Annemarie Wiley is out. RIP to yet another one season wonder in the housewives world. We break down Annemarie’s statement, analyze the mistakes that were made, discuss what was edited out and why this decision seemed inevitable. With Annmarie out, we break down all the rumors - and nastiness, thank you Meredith Marks - that have been circulating on line about Camille, Denise, Eileen Davidson, Lisa Rinna and Kathy Hilton being considered for a return separating fact from ridiculous fiction. We share all our hot takes on who will return next season, what next season will most likely look like, why Kyle Richards may be in for a very nice surprise and more.  Next we discuss Lisa Rinna’s recent statement that she will never, ever, ever return to RHOBH, the return of Buying Beverly Hills and why Mauricio is smiling ear to ear these days.

The RHONJ Reunion is cancelled. We woke up to over one thousand DM’s asking if we were going to cover this. Today, we hop on here for a rundown of the cancellation of the RHONJ reunion. We address how we got here, the cast's constant interviews that this season was not sustainable and Teresa’s constant interviews that she will never, ever speak to Melissa again. We next address, what will be happening in place of a reunion, what affect, if any, the RHONJ bloggers and toxic off line behaviors have had in leading to this cancellation, what this means for the future of RHONJ, which cast members will be terminated, which, if any, will keep their high paying jobs, what this means for the future of Housewives as a whole and last, but certainly not least, what spin offs we can expect as a result of this cancellation. Is the future so bright we have to wear shades or is today a day of reckoning where we have to put denial aside and face some hard truths.

Jackie Tohn steps Behind The Rope. Best known for her breakout performance as Melanie “Melrose” Rosen on Netflix’s award winning, critically acclaimed masterpiece “Glow”, Jackie stops by to share it all.  Early in her career Jackie appeared on many of our favorite shows such as “The Sopranos”, “Veronica Mars”, “Strangers With Candy”, not the least of which was “The Nanny”, in which she played a young Fran Drescher. She talks famous friends such as Kristen Bell and Jessica Biel, comedic inspiration Joan Rivers and appearing on the iconic Howard Stern Show. Jackie also chats about her singing abilities, those abilities which led her to the semi finals on “American Idol” and Bravo’s very own “Platinum Hit” (Kara DioGuardi, we see you!). Jackie shares stories from behind the scenes on Glow, chats about the disappointment when Season 4 was indefinitely shelved due to lockdown and hints at what the future holds for the un-filmed season and possible Glow movie (what a wish!).  We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Jackie Tohn.

JACKIE TOHN (on GLOW, Bravo, American Idol, Howard Stern, Joan Rivers & The Nanny)

RHONJ Season 14, Episode 4. How are we only at Episode 4? Is anyone bored yet? Ok, ok, we will keep it positive. Jackie and Margaret’s friendship starts to show cracks as we find ourselves back, once again, at Dolores’ annual softball game.  Teresa and Melissa are still not speaking, Jennifer is up to her old shady tricks and this time her target is Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda shows up, cries and shows up again. Our attention next turns to all that is going on off air between Marge, Melissa, Tre, Jen and the rest of our fav New Jerz residents. All this and more with our very own Teresa Giudice (and Kourtney Kardashian) as played by the one and only Andrea Lopez!!

RHONJ Lowest Rated Season Ever, Margaret Josephs’ True Colors & Jennifer, Danielle, Jackie & Other Friendships Fractured

Simon and Porsha continue to fight over their mansion, sling the shade on social and involve RHOA producers and Bravo as Porsha tries to film the new season of the Atl now that she has regained her peach.  Heading west, apparently everyone in town - Jeff Lewis, Lisa Vanderpump and the rest of the RHOBH cast - knew about PK and Dorit’s separation.  We break down their separation, discuss the likelihood of them reconciling and check in with the current season of RHOBH filming.  Kyle and Morgan step out amidst fan fare and paparazzi, continue to dodge direct questions about their status and smile knowing we all have something to say. RHONJ moves along with the lowest ratings in RHONJ history, Kathryn Dennis tries to bounce back after her shocking DUI arrest, Ariana and Katie move on and much, much more.
