By The Lady Cocotte Tonight we’re treated to a very special episode of Vanderpump Rules. Trouble in Lala-land has the titular SUR hostess on the defense. Last night, Lala Kent announced she’s an alcoholic. Her accountability to her process bodes well for her future. Her need to get ahead of tonight’s narrative promises drama at […]
About The Lady Cocotte
Vanderpump Rules: Tom vs. Tom
By The Lady Cocotte As anyone who saw last week’s Vanderpump Rules preview knows, Tom vs. Tom reignites the James Kennedy/Katie Maloney Schwartz blood feud. It’s the storyline we hoped was over, all tarted up for the SUR alley. Will Fat-gate be the undoing of the only successful relationship on the show? Or will the […]
Vanderpump Rules: Reptilian Brain
By The Lady Cocotte There’s a disturbance in the Vanderpump Rules universe. Don’t blame Jax Taylor’s alleged STDs. Or Lisa Vanderpump’s numerous legal dramas. Our favorite former-SURvers are experiencing relationship problems. Everyone’s talking about Lala Kent’s breakup. While James Kennedy enjoys the schadenfreude, Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor bid farewell to the PJ. When Lala […]
Vanderpump Rules: PJs on the PJ
By The Lady Cocotte The cast of Vanderpump Rules is well versed in hangovers and regret. When partying pays your bills, you’ve gone pro. So, before PJs on the PJ can get to the meat of it’s story, we’re forced to sift through the wreckage of the Girls’ Trip to Solvang. Katie Maloney Schwartz wears […]
Vanderpump Rules: Return of Crazy Kristen
By The Lady Cocotte Vanderpump Rules is usually so good at easing us into an episode. Have Lisa Vanderpump and the Toms (Sandoval and Schwartz) give us an update on TomTom. Have the Witches of WeHo remind us who they’re mad at and why. Maybe throw Scheana Shay a bone and give her five seconds […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Super Queen Grand Finale Discussion
By The Lady Cocotte RuPaul is set to announce the Season 4 winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars tonight. The All Stars franchise is notoriously tricky. Nothing in Season 1 made sense. Season 2 was plagued by favoritism (RoLaskaTox) and bribery (insert snake emoji). In most circles, it’s still not safe to mention Season […]
Vanderpump Rules: So Vain in Solvang
By The Lady Cocotte This week on Vanderpump Rules, a hungover Lisa Vanderpump stumbles into SUR. The night before, the TomTom/Daily Mail party was a smashing success. Everyone loved the stuffy decor. The old lady flower arrangements. The insultingly ugly TomTom logo. The namesake Toms (Sandoval and Schwartz) are ready to celebrate. But LVP channels her […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Discussion: Sex and the Kitty Girl
By The Lady Cocotte RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars is back with one last challenge before the finale. After last week’s scandalous elimination, the queens are willing to do whatever it takes to win. Join us for a rollicking discussion of every flounce, every ruffle, every backstab along the way. Warning: This post (and comments) […]
Vanderpump Rules: Tom and Tommer
By The Lady Cocotte Do you ever watch a Bravo show and wonder where the story is? Does presenting a series of events, edited in the order they occurred, qualify as a show? I only ask because tonight’s Vanderpump Rules felt like a forty minute paean to LVP’s jeans. Here’s the thing: I take Vanderpump […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Discussion: RuPaul’s Best Judy’s Race
By The Lady Cocotte It’s taken me a lot longer than it should to admit I’m not able to recap RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4. It’s been a great season so far. Gia Gunn, the obnoxious villain. All of Monét X Change’s leotards. The delusion of Jasmine Masters. And Latrice Royale. And Valentina. My […]
#WWHL With The VanderDolts: Jax Taylor, Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz
By The Lady Cocotte Tamara and I played a rousing game of Who Hates Andy Cohen More to decide who should cover the Vanderpump Rules fellows on Watch What Happens Live. Somehow (Voodoo, cheating) I lost. It took me a few days to work up the courage to watch but I really shouldn’t have worried. […]
