Vanderpump Rules News has been trickling in all day today and I have been waiting for a couple of things like chatting with my source, and Scheana Marie to have her baby before writing some stuff up. Also I am in a foul mood and have a headache today. Also the major of the town where I shop had decided no one in required to wear masks in stores anymore? Can he do that? Isn’t it still up to Publix and Kroger? Le sigh.
A New Vanderbabie Is Born
So first of all, Scheana Shay did have her baby. Her boyfriend Brock Honey Davies was on hand for the big occaision. This is Brock’s third child. The babies name is Summer Moon Honey Davies, she weighed 6lbs 12 oz. Scheana had a difficult pregnancy and the delivery wasn’t any easier. But she got those lashes and lips ready for her close-up in record time! 🙂

Scheana says, “Almost 24 hours after being induced, my blood pressure was extremely elevated. I was diagnosed with preeclampsia, which has now turned into HELLP syndrome. My doctor said I was lucky, and we caught this just in time to treat as it’s very unusual to be caught so late, in postpartum. Until this morning I was on a magnesium drip that made me extremely lethargic and flu-like, shivering uncontrollably to the point where I felt like I was seizing. Having not caught this condition in time, that would have been likely. I am still being monitored closely for elevated liver enzymes and low blood platelets and not sure how much longer we will be here.”
Exclusive Info On Vanderpump Rules
And now for some Vanderpump Rules. This morning Variety posted and exclusive about the return of Vanderpump Rules. I dashed off thinking, “this can’t possibly be true.” They let the entire cast out of their contracts in December! Now four months later they are going to renegotiate? But, it’s Variety! So a frantically reached out to my source who was also shocked. According to SOURCE, Bravo decided to keep Vanderpump Rules just like the decided to keep Southern Charm. Because they really don’t have any new ideas or new shows in the pipeline. And they are both fairly cheap to make. So um… yay?
SOURCE also said, “Bravo is hell bent on making a point to renew these shows and get the back to production this summer. It’s ridiculous. Ratings are low, viewer interest is lower and casting sucks. It’s infuriating for the shows who work hard to entertain, creatively evolve, and maintain a sense of the Bravo brand as these two shows are literally rewarded for their bad behavior time and time again. Many people internally have voiced their frustrations with both shows but Bravo brass have deaf ears.”

I shocked. Several months ago Bravo let everyone out of their contracts. So those will all have to be reworked. I think the only cast member that actually works at SUR is James’ girlfriend, whatzername. What the hell is this show going to be about? What role will LVP have? I imagine James will be welcomed back with open arms by LVP who is going to need some reason for these people to be at the restaurant.
Production starts next month. My source says they are pushing to get it on the air this summer! They don’t have enough shows for the summer which is apparently why they picked it back up. It may suck, but it is better than nothing. We’ll see how that goes… Crazy Vanderpump Rules news.
Tom, tom, katie, Ariana and scheena? Will Katie be superior and judgy because no.
And Lala, James & Raquel.
I think this is stupid AF! The ratings suck. We know most of the cast does not work at SUR, that it’s fake AF. Jax said he had not worked there in like 6 yrs. Is there no one at Bravo who is creative. These shows are tanking in the ratings. Bravo viewers keep begging for new casts & new shows.
I’m happy for Scheana. I just wish Bravo had gotten on board with a Nots to Tots show….people who could not figure out how to adult having kids.
LaLa just finished a real movie with real movie stars right before the baby was born. I think she said she is done with VPR.
After all her fiancée/baby daddy is a legit Hollywood producer.
I saw where she said that too. I don’t get why Bravo keeps trying to resuscitate this show that they killed last December. There is no THERE THERE.
Oh shit! That means Don’t Be Tardy is coming back!
I’d rather watch RHOM, Kathy Griffin, Rachel Zoe, Brad Gorensky or about 100 other good shows Bravo has aired.
I’ll be watching, I admit it. VPR was one of my first Bravo shows and I have a soft spot for all of these idiots. Well, not LaLa, but pretty much everyone else. LaLa is way too full of herself for me. And that’s saying a lot on a cast that includes Stassi, Jax, Sandoval, and Scheana – ha ha.
Yes…Lala has such an inflated ego and she’ll bring Grandpa Randall on the show with her.
I thought Lala was a bit more normal there for a bit. Katie really is a pill. I’m shocked Swartzie is still with her. It sucks that Tom Tom isn’t open. The Toms running that place (as fake as it is) would have been more interesting.
They could have tried a show based on Lala and Scheana. Hopefully that is a storyline. I like Lala and I’d like to see how they both change after having a baby.
