    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode of Coffee Meets Vodka, we spill the hottest tea from attending a live taping of Juicy Scoop!

    From the chaos of Real Housewives dating shows to the thrilling news that Dorinda Medley is officially unpaused and ready to bring us a brand-new show at Blue Stone Manor, there's no shortage of Bravo drama.

    But that's not all—Australian breakdancer RayGun taking over the olympics, Gypsy Rose’s gender reveal, and Brooke Schofield’s shocking cancellation are making waves.

    Taylor Swift made the unfortunate call to cancle her Vienna shows after a terroist group threatened concert goers.

    Somebody call me on my flip phone, Y2K IS BACK BABY! A Simple Life reunion is actually in the works and I couldn't be more excited. 

    All of this and more coming up!

  • EP 36: Sherri Papini Doc, Amber Portwood's Fiancé Missing, Kate Middleton In Houston?!

    Send us Fan Mail

    Raya can't believe it; Travis Kelce made an epic debut on the Eras Tour accompanying Taylor Swift on stage during I Can Do It With A Broken Heart. Honestly, so cute. And not only that, Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte attending the Eras Tour at Wembly Stadium. 

    Rumor had it, and then Kensington Palace debunked it, that Princess Catherine was getting cancer treatment at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. Raya would have respectfully stalked if that were the case. Speculation swirled after Kate Middleton was seen at King Charles III birthday. It looked as though she got a face lift? We definitely don't think she's lying about her cancer, but we won't fault the girl for taking advantage of a little nip/tuck! Either way she looks goodT! and we send well wishes to The Princess.

    Amber Portwood's fiance, Gary Wayt, not to get confused with baby daddy to Leah, Gary #1, went missing and then was found. Amber's ex-fiance immediately came to her defense and said she had nothing to do with it. Gary Wayt has since been found alive.

    Raya discusses Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini out now on Hulu. 

    Are JLO and Ben Affleck divorcing? Are Carl Radke and Danielle Olivera hooking up? What was going on with Justin Timberlake during is DUI arrest? It's going to ruin the tour--THE WORLD TOUR!

    All of this and more coming up!

    Raya discusses her experience at James Kennedy's DJ set in Houston, TikToker Halley Kate buying a house in the Hamptons, and the Traitors US season 3 cast announcement, which by the way, the rumormill is saying that Lindsay Hubbard was originally cast for this upcoming season but got replaced with Ciara due to pregnancy rumors. I guess time will tell!

    Sonja Morgan is finally rid of the infamous Manhattan townhome. Bitter-sweet moment. It went to auction and sold for $4.45M at a loss from its original price tag of $9M. 

    Aroma 360, which is heavily advertised by housewives, most recently, Lisa Hochstein, is under fire for scamming people into contracts for thousands of dollars. 

    Wedding dress designer, Hayley Paige, won her lawsuit from JLM Couture, Sofia Richie Grainge had her baby girl named Eloise, North West was cast in Lion King, and TikToker Ali Abulaban was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder.

  • EP 33: Surviving A Texas Sized Tornado, Casual Dating, and Summer House

    Send us Fan Mail

    Raya is on a rant today!

    On the way home from pickle ball, Raya and the team got caught in the Houston tornado! I mean seriously, if there was any indication that Raya should not work out, this is it. Kidding...kind of. Luckily, we all made it home safely but it was terrifying to say the least.

    In other news, what's going on with casual dating? Casual dating at our big age?! PLS. Raya discusses some personal stories that also tie into West looking at relationships as handcuffs which he discusses with ciara. Danielle, CEO & Founder, has settled for balloon guy and made Gabby cry. Carl is overwhelmed and can't communicate well, as he tries to talk to Lindsay about how the conversation with his parents went down at the Jersey Shore

    King Charles III offical portrait has been unveiled and the internet is in a frenzy. Archwell was in default due to not reporting their quarterly findings, but all is good because a source said that the US government lost the check. U.S officials, they're just like us! Lastly, the AI portal between NYC and Dublin has shut down.
