By The Lady Cocotte The final episode of the Vanderpump Rules Season 6 Reunion starts with the Bromance of the Century. In honor of Jax and James’ 1 year anniversary (who didn’t love Season 5 reunion James?) the cast lists their similarities. They’re compulsive. Needy. They both love attention. It’s all laughter and lolz until […]
Vanderpump Rules: Reunion Part 2
By The Lady Cocotte The second night of the Vanderpump Rules Season 6 reunion opens to Jax bellowing, “You can’t even keep a boyfriend!” It’s the greatest insult the serial cheater can think of. Backstage, Scheana barely notices. She’s in her happy place. The hair and makeup people try to ignore her whining (and dabbing […]
Vanderpump Rules: Reunion Part 1
By The Lady Cocotte It’s hard to believe Vanderpump Rules Season 6 is over. Before our favorite Angelenos sneak off like thieves in the night, let’s see what the reunions bring to light. Andy starts out with updates on Sur’s most troubling relationships. Jax and Brittany are back together (bad). Stassi is no longer seeing Patrick (good) […]
Vanderpump Rules: Welcome to TomTom
By The Lady Cocotte The Vanderpump Rules Season 6 finale begins with a far better recap than I could ever do: Tom Sandoval goes into business with Lisa Vanderpump, dragging Tom Schwartz behind him in a little cart. Stassi’s boyfriend is a loser. Rob, Rob, Rob. Brittany gets Jaxed. So does Faith. Scheana goes old […]
Vanderpump Rules: Lost Cause
By The Lady Cocotte I wish I could enjoy the latest Vanderpump Rules breakup. Brittany needs to get away from Jax and never look back. She should listen to her verse in 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover. “Get yourself some dignity, Brittany.” But it’s all for naught. They’re still together. So let’s pretend to […]
Vanderpump Rules: Reiki Breaky Heart
By The Lady Cocotte As if by magic, tonight’s Vanderpump Rules transports us back into the throes of Jax’s mid-life crisis. He thrashes around Sur like a wounded manatee, heaving and panting as he shoots the bird at all and sundry. His smokey eye, updo, Gstaad moment teeters close to breaking the fourth wall. Accusing […]
Vanderpump Rules: Karma’s a Bitch
By The Lady Cocotte Let me set the stage for tonight’s Vanderpump Rules. Jax, the last person anyone should believe about anything, convinces the group that Kristen and James cheated on their partners (based entirely on the positions of a few pillows and empty bottles). He changes James’ denial into an admission by replacing “hung […]
Vanderpump Rules: The Smoking Gun
By The Lady Cocotte Calling all Vanderpeople. Tonight concludes the Vanderpump Rules season 6 Mexico adventure. Expect tears. Expect shouting. Expect Kristen on James action? It’s a rewind episode. Production tells us upfront the moral majority have decided Kristen and James made up plus some. Could it be true? Did she cheat on Carter? Did […]
Vanderpump Rules: Sur Going South
By The Lady Cocotte Occasionally, I watch the Vanderpump Rules opening credits. There’s something soothing about watching survers fling drinks in slow motion. This week the whole crew is in Mexico (you know, where Schwartz once flung a drink on Katie). Last week, Stassi and Lala led an all woman army against Jax. They scorched […]
Vanderpump Rules: Nothing Here for Me
By The Lady Cocotte Vanderpump Rules is heading back to Mexico and you know what that means. Drinking. Tiny bathing suits with weird coverups. And drama. Lots of drama. Although it could never be as iconic as a Stassi birthday trip, I’m excited to see what a week of tequila and bad decisions look like. […]
Vanderpump Rules: Watch Your Back
By The Lady Cocotte I thought this season of Vanderpump Rules was going to be all about The Hair. It’s not. It’s all about vaginas. I have one of those. I don’t make a big production of it. At least tonight we’re treated to a new -gate: Is Jeremy creepy? Or is Stassi a lying […]
Vanderpump Rules: Vegas! Baby?
By The Lady Cocotte I owe Tamara Tattles a huge “Thank You” for taking over the Vanderpump Rules recaps while I was on vacation. It was nice to get a little break from the radiator. But I’m home now and I’m here to claim what’s mine. Vegas trip? Mine. Showing up late (and drunk) to […]
Vanderpump Rules: Wishful Sinking
We start this week with the morning after a major drinking binge where Lala and James got into it. Wait, isn’t this how most episodes start? It’s just this one has most of them in a cabin at Big Bear Lake. Lala is drinking by 9:15. Which is technically allowed if she is having it […]
Vanderpump Rules: It’s All Happening
There sure are a lot of fires at SUR. If I recall correctly, Villa Rica used to have the same issues. Weird. Oh and hi! It’s me Tamara filling in for Lady C who is frolicking on a beach somewhere without me. I already had to pause to find out if this “Dan” a manager […]
Vanderpump Rules: Screams and Queens
By The Lady Cocotte I can’t believe we’re almost halfway through Vanderpump Rules, season 6. So far, it’s been a gas. Tonight is all about the dueling birthdays. It’s Queen Bee Stassi vs Queen Bey Ariana. Who will come out on top? It depends on the judging criteria. If it’s based on how many times […]
Vanderpump Rules: Call me Jason
By The Lady Cocotte Stassi and James are combining forces to throw a party celebrating Lisa as the new Editor of Beverly Hills Lifestyle magazine. Whew! That’s three fake jobs in one sentence. As soon as Lisa is out of earsight, Stassi relentlessly badgers James about his boyfriend. It’s obnoxiously scripted but necessary to set […]
Vanderpump Rules: Best Mates
By The Lady Cocotte The last we saw our darling Vanderpump Rules friends, Brittany’s mom surprised her daughter with a Kristen Doute-sponsored visit. Jax looked downright terrified to see her. In a split second, he saw all of his manipulations swirling down the drain. And in the real world, he would have reason to be […]
