“Queen you shall be… until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.” I’ve been remiss in updating you guys on Vanderpump Rules so I am going to just dump it all out here and hope it makes sense. The drama of the upcoming season […]
Scheana and Mike Shay’s Divorce is Final
TMZ has been wrong, wronger and wrongest about Phaedra Parks divorce over the past couple of years so I read their posts about divorce settlements with a very critical eye. That said, they are reporting that Scheana and Mike’s divorce has been finalized and the timing is about right. The rest of the story doesn’t […]
Vanderpump Rules Reunion, Part Three: No Lala But Everything Else
By The Lady Cocotte It’s been a long season of Vanderpump Rules but tonight we finally say goodbye. Goodbye, Tequila Katie. Goodbye, White Kanye. Goodbye, mean girls. Goodbye, Scheana Shay. Luckily for us, only one of those goodbyes is permanent. After a little break I’m going to really miss these “kids.” But for now […]
Vanderpump Rules Reunion, Part Two: Too Much Lala, Not Enough Crazy Kristen
By The Lady Cocotte Anyone in the mood for some arguing? Good, because it’s time for part two of the Vanderpump Rules reunion. Last week’s part one quickly paid homage to Kristen dipping into Brittany’s lady pond, Katie’s wedding planning and James Kennedy’s cheating but, at heart, it was all about Lala. We revisited […]
Vanderpump Rules Reunion, Part One: Don’t Expect Me To Take Responsibility For My Actions
By The Lady Cocotte Schwartz and Katie’s Wedding By Bravo is over. Scheana’s Marriage By Bravo is no more. Hell, even Lala’s Sur employment is dunzo. All that’s left is the three part reunion. Are you ready for the laughter, the tears, the DJ James Kennedy? Wait, don’t answer that question. Just sit down […]
Vanderpump Rules: Introducing Mr.& Mrs. Schwartz
By The Lady Cocotte This whole season of Vanderpump Rules has been leading up to Katie and Schwartz’s wedding so it’s fitting that they say their vows on tonight’s finale. Sure, other things happened (Stassi was a bitch, Jax’s penis showed up in inappropriate places, James “rapped” and raged and Scheana played the victim) […]
Vanderpump Rules Reunion Will Be Three Parts: Check Out The Preview
According to the press release for the Vanderpump Rules reunion, it’s going to be a good one. So much so that it’s a three part series! On track to deliver its highest rated season ever “Vanderpump Rules” Season 5 is averaging 2.4 million total viewers and nearly 1.7 million P24-54, up 3% and 4% respectively […]
Vanderpump Rules: Taco Tuesday, Wedding Wednesday
By The Lady Cocotte Every episode of Vanderpump Rules brings us one step closer to the wedding that shouldn’t be. The whole gang has gathered at the wedding venue. Yay! Lisa Vanderpump has arrived (by private jet) to ordain the wedding. Whee! Jax and Sandoval are balls deep into a plan to surprise Schwartz by […]
Vanderpump Rules: Triple Trouble
By The Lady Cocotte We must be nearing the end of the season because the Vanderpump Rules wedding that shouldn’t happen is about to happen. Yipee? After completing their yearly Sur photoshoot (this year’s theme was Mall Glamour Shots), the “kids” are headed to Katie and Tom’s wedding venue. That’s right. They’re taking their […]
Vanderpump Rules: Regrets Only
By The Lady Cocotte After three episodes in New Orleans, Vanderpump Rules is finally coming home. Did the LA bars notice a sharp drop in alcohol sales? Were local spray tan salons shuttered due to lack of customers? Did the air in Southern California feel just a little less vapid? Well, all of that is […]
Vanderpump Rules: Drag Battle
By The Lady Cocotte The Vanderpump Rules “kids” are in New Orleans and they’re trying to finish what Katrina started. Too soon? My bad, but you know it’s true. So far there have been tears (mostly Sandoval), drunken spats (Katie and Schwartz, obviously) and the main event: confronting Schwartz about cheating with Vegas girl. Yeah, […]
Vanderpump Rules: Man Tears and Braziers