Vanderpump Rules: A Housewarming Divided
By The Lady Cocotte Vanderpump Rules is my jam. Manufactured pathos, a WeHo hipster fantasy. The deeper the delusion, the sweeter the Schadenfreude. But something isn’t sitting right with me. Last week got ugly. In ways it didn’t need to. Billie is unlikeable. Katie is cruel. Childhood triggers can mess you up. Inclusion is important. […]
Rent: Live Watching Party
Fox hopes third time’s a charm with Rent: Live (Sunday, January 27 at 8pm). Hot on the heels of the mildly successful Grease: Live (2016) and poorly received A Christmas Story Live! (2017), tonight’s telecast is based on the Broadway tour de force celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. A re-imagining of Puccini’s “La Bohème,” […]
Vanderpump Rules: Girls’ Night In
By The Lady Cocotte You know I’m under the weather when my Vanderpump Rules recap is late. I have an unhealthy obsession with the SUR crowd that requires constant input. Maybe there’s a part of me that wishes I could live in my twenties, forever. Maybe life would be easier if I had zero self-awareness […]
#WWHL With the VanderVillains: Stassi, Katie, Ariana, Lala, Kristen, Scheana, and Brittany
By The Lady Cocotte When Tamara told me Andy Cohen had all the mean girls of Vanderpump Rules on #WWHL, I knew I had to tune back in. For the past few years, my life has been mostly Watch What Happens Live-free. I’m not a fan of softball questions or misogyny so I just don’t […]
Vanderpump Rules: Love Thy Mother
By The Lady Cocotte Sometimes Vanderpump Rules is nothing more than a series of vignettes, a way to reposition the cast for future storytelling. Thanks to Stassi Schroeder’s mother, tonight’s chess board shuffle comes with a side of Lymopause. Dayna’s IMDB page proudly lists 11 episodes of Vanderpump Rules. She has a thriving Etsy store […]
90 Day Fiancé Discussion: Tell All, Part 2
By The Lady Cocotte With Colt and Larissa dominating the blogosphere, everyone’s excited for a new 90 Day Fiancé Tell All. Too bad it was filmed two months ago, before things got interesting. Part 1 introduced us to the Mean Girls. Fernanda, Ashley and Kalani spent little time discussing their own foibles. They were on […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Roast in Peace
By The Lady Cocotte I’m not very active on Twitter but a highlight of my life was a retweet from Lady Bunny. Talk about drag legend. It’s not that she’s been RuPaul’s best friend since Michelle was Michael. It’s not that she forced drag into daylight with the Wigstock festival. It’s not even her uproariously […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Jersey Justice
By The Lady Cocotte There are a handful of things RuPaul loves. iTunes residuals. A well tailored suit. And his two best Judys, Judge and Visage. RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Jersey Justice is an ode to Ru’s second fiddle. Merle who? This is Michelle country. It’s not much of a stretch to see Drag […]
Vanderpump Rules: Ice Queens
By The Lady Cocotte It’s been a long two weeks without Vanderpump Rules. Holiday family time? Peaceful tidings for a new year? Yes, I enjoyed them. But that didn’t stop me from wondering why Lisa Vanderpump hiked her Vander-cookies all the way to James Kennedy’s apartment. She’s a millennial Victor/Victoria. An enabler playing a woke […]
90 Day Fiancé Discussion: Tell All, Part 1
By The Lady Cocotte The 90 Day Fiancé weddings are done. An oversized baby flounced down the aisle, on the arm of the only woman he’ll ever love. A Kardashian wannabe attained her MRS degree without her overbearing father (or baby daddy sister) objecting. A pitiful excuse of a man chose Satan’s minion over his […]
A Very Late RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Recap: Snatch Game of Love
By The Lady Cocotte with purple pen by Tamara Tattles Sorry for the late RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars recap. Drag is my first love (sorry not sorry) but the holidays belong to family. Now I’m ready to ring in the new year with an All Stars version of Snatch Game. Our recent convert Tamara […]
