Ages before Scandoval, it was considered a good business decision to open a restaurant with Tom Sandoval. Luckily for Tom Schwartz, that bar opened in 2018, well before the former Tom’s affair with Vanderpump Rules alum Rachel Leviss. So it was well established before the same news took down Schwartz & Sandy’s. But Schwartz wanted to assure patrons and fans that Tom Tom is very much still in business.

Schwartz & Sandy’s opened in November 2022. Months later, the fledgling business was hit with poor reviews and boycotts. The public made it known that they would not support a business owned by Sandoval. Unfortunately, Schwartz was also hit financially by proxy of his business relationship. The bar closed on December 21, 2024.

Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval’s bar TomTom is “popping”

Schwartz took to his Instagram Stories recently to announce that the West Hollywood restaurant is “still popping.” He shared several snaps of the goings-on at Tom Tom. Bravo’s The Daily Dish rounded up the photos.

SUR manager Peter Madrigal made an appearance in one. Schwartz captioned the pick with his former VPR costar “Brunches @ TomTom.”

In another, Schwartz posed with several TomTom patrons and wrote “Saturday hangs” on the image. A third pic of The Valley star and manager Logan Cochran promised that “[Tom Tom] still popping tonight.”

Zack Wickham appeared in one clip, vibing to the music scene. Schwartz captioned it, “[Zack] full range of emotion.” Late DJ Avicii was credited for bringing energy to the place in a final image.

Schwartz reflected on losing Schwartz & Sandy’s on The Valley

It’s a conflicting message to the one he shared on The Valley After Show with Jax Taylor and Jesse Lally. Then, Schwartz spoke about finding “closure” and a “newfound sense of peace” after losing Schwartz & Sandy’s.

“Honestly, I think I’m still processing everything that happened,” he shared. “I’m at least proud to say that I can walk away knowing that I put everything I had into that place,” he said. “Almost all of my money. Lord knows I over-leveraged myself. I feel like we really never were fully accepted or embraced by the neighborhood, but I’m f*cking proud of that place.”

Schwartz continued, “It was like perpetual, constant anxiety — when you’re hemorrhaging money. And you know that this place with your name on the side of the building is not doing as well. Your employees are suffering now. They can’t pay their bills. It’s just a lot.”

Ultimately, Schwartz felt that he was “too soft” prior to opening Schwartz & Sandy’s. He explained, “If anything, now I feel like I have so much more life experience. I have more grit … I feel like I have just a newfound respect and appreciation for life … And I just feel like I’m growing in so many ways.”

Season 2 of The Valley promised to provide a lot of context on Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s split. And even the premiere episode was very revealing. The Vanderpump Rules alum admitted to flying into a rage upon finding out that his estranged wife had been hooking up with a friend of his, and flipped a coffee table that ended up hitting Brittany.

It’s the beginning of rock bottom for Jax. The Valley viewers know that his costars staged an intervention and got him to go into an inpatient mental health clinic. But there was another important person in Jax’s life that encouraged him to seek help. It was revealed in a sneak peek for Episode 2 of the hit VPR spinoff.

The Valley’s Jax Taylor sought treatment after a chat with his sister

The conversation between Jax and his sister was filmed for The Valley Season 2 last summer. He also got support from his buddies on the cast. At the time in July 2024, the VPR alum announced his decision to seek mental health treatment at a facility.

“I’m going to this mental hospital — this mental clinic, or mental health clinic,” Jax confesses to Danny Booko and Jason Caperna in a sneak peek shared exclusively by Bravo’s The Daily Dish. “This place I’ve researched a little bit.”

In the clip, Jax told his costars that he’s “checking in” for an inpatient assessment. He explained, “I’m just trying to wait for this assessment guy. This guy’s supposed to call me back. I’m just getting frustrated. A week long of me having this conversation 50 f*cking times. I get it. I got it. You guys are just on the end of me talking about the same sh*t over and over and over.”

The former VPR star also explained how important it was for him to get his sister’s encouragement on the matter. He said, “It’s tough for me to ask for help. But, I talked to my sister, and she was like, ‘You should go.’”

It seems that Jax was dealing with a lot of serious issues that compounded together. He admitted to having anger issues, but during his stay at the inpatient facility, Jax was officially diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD.

Consequently, at the time of the Episode 2 teaser clip, Jax could only explain to Danny and Jason that, “there’s a lot of issues.”

The Valley streams on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

Teddi Mellencamp had a very special moment at the Wig Fairy recently. The experience clearly made the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum emotional. And the result is that she looks and feels fabulous with her new wig amid the ongoing battle against stage four cancer.

Earlier this year, the accountability coach seemed unsure about her wig situation. The March 2025 Instagram post conducted a poll asking followers whether she should wear the wig or not. Two side-by-side pictures were posted. As it turns out, Teddi seemed to prefer going natural, looking gorgeous either way. But with the new looks from Wig Fairy, the former RHOBH star may be going out more frequently with long hair.