By The Lady Cocotte Tonight Vanderpump Rules brings us Part Two of Stassi’s Katie and Tom’s Katie’s bridal shower blowout in New Orleans. WeHo in NOLA, y’all! So far, Katie’s been smacked in the face with Mardi Gras beads (awesome), Scheana gave Shay a book of photographs of herself for their wedding anniversary (what a […]
Vanderpump Rules: Beads, Beers and Tears
By The Lady Cocotte Tonight the Vanderpump Rules “kids” laissez les bons temps rouler in the Big Easy. That’s right. Everyone’s favorite Bridezilla is having her bachelorette party in New Orleans. And she’s dragged her brow-beaten, “abused wife” of a fiancé (and his groomsmen) along for the ride. Ugh. I forsee a lot of Katie […]
Vanderpump Rules: Into The Closet
By The Lady Cocotte I don’t know how tonight’s Vanderpump Rules can compete with last week. James Kennedy’s triumphant rap performance was overshadowed by an amazing ambush from his side pieces (coordinated by the ever delicate flower, Scheana Shay). His very public meltdown, which devolved into a bar brawl with Jax Taylor, was entirely expected. […]
Vanderpump Rules: Ambush
By The Lady Cocotte Things are starting to get spicy on Vanderpump Rules! Sandoval called Jax out on his alleged Gay for Pay past and Brittany and her mom are having a homophobic meltdown. James cheated on his girlfriend with several of LVP’s employees. Lala leaving the show has left the mean girls in need […]
Vanderpump Rules: Jax’s Roast
By The Lady Cocotte Vanderpump Rules is finally coming through. Last week we got Jax’s D and this week we get his roast. Oh yeah! This is what I signed up for. Sprinkle in some ridiculous friendship drama, a James Kennedy freak out and Ariana putting the beat down on Stassi, and I’m a happy […]
Vanderpump Rules: The D Pic
By The Lady Cocotte We survived last week’s Summer House promo Vanderpump Rules birthday extravaganza so I’m looking forward to getting back to our regular LA famewhoring. I’m sick of Montauk, I’m sick of Nascar. I’m sick of overgrown frat boys, I’m sick of that stinky RV. I’ve never missed Sur so much. It’s gotten […]
Vanderpump Rules: Summer House Rules
By The Lady Cocotte Tonight we get a two hour premiere of Summer House masquerading as an episode of Vanderpump Rules. Seriously, Bravo? Not only are you foisting this annoying show upon us but you’re besmirching the most important event of the year (ie: Stassi’s birthday) with your manipulations. Sigh. Who am I kidding? I’d […]
Vanderpump Rules: The Talk of Montauk
By The Lady Cocotte You may think the biggest event this week is the new year but that’s because you forgot that tonight Vanderpump Rules brings us Stassi’s birthday. Stassi’s birthday! It’s only the most important day/week/month of the year. Who can forget her Vegas birthday? Jax ripping off his chunky sweater to fight Frank […]
Vanderpump Rules: No Show
By The Lady Cocotte We survived Christmas. We survived losing George Michael. But can we survive another episode of Vanderpump Rules? You know I love this show. These vapid drama queens make my crusty heart sing. And yet, last week jumped the shark. Watching the mean girls tear into Scheana over her tepid apology to […]
Vanderpump Rules: Sociopath Test
By The Lady Cocotte Another (Mon)day, another Vanderpump Rules. Last week we revisited the Orlando massacre and it brought up a lot of feelings. Luckily, our amazing commenters brought the wisdom and healing we sorely needed. I’m really grateful for our little community here. And now the VPR kids can get back to what they […]
Vanderpump Rules: Pride
By The Lady Cocotte Mondays suck but at least we get new Vanderpump Rules. I can usually count on these crazy “kids” for a few chuckles. But this week is going to be rough. It’s Gay Pride week (which is normally all about joy) but we’re going to cover the Orlando massacre. And from the […]
Scheana Shay Files From Divorce From Michael Shay
The only surprising news about the recently announced divorce of Mike and Scheana Shay is that it lasted as long as it did. I’m not sure anyone thought this made for TV marriage would last. But before we get to that part, here is the official separation announcement as a result of Scheana filing for […]
Oh Look! Mike Shay Has Been Found, On A Park Bench in L.A.!