Vanderpump Rules: It’s Not About The Pasta
By The Lady Cocotte There isn’t much that can keep me away from my beloved Vanderpump Rules but this flu sure is trying. I’m going to do my best, because I owe it to the show, but it’s not going to be pretty. So bear with me and try to follow along. Anything that doesn’t […]
Vanderpump Rules: See You Next Tuesday
By The Lady Cocotte It’s been a long week already but Vanderpump Rules is sure to soothe my weary heart. So far, this season has been popping. They’ve given us an interesting twist on an old classic by having Jax Taylor confess his cheating from the get-go. Now we really get to see behind the […]
Vanderpump Rules: Sex, Lies and Audiotape
By The Lady Cocotte I actually look forward to Vanderpump Rules. It’s definitely the best thing about Mondays. While making dinner, as my anticipation grew, I joked to myself, “I wonder who is going to get caught cheating tonight?” And then I remembered: Rob! I guess it’s not a real relationship if he’s not cheating […]
Vanderpump Rules: Absinthe-minded
By The Lady Cocotte Bravo is starting the new year off on a good foot with a brand new episode of Vanderpump Rules. Bring on the buffoonery! Bring on the inflated egos! Bring on the deep fried goat cheese balls! We gotta keep this party rolling. Scheana, Katie and Stassi spend the night at Brittany’s […]
Jax Taylor’s Father Has Died
Yesterday, I noticed that Brittany was asking for prayers for Jax and his family, and it was clear to me that his father was nearing the end of his fight with cancer. Brittany and Jax were in Kentucky for Christmas again this year and they usually head down to Florida afterward. Britanny got to see […]
We Need To Talk About Faith…
Faith from Vanderpump Rules is doing the most to talk about the show and the Jax storyline. I’ve read several stories about her since the episode came out. She seems stupider and stupider in every single one. I’ve actually opted not to post about it because it is all so ridiculous. And she never tells […]
Vanderpump Rules: Back in the Saddle
By The Lady Cocotte Sorry it’s taken so long to get this Vanderpump Rules recap up. Life doesn’t always go the way we plan. But a late recap is way better than a late period… Just ask Jax. For some reason that is totally not his fault, knocked up side chicks keep breaking up his […]
Vanderpump Rules: Unfaithful
By The Lady Cocotte Full disclosure: I watched last week’s Vanderpump Rules premiere three times. It was that good. The Sur gang delivered everything we’ve come to expect. Stassi and Katie were mean girls. Scheana was delusional. Tom Sandoval overestimated his intelligence. Kristen inserted herself in someone else’s argument. And, most importantly, Jax Taylor cheated […]
Vanderpump Rules Season 6 Premiere: Masquerade
By The Lady Cocotte Vanderpump Rules is back and I couldn’t be happier! I have so many burning questions. Will Katie and Tom Schwartz be as miserable in marriage as they were as fiancés? Will Scheana be as delusional in her new relationship as she was in her marriage? Will Tom Sandoval and Ariana continue […]
Vanderpump Rules Premieres December 4th Will Lead In To RelationShep Premiere
In lieu of other options, how about I purple pen this Bravo press release? NEW YORK – October 30, 2017 – Bravo Media serves up a double with a twist in the season six premiere of “Vanderpump Rules,” immediately followed by the series premiere of the new docuseries “RelationShep,” on Monday, December 4 at 9pm & 10pm ET/PT respectively. doc·u·se·ries, noun ˈdäkyo͞oˌsirēz/ a […]
Jax And Brittany Take Kentucky: Goodbye, Kentucky
Well, boys and squirrels, the time has come to say goodbye to our old Kentucky home. I am pretty much the only person on the planet who enjoyed this little season. It was summer fluff in a time when I needed some summer fluff. I will however not miss hearing Jax deliver the line, “Britanny […]
Jax And Brittany Take Kentucky: About Last Night
I have taken the reins in getting us through these last few episodes of Jax and Brittany. This is because The Lady C just can’t watch another frame of it. It is late this week because I had a lot going on last night and made some poor choice with regard to a personal celebration, […]
Jax & Britanny Take Kentucky: The Gospel According To Jax
Sorry to disappoint you, gentle readers, but you are stuck with my recap of Jax & Britanny as The Fabulous Lady C, is unavailable for this recap. In fact, I’ll probably be doing the rest of them. She isn’t really filming the season. I on the other hand, love this show. I did just realize […]
Vanderpump Rules Jax & Brittany Take Kentucky: Let’s Make a Baby
By The Lady Cocotte The last we saw Jax, our intrepid hero, he was on the hot seat. His possibly, maybe, someday engagement ring had won over Tan Mom and Mamaw but Daddy Don wasn’t as easily duped. So he sat Jax down for his ten thousandth “when are you getting married, son?” summit and […]
Vanderpump Rules Jax & Brittany Take Kentucky: First Comes Love…
By The Lady Cocotte I have to admit I’m a little surprised Jax & Brittany Take Kentucky hasn’t been cancelled yet. Jax and Brittany are as interesting as a bologna sandwich. With mayo. On white bread. You know it’s true. Plus, the whole show is built around one lame joke (Jax tries to do farm […]
Vanderpump Rules Jax & Brittany Take Kentucky: Welcome to Kentucky
By The Lady Cocotte What happens when you take Vanderpump Rules’ biggest douche and drop him onto a farm in America’s heartland? Jax & Brittany Take Kentucky, of course. How will Jax survive so far away from his plastic surgeon and STD clinic? Does it even snow in Kentucky? And how will sweet little Brittany […]
