Pop 3:
Jax Taylor confirmed he’s stepping away from his LA bar, Jax’s Studio City, to focus on sobriety and mental health. Sam McKinney and Alli Jo Hinkes hard-launched their relationship on Instagram, even though they never crossed paths on Bachelor in Paradise. And Love Island's Cierra Ortega announced she won’t attend the reunion, saying she feels hurt and invisible after being iced out by Nic and Olandria.

Deep Dive:
Love Island USA power couple JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez shocked fans when their breakup went public after a wave of unfollows following David Dobrik’s party. JaNa later suggested the entire relationship had been fake, while her friends came forward with serious accusations against Kenny—including racism, clout-chasing, and manipulation. Kenny’s vague response didn’t sit well, prompting JaNa to fire back and call him out directly. The drama quickly spiraled, revealing just how deep—and messy—things really were.

Final Thoughts:
Kaylor and Aaron might still have something. Miguel and Leah are absolutely end game. Serena and Kordell need more screen time. We’re not done with these villa couples yet.

POP 3: 
Cierra Ortega threw shade at Nic post-Love Island, calling him out for never liking her and wanting her friend instead. Blake Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni heats up as she faces backlash for subpoenaing online critics. Erik Menendez is hospitalized ahead of his parole hearing, and his lawyer is pushing for emergency release.

DEEP DIVE:
Bachelor in Paradise feels fresh with a new showrunner, $500k prize, and wild drama: Justin, Susie, Lexi, and Jeremy are in chaos, Kat confronts Dale over a secret kiss, and the Goldens bring fun and surprises—April and Jonathon might be a thing, and Gary’s winning hearts.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
Nick Viall and Natalie Joy hosts Age of Attraction (Netflix, 2026), a dating show for singles ages 22–59. Colton Underwood and Kaitlyn Bristowe host Are You My First? (Hulu, Aug 18), following virgins exploring love and intimacy in paradise.

Pop 3:
Justin Bieber drops a surprise album, SWAG, and fans are wondering if the recent chaos was all part of the plan. Scheana Shay reveals Brock cheated while she was pregnant, and the timing has fans side-eyeing her whole Sandoval redemption arc. Sara and Joey from Love Is Blind hard launch their relationship, and the timeline? Messy.

Deep Dive:
The Love Island USA finale delivered—Amaya and Bryan win (as they should), Huda and Chris implode, Nic and Olandria feel rushed, and Chelley and Ace get cut over rumors they knew each other. We’re recapping every couple and asking: will the reunion actually address the Nic and Cierra of it all?

Final Thoughts:
Paige DeSorbo is reportedly dating Joe D’Amelio after being spotted in Italy. She’s off reality TV (for now), and honestly, she seems happy. Let her live her soft-launch life. If she’s going to football games, it’s real.

Pop 3: Blake Lively is set to be deposed July 17 in her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni. Denise Richards is headed for divorce as Aaron Phypers files and requests spousal support. Bachelor in Paradise returns with a long overdue glow-up. 

Deep Dive: This week’s Love Island drama kicked off with the Maybelline challenge, where America showed major love for Amaya and Pepe—and not much for Chelley, Ace, Taylor, or Clarke. That tension spilled into the bottom six vote, where Cierra chose to save Taylor, drawing backlash for not backing her bestie’s man. Days later, she was removed from the villa after a resurfaced IG story revealed her using a racial slur. The fallout raised questions about accountability, cancel culture, and how production handles controversy.

Final Thoughts: The Golden Bachelor, Mel Owens is facing backlash over a past podcast, and while Reality Steve says he’s out, others insist ABC is sticking by him.

Pop 3: Diddy was found not guilty on the major charges of sex trafficking and racketeering but convicted on two lesser counts under the Mann Act. Blake Lively reportedly subpoenaed several podcasters, including Candace Owens, who claims she hasn’t been served. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish Venice wedding drew big names and big backlash for its extravagance.

Deep Dive: The SLOMW reunion delivered drama, receipts, and a powerful moment from Connor, who opened up about childhood trauma that reframed his past actions. Demi was a no-show, Jessi dodged questions, and unresolved tensions still linger.

Final Thoughts: Love Island USA is falling flat. No one seems in love, the challenges are over-the-top, and Amaya is the only islander putting her heart on the line.

Pop 3: Baldoni’s lawyer misses a major deadline, Tom Sandoval makes his musical debut on AGT, and the SLOMW reunion trailer has us wondering who actually showed up. Deep Dive time: Love Island USA descends into full-blown mess—jealous boys, smart moves, and a Casa twist no one saw coming. Final Thoughts: The Beyond the Villa teaser just dropped and we’re watching Kaylor navigate drama with Liv and Aaron.

Pop 3: Justin Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and others has been dismissed, along with his $250 million suit against The New York Times. The court ruled the claims were legally protected and the reporting was fair. Plus, Demi Engemann reveals she skipped the Sister Wives of Mormon reunion because of a long-planned Disneyland trip, and another Love Is Blind split — Lydia and Milton are officially divorcing, and Lydia is opening up about what went wrong. For the Deep Dive, I’m joined by Kate Riccio to unpack the State of the Summer House — Paige is leaving, Lexi’s not coming back, and it’s starting to feel like the beginning of the end. We’re breaking down all the reunion drama and what’s next for the cast. In Final Thoughts, I react to the Bachelor in Paradise cast announcement and my complete shock seeing Dale Moss on the list.

Pop 3: Blake Lively drops two emotional distress claims in her lawsuit against It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni. Taylor Swift's subpoena is dropped, thanks to papa Swift. JoJo Siwa confirms she’s officially dating Celebrity Big Brother UK co-star Chris Hughes.

Deep Dive: Love Island USA is back, the app crashed, and the episode was almost two hours long... but we survived! I’m breaking down the premiere, early couple chemistry, red flags, and Ariana Madix absolutely crushing it as host.

Honorable Mention: Early Summer House season 10 rumors are swirling. Paige might be out, Lindsay might pop in and out, and I make my case for why Lexi has to come back.

Hailey, meanwhile, opens up about her real life, her happy marriage, and how she’s done letting negativity into her space. Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are hitting back at Justin Baldoni’s defamation lawsuit, calling it a “clickbait ploy,” while Baldoni’s team insists they have a “mountain of evidence.” Ariana Madix and Scheana Shay speak on where their friendship stands today, and it ain't great.

This week’s deep dive is all about SLOMW Season 2: We are dissecting the season's biggest moments: Taylor's family barbecue, the fall of Demi, Jen & Zac, Vanderpump Villa & Marciano.