Raise your hand if you are surprised that Mike Shay resurfaced just in time for tonight’s Vanderpump Rules premiere? I see no hands. On Friday, Scheana sources close to Scheana, gave TMZ this story where is appears that she someone close to Scheana, used her husband’s sobriety as a storyline to generate interest in […]
Vanderpump Rules Marriage In Jeopardy!
Well, that didn’t take long. Scheana and Mike Shay ‘s marriage has hit the skids. Was it something she said? It seems that just two months after Katie and Tom got married in the woods, Mike has had enough and has taken off with no explanation. According to TMZ’s sources, Mike never came home […]
Scheana Marie’s Neighbor Is Suing Her Because of Her Constant Pot Parties!
UPDATE: Scheana’s rep has released the following statement. “The [Shays] have never received a complaint from a fellow neighbor or building management relating to marijuana smoke stemming from their residence. However, there was a recent issue with a neighboring apartment, which was vacated in December 2015, that had received many complaints. While the [Shays] […]
WWHL With Kristen Doute and Scheana Shay
So last night, I decided that the pairing of Kristen Doute and Scheana Shay needed my full attention so I delayed recapping it until today. Somehow, I still don’t feel quite prepared for this, but here we go. Andy was depressed all day yesterday on Twitter over David Bowie’s death so I expect him […]
Vanderpump Rules Recap: You Probably Think This Show Is About You, Don’t You?
Xanadude Contributing Writer Welcome back to another recap of VanderPump Rules! We open this week with Schwartz visiting LVP at the Pink Palace. Pinky has not had a chance to clean the poop from the bridge and warns Schwartz as he crosses it – she HAS had a chance to add some pink highlights to […]
Vanderpump Rules Recap: What Happened in Vegas
BY: Xanadude The title of this episode is “What Happened in Vegas” and, you know what? Nothing happened, which is pretty much what what needed to happen, since the guys all have pissed off partners at home. No one got pregnant, no one got married, not one chunky sweater was tossed to the ground. […]
Vanderpump Rules Recap: Boys Will Be Boys
By Xanadude Like a between course sorbet, this episode really was nothing more than a palate cleanser after the spit flecked main course of last week. The unpleasantness of James and Jax fighting is quickly dismissed after a hiss from Pinky, who turns her attentions back to the more civilized guests at the table. The […]
Vanderpump Rules Recap
BY XANADUDE (Sorry I forgot the byline in haste to get it up tonight!) Before beginning with the nonsense that is tonight’s VanderPump Rules, takes a minute and check out Covenant House, the charity featured on tonight’s show. No snark about this. I work with underprivileged and homeless kids and teens as well, so […]
Vanderpump Rules: Isn’t Every Day Gay Pride in Weho?
Thoughts By Xanadude It’s the Gay Pride Episode! Last year LVP poured all of her energy into PUMP, leaving poor SUR to an underwhelming and tipless day for the staff. This year Pinky plans on both parties being huge, and has the familiar pre-party angst that so many of us can relate to – what […]
XanaDude’s Thoughts on Tonight’s Vanderpump Rules
By: Xanadude Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome to SUR! Outside it may be winter, but here it is hot! Life is beautiful. The servers are beautiful. Even the bussers are beautiful. One stage tonight, we cannot present Fraulein Sally Bowles, as she has been dead for over fifty years, but we DO have another delusional singer of […]