Or they should have done a show with THE TOMS. Call it Tom Tom. Leave SUR out of it, because NOBODY WORKS THERE ANYMORE!
I guess my point is, why fall back on the same premise that we are all over with? We still want to know what happens with these people. At least I do. I want to know what they are all up to, even the fired racist ones, especially the ones with new babies. But the days of pretending to work at SUR are long gone. My SOURCE seemed to imply that they are hiring young people to work at SUR and they were trying to hire “influencers” to bring in viewers. We spoke about how dumb that idea was. Latoya Ali was brought up as a prime example. But as SOURCE says, Bravo suits have deaf ears. Back in December, this show was dead and buried. Desperate times.
All they have to do is feature new cast members. I liked Charley.
Oh my- “influencers” – blah. Does Bravo not know who it’s audience is? Why does it feel like we “boomer aged” viewers are being left in the dust, when we have been their loyal supporters? When I think of “social media influencers”, I just want to barf. I hope it falls flat, with a big thud if that’s what it’s going to be. Yuck.
I can’t stand Katie! She is so unlikeable.
Wow.hmmm.
Just think of how critical we will (we as in viewers), every time they do anything.
If they get wasted, what a horrible parent, etc.
Being great parents, getting along, behaving, is not Bravo entertainment, LOL.
Who would want to see themselves up for the criticism?.
Also, who needs to know all the info regarding her health. Gawd, be somewhat private.
Beautiful baby by the way.😊
I haven’t watched this show in such a long time…we’re talking back years and years ago when the show first started, when I liked LVP and couldn’t believe she let Stassi back on the show and didn’t fire Kristen for her awful behavior, which is hindsight was nothing compared to what happened last year. But, I do lurk and read recaps lol just to see what I’m missing. The only one I remotely liked was Ariana. Always thought she was super cool and edgy. Oh well. Like you said…can’t believe there will be yet another season.
Oh and I have other news in the pipeline with some Peacock Poop. I’m not overly interested and SOURCE is very busy so I’m not pressing on much.
But Nene is being all dramatic filming at a beach somewhere. God I hope she is not the 8th housewive. Oh and by filming, she has someone filming her trying to be sexy on a bunch of rocks. It looks like just another Nene moment. She declares SHE IS BACK a lot.
I read it was Tamra from OC.
Me too Audrey.
Nene is so ridiculous. She was on Instagram w/the Zeus Network CEO, Lemuel Plummer. Supposedly they have some show cooking. He was proud of having Nene. I thought it must not take much to make him happy.
I’m pretty sure I saw Nene on a YouTube commercial for a game the other night. It didnt highlight her … just 3 ladies playing the game under hair dryers at the salon. I’d bet my monthly check it was her.
I wouldn’t even have known that was Schaena . . . it looked like Denise Richards to me. I’ll give VPR another chance. I’ll enjoy it more without Jax, Brittany, Stassi & Kristen there.
I feel that way also.
I do wonder what/who is going to be filmed for the new VPR. If it’s going to be majority “new people”, that will never fly, because even if they suck, we all have much more of a connection with the “old people”. But they’ve all just had babies, they’re older now, not working there, etc. So what’s the show even going to be I wonder. Even with the last season, where there were enough of the “old people” around to serve as a “bridge”, nobody warmed at all to the “new people”. I’m gonna have to do a “deep dive” on google to try to find the names of who these “Bravo execs” are- cuz they suck and they need to hear they suck from we the viewers, barely hanging on by a thread! Now that more and more people are vaccinated (and now they’re finally easy to get), things are going to move quickly towards not requiring masks. Things are moving forward. Biden just announced some moves in that direction today in his press conference (loosening of some mask restrictions, and I think the train is going to start really speeding ahead soon- Biden has set the 4th of July as the date we will all get “back to normal”. So unless there’s a real medical reason we can’t, that’s validated by a doctor, please, please, please everybody who can, please schedule and get a vaccine. They’re plentiful now and appointments are easy to get. For your sakes and for the sake of the rest of the “public” (in the term “public health”). Mmmkay- end of the p.s.a 😊
Kat, that’s a great PSA and common sense. No excuses anymore about getting appointments. Get the vaccine and don’t screw up things when they are finally re-opening.
I hope Scheana has an easy recovery from having HELLP syndrome. I had it with my first baby and had an emergency c-section at 28 weeks. He’s 25 years old now and healthy but the recovery is hard on the mom and the Magnesium is the worst
I don’t mind VPR coming back, I mean it’s great trash TV but with Katie being the only one not with a kid do we get a whole season of how Tom’s junk don’t work? Cause sorry please no.
At this point, maybe Bravo needs to keep VPR and Southern Charm going to keep them as feeder shows for future seasons of Winter House?
