Nene Leakes is having a good and bad month all at once. Her new podcast has already been shelved, stopped and put on the back burner. That said, Miss Leakes has announced her new very own solo YouTube show. We have been down this road before with Nene but so far the show seems to be going well as Nene’s bid to return to RHOA grows stronger. Speaking of RHOA, this new season continues to shine with Shamea the fan fav breakout, Brit shunned by the cast and fans and Kenya promising we have not seen the last of her. #staytuned Rumors gain traction that Candiace Dillard will be returning to RHOP when it is taken off pause.  Louie Ruelas is accused of new TikTok “scams”, a whole slew of new Bravo shows are expected to drop next month and Ryan Reynolds makes a motion to dismiss Justin Baldoni’s lawsuit against him as more strange facts about Blake Lively arise by the hour.

Last week we had a run in with Morgan Wade, a sighting out in the wild. Today, we break down that tete a tete, discuss the Kyle and Teddi of it all and explain what happens next.  Speaking of Miss Wade, Garcelle continues to question Kyle to come out, come out wherever she is and tell us, because you are on a reality show, what is really going on. Erika Jayne points out that Garcelle shares nothing about her own life and the rest of the diamond holders continue to break up and make up which leads to our discussion on just who will and will not be back next season on RHOBH.  Terry Durbow reveals shocking new info, Tamra Judge continues to film the new season of RHOC and last, but certainly not least, Bethenny Frankel offers divorce, co-parenting and life advice to Kim Kardashian as Kim’s situation with Kanye gets stranger and more bizarre by the day.

In a move that we certainly did not expect, Craig Conover becomes the new Teresa Giudice with a cast, as evidenced by the Southern Charm Reunion, that is afraid to work with, speak back to or cross him. It is Craig’s way or the highway and that seems to apply not just to his SC cast mates but to ex GF Paige DeSorbo who is spilling the piping hot tea on what dating Craig was really like. Tamra Judge is back to work on the OC as if she never had a breakdown, claimed her mental health was at jeopardy and ran away from a cast trip as fast as you can blink.  What really caused Tamra’s exit and was it all staged for attention and publicity? Four new Bravo Pods have dropped and we have the tea on all of them. Erin Lichy, Brynn Whitfield, Gia Giudice and Michelle Saniei, we are taking to you. Lala Kent and her ex assistant are speaking out again regarding their breakup and we are so here for it. Finally, RHOM is on the verge of returning with a new cast and trailer that is expected to drop in 3,2,1…

Andy Cohen breaks his silence, responds and makes his official statement regarding the rumors, and nastiness, that he will be stepping down from Bravo next month. Louie Ruelas is rumored to be hit with a new $2.7 million dollar tax bill, receipts and all. Teresa fails to respond to these new alleged financial and legal woes of her loving husband, but does talk more about her RHONJ future come early next year. Speaking of RHONJ, Kathy Wakile hangs out with Margaret Josephs and, with everything else in her life going fine, leaves the internet to wonder, is she ready for and preparing to return to RHONJ. Joey Gorga faces set backs this week but solves his problems rapidly, RHOA continues to dazzle with Shamea the star and Sonja Morgan talks new BS which, shocker, does not make any sense at all.

This episode of The Oprah Podcast features special guest Maria Shriver, an Emmy and Peabody award-winning journalist, former national news anchor, seven-time New York Times best-selling author and a world-renowned women’s health and Alzheimer’s research advocate. Maria Shriver, who has been dear friends with Oprah since they met nearly 50 years ago, joins the Podcast to talk about her new book of poetry titled I AM MARIA: My Reflections and Poems on Heartbreak, Healing, and Finding Your Way Home. After reading the breathtaking book, Oprah said Maria Shriver “has Americans reading poetry again!” And she called it “raw and soul-baring… My jaw was on the floor!” Through poetry, Maria Shriver, who was born into American political royalty and public tragedy, shares never-before-heard intimate stories from her childhood including what it was like growing up with her mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, and her father, Sargent Shriver, as well as being the only girl in a household of brothers she calls “chaotic” and “terrifying.”

Maria candidly talks about her 25-year marriage to Arnold Schwarzenegger and what happened the moment she found out her marriage was over. Maria shares lessons on what the betrayal and heartbreak of her divorce taught her about her past traumas and how she’s been able to find forgiveness. Maria writes about raising her four children, her favorite role of all – grandmother to Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger’s three children (they call her Mama G) - and how she’s finally found peace. Maria says, “I never imagined writing poetry would help me embark on a journey deep into myself. I never imagined that everything I sought or thought I needed was within me all along.” Oprah tells viewers and listeners she sees this book of poetry as an invitation for anyone who is ready to create an authentic and meaningful life for themselves.

Introducing Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco EXCLUSIVE: Their Love Story Like You’ve Never Heard Before from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

How did Selena and Benny first meet?

What makes their love story unique?

On today’s episode of On Purpose, Jay sits down with global superstar Selena Gomez and acclaimed music producer Benny Blanco where they share their love story like they never have before. They open up about their personal journey—one that didn’t start with an immediate spark.

Their story is full of humor, mixed signals, and that moment when it all clicked. Benny once thought Selena didn’t like him, while Selena, protecting her heart, kept her distance. But as their friendship grew, they built something real—a relationship rooted in trust, respect, open communication, and always supporting each other. Their story is a true testament that love unfolds when the timing is right.

Together, Jay, Selena, and Benny reflect on the power of embracing love, letting go of past fears, and choosing a partner who helps you grow. Their journey serves as a beautiful reminder that love often comes when you least expect it—but when it’s right, you’ll know.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Build a Strong Friendship Before Dating

How to Communicate Openly in a Relationship

How to Maintain Trust in a Long-Distance Relationship

How to Support Your Partner’s Emotional Needs

How to Balance a Busy Career with a Healthy Relationship

Selena and Benny’s story reminds us that true love isn’t defined by grand gestures or perfection—it’s about finding someone who sees you for who you are, supports you through life’s challenges, and makes even the simplest moments feel special.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