90 Day Fiancé Discussion: Make It Or Break It
By The Lady Cocotte It’s hard to believe next week is the 90 Day Fiancé season finale. Time waits for no man, but these couples need to walk down the aisle pronto! if they want to stay together. So far, only Ashley and Jay have made the official plunge. Based on how well that turned […]
Vanderpump Rules: Lisa’s Dilemma
By The Lady Cocotte Like an 80’s revival that never ends, Vanderpump Rules brings us right back to Katie’s ultimatum. Not the one she gave her husband. That was resolved in season 5. This time around she’s demanding action with real-life consequences: fire James Kennedy or knowingly flout labor laws on national TV. It’s HR […]
90 Day Fiancé Discussion: Where Truth Lies
By The Lady Cocotte 90 Day Fiancé is full of ratchet drama. There’s Kalani and Asuelu’s oopsy baby. Fernanda’s childish tears. Steven thinking he’s capable of raising an infant without Olga’s help full participation. And Larissa’s Vicki Gunvalson-size love tank to fill. It’s trainwreck TV that demands CSI levels of analysis. I mean, we don’t […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Super Girl Groups, Henny
By The Lady Cocotte Stacy Layne Matthews’ triumphant return to the Drag Race stage evokes vaseline-smeared memories of the franchise’s early days. Before she was hailed as drag royalty by her RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars hosts, Stacey was an unpolished queen from Backswamp, North Carolina. Her season 3 arc was dominated by heckling from […]
Survivor 37 Finale: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
By Survivor Guest Correspondent Cho This is it y’all! The finale of Survivor David vs Goliath is here, and I’m so excited to see how things unfold. Will my predictions and analyses ring true? Let’s find out now! Jabeni Strong Literally everyone is up in the middle of the night looking for the newly hidden […]
Vanderpump Rules: Either Him or Me
By The Lady Cocotte Vanderpump Rules brings us right back to SUR Pride. Watch entitled twits attack an untalented Brit, against a backdrop of neon and side ponies. Like, oh my God, the 80’s were so awesome! Raquel is at a crossroads. James’ cheating baggage is finally too big to ignore. It’s time to fully […]
90 Day Fiancé Discussion: Backed Into a Corner
By The Lady Cocotte 90 Day Fiancé is the gift that keeps on giving. Last week, Colt’s cousin John lambasted Larissa at a family barbeque. Debbie sucked her teeth while Colt sat mum, nursing his Mona Lisa smile. Larissa was all alone, queen of her mountain but little else. Leida proved we ain’t seen nothing […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 4 Premiere: All Star Super Queen Variety Show
By The Lady Cocotte The RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season 4 cast is an experienced and talented group. They’re ready to wow from the minute they enter the workroom. Monique Heart and Gia Gunn show up in similar religious iconography, like bridesmaids at competing Catholic weddings. Monique is excited to prove what she can […]
Vanderpump Rules: Hope and Pride
By The Lady Cocotte Vanderpump Rules has two major storylines this season. Jax and Brittany’s engagement brings out the fun in the group. They plan a stealth party like it’s a caper. Wings from Hooters? Check. Alcohol? Check. Instagram friendly balloons? Check check. Even Lisa Vanderpump, a woman too distraught to work, attends. This is […]
90 Day Fiancé: No Way Out
By The Lady Cocotte 90 Day Fiancé is trash TV. Much like junk food, it tastes so good in the moment. Mama’s boy Colt continually disappoints Larissa. Sweaty Eric barely tolerates spoiled Leida. Ashley experiences racism for the first time. Pretty Fernanda somehow loves aging frat boy Jonathan. Kalani’s family. Other than the Olga storyline […]
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Holi-Slay Spectacular
By The Lady Cocotte For some of you, the RuPaul’s Drag Race Holi-Slay Spectacular heralds the Christmas season. For me, it’s a sign that RuPaul has a holiday album to sling. Mama Ru is the Bethenny Frankel of drag. She can, and will, sell everything. So here we are, watching Trixie Mattel (season 7, disputed […]