They should have done a VPR spin off show – VPR: Last Call with all the OGs that don’t work as Sur anymore and filmed all the pregnancy pact ladies going through their pregnancies. I guess they still can show them as new moms.
A show about places like Sur and Tom Tom dealing with re-opening after COVID could be interesting but that’s just a totally different show than what VPR was before and where the existing cast is at in their lives.
I guess I am glad VPR is back but without Jax, Stassi, and Kristen to stir the pot what even is this thing?
I think Bravo needs to revamp their line-up. All the housewife shows, and anything vanderpump related has seen it’s day. It’s stuck in the 2000’s and needs to change. How about more real type reality shows? How about something more up to date instead of the same old tired women screaming, drinking too much, flaunting their alleged wealth and not even married (most of them) anymore. As for VPR? It had it’s heydey. These people are too old to be acting like idiots, fake working at bars and fighting and now having kids when they haven’t grown up themselves. Time for something else. In other words, Bravo needs a do-over.
I would prefer Southern Charm New Orleans or Mexican Dynasties over Southern Charm or Vanderpump Rules so this is upsetting but I’m already over it because now that I’m fully vaccinated I won’t be stuck at home this Summer watching this crap.
I agree! Mexican Dynasties and Southern Charm New Orleans were two of my favorites!! I also liked the show about women going to Rome to find love. Am really looking forward to the return of Family Karma.
I agree 100% ! I loved New Orleans, get rid of Reagan and that baby daddy of hers, and Mexican Dynasty was great! I loved that family!
I loved that Finding love in Rome show! And Mexican Dynasties. So of course they were one and done. The problem is people watch Bravo for brawling housewives. They are not interest in anything outside the US. So the good shows never make it, like Ladies of London or TOUR GROUP! I didn’t even get to see Tour Group end. They literally dropped that show mid season.
Source is complaining about the show effecting the “Bravo brand”? Ummm, honey, this IS the Bravo brand!!! They still pay castmembers of shows who have committed crimes varying from violent to civil to white-collar. They reward women (and men) on EVERY single show who get in the gutter with low-blows and drama. And… have you not watched anything with Andy Cohen?
Again, honey, VPR is very much the bravo brand.
You have a reason for calling it the Mysoginy network
Also, “creatively evolve”?! We see the same trips, same psychics, same murder mysteries, same cheating drama, etc. etc. etc.
Rinse and repeat.
Legitimately, can anyone tell me how these shows have creatively evolved in a positive way? Curious.
Don’t forget the same therapists!
What happened to Charli? I know the rest were either fired or left, but she was the only newbe to not do anything stupid. So i guess it will just be competition with Sheana and Lala and who will be top dog in the baby realm. It will be interesting to see the dynamics of the show without those people though, let see how much they did carry the show.
Madison owns SC now. I dunno who on her team manage to snag the prime men she had “hooked up” with but really the rest of the cast should be sending her fruit baskets in keeping this show relevant, good or bad as it may be.
Congrats to Scheana! I’ve always rooted for her, she’s not a mean girl. Also, I think she has the hottest boyfriend of any of the Pump Rules gang. Go Scheana!!!
I recently relapsed on Southern Charm. I stopped after season 5 when Thomas got in all that trouble. However, after the Alex Rodriguez scandal, I got intrigued and was bored over spring break and watched the whole series again. Gotta Love Craig! He is a Bravo Hero! I would watch a season 8 thanks to Madison’s scandal.
Also, I got turned off on Pump Rules. I didn’t enjoy watching Stassi & Beau, Jax & Brittany. Haven’t watched the last 2 seasons. I would give it another chance with this shake-up. I miss James!
Thanks for the scoop Tamara!
I wonder if they’ll draft in another young male who’ll have to pretend to find Vanderpump attractive It’s as cringe worthy as her needing to be film as often as possible in her bra.
/giggles
🤣
It seems they are beyond ready to get VPR out since they already released a scene that has garnered pretty negative fan response. Do you think they will hurry to produce Old Lady Gang as well? Im assuming they are still going ahead with the show.
Im not really excited for a new season. I think it is time to end the show and if they really want to follow the some of the cast do it on a new show with a different premise. I think Bravo has couple other shows coming, let’s see if they hit or miss. There is some casting for Americans in France (I am assuming it will be Ladies of London 2.0) and some Below Deck spin off in Miami or Fort Lauderdale (I can’t remember) with people in the yacht industry not necessarily people who work on boats.
My friend saw Kate (with no make-up, in shorts and a t-shirt) and Ben at Cafe Mataramarono in Fort Lauderdale. Dennis Rodman was also there.
