allegedly) with members of the RHONJ cast paying and giving gifts to fan accounts in return for the fan accounts trashing their cast rivals. Vanderpump Rules' season finale felt a little like a series finale. But we know it's not - the ratings are just too good to end the show. Did production give Sandoval a redemption arc? We have differing opinions. What should Lala do next? And, as we're discussing a poll that B put up on @bravoandcocktails_ , we get some breaking news from Dorit and PK.

What happened to episode 103? And today, we had a whole different WTF... Michelle and Jesse from the Valley have both gone public with new love interests. We've got a lot of info on Jesse's new gf – and she has a fascinating back story that we get into. We disagree about Jax's real motivations for telling Brittany he doesn't want a child, but we agree that everyone's scapegoating on Kristen and she's getting all the blame for something most of the folks on The Valley are doing too. Did you guys catch the weird two refrigerator thing in Kristen's apartment? Ariana is playing chess and Brock is playing checkers - more on what greyrocking is. VPR is pausing production this summer - here's why (according to our sources) and who is spiraling? Today's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by Lolavie.

Monday was one of the wildest days in the Bravoverse that we can remember. Firings, divorce news, pregnancy announcements. Is Nneka actually not coming back to Potomac? B has an Atlanta casting update. The Valley is sending us. We love it. Kristen is an empath? Lol. We have the tea on who the rumored director that Michelle Lally was hanging out with. We have a lot more info on Raquel Chevremont, the new RHONY Reboot cast member. And of course, Cocktailers knew there was trouble in paradise for Alexia and Todd's marriage. Is it really all that shocking that he filed for divorce? Or could that have been a strategic move? James and Ally have an emotional chat - we've got a unique viewpoint about that chat. And would anyone, even Schwartz buy a house with Tom Sandoval? B's got a prediction about Scheana and Brock's marriage...

Larry from @Bravobygays on Instagram and the Bravo by Gays podcast is here! We get INTO it about Vanderpump Rules - starting with Jo. We read the transcript of her interview on Rachel's Gone Rogue - is she a victim of Tom Shwartz's gaslighting? Were they actually dating last summer? Larry's thoughts on the Katie/Tori/Schwartz love triangle. What is actually going on with this Lala/Ariana feud? We have theories. What show does Larry think is Must-See-TV? Thoughts on Jax and Brittany - are they broken up for good? Summer House: We discuss Danielle and Paige; Why we think Paige is setting a great example for people (not just women) in relationships everywhere; Our real opinions on the Summer House newbies; What's going on with Kyle and Amanda?

Sorry guys but hate the idea of a full reboot. Miami style would be better. Marlo absolutely needs to go back to friend of. Marlo will never be able to do fun shade, because of her childhood she will always go hard when she feels threatened. I may be in minority but beyond tired of infertility journeys and miscarriage stories.
RHONJ has been about families from the very first episode.
Amanda and B are awesome! best part of My week ladies!! love this podcastt