The Wig Fairy shared a video of Teddi’s consultation. The touching clip showed Teddi moved to tears as she put on a wig and had it styled by the consultant.

“Celebrating Teddi’s incredible strength and transparency. We had the honor of helping her find a beautiful new wig after her past experiences left her feeling disappointed. It’s time to change the narrative around wigs,” the caption read.

“I’m really excited,” Teddi said to the stylist as they got the session started. The Two T’s In A Pod podcast cohost wiped away tears as she looked in the mirror.

“This is already so much more comfortable. Oh my gosh, this looks so much better. It actually looks like it’s coming out of my head. Oh, you make me so happy,” she gushed.

The stylist answered, “I’ve been wearing wigs for 15 years, so I get you. When you start feeling good, like looking good, you feel better automatically.”

Teddi did not have high expectations for the appointment. She admitted, “I really thought this was going to be a waste of time. I was gonna be annoyed. But it really feels like my hair.”

The Wig Fairy also boasts a baseball cap-friendly product. The workout enthusiast was very excited about that wig. We can’t wait to see Teddi out with her new looks!

The cost of getting back to better health has skyrocketed for Brandi Glanville. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum has been battling a mystery illness for almost two years. It’s left her in social isolation and struggling with facial swelling and pain.

Brandi feels that she’s dealing with a facial parasite. However, she has not received any official diagnosis despite spending a fortune on doctors, tests, and medications. The former Bravo star shared the updated expenditures during a recent interview.

Brandi Glanville has spent over $113,000 tackling her health issues

“I’m out of funds. I’m out over six figures at this point,” Brandi exclusively told Us Weekly. “I don’t have the means to go anywhere at this point. I’m online every day, going down a different rabbit hole. It’s exhausting. It’s all-consuming.”

Brandi has spent “over $113,000” to date. That includes all the out-of-network costs, separate of her health insurance plan.

“I just wanna find a doctor who makes it, like, his mission to help me,” Brandi continued. “And not just me, [but] these other poor women who have been going through this for so long, and men, too. I’ve had a couple men reach out. I feel for them, like, I know exactly what they’re talking about and the pressure in their head, how they feel it’s gonna explode. I’m at my wits’ end.”

In January, Botched star Dr. Terry Dubrow took biopsies from Brandi’s face. The tests came back negative for cancerous cells. But Terry also tested for microorganisms, suspecting either a microbacterium or a fungus. Those tests would take several months to get results. In addition, Brandi’s gotten CAT scans, MRI, and ultrasounds. All have been inconclusive to explain “whatever’s living in [her] face.”

“So, I went to the best infectious disease doctor, I went to the best allergist,” she explained. “I had to because when you’ve seen every doctor at Kaiser and they’re telling you, ‘Maybe see a dentist.’ And you’re like, ‘I’m at the dentist constantly, [but] there’s a lump in my neck and my throat under my cheekbone that goes to the other side of my face.’”

Brandi continued, “It’s moving down my body, like, literally in my neck now moving on my left shoulder [and] down my arm,” she said. “I have to get up, I have to stretch, I have to get in a hot tub. I have a routine and it sucks.”

Brandi feels like she is living in a “prison”

The social isolation has been the worst for Brandi. She feels her confinement is like a “prison” and is calling it her “lowest moment.” Lately, she’s been feeling “worse than ever.” The reality TV star mourns “missing out on life,” including physical intimacy.

“[My lowest moment is] just not living life and missing out on life,” she shared. “I literally don’t do anything and I feel like I’m experiencing [the] COVID-19 [pandemic lockdown] all over again, but with some miserable side effects.”

The former Bravolebrity added, “I miss socializing with my girlfriends and then having sex with men. I’m a Scorpio. I love sex. So, I was having a lot of it and now I haven’t had any of it and I’m like, ‘Have I forgotten how to kiss?’ But, like, I’ve lost myself. I feel more insecure than I ever have in my life. Normally, I feel fairly secure and I don’t get nervous. I don’t get anxiety about most things. Some things do give me anxiety, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like I lost Brandi.”

There is one respite from all the physical symptoms. Brandi discovered that Cellsound treatment helps her. It’s used cosmetically to rejuvenate skin, increase collagen, and eliminate excess fat cells.

“It’s an ultrasound therapy,” she shared. “It pisses off whatever’s going on there and it gives me reprieve from the pressure and it’s been very helpful.”

Brandi also tried a stem cell treatment, supervised by Dr. Joy Kong. She hailed the treatment for giving her “more energy.”

“Right after [Kong’s treatment], I had more energy. I feel better,” she said. “I mean, it hasn’t helped the looks of anything as of yet, as I’ve only done it once. But I feel like, because my whole body aches, it’s very bizarre.”

Season 2 of The Valley premiered this week. It’s clear that Jax Taylor’s behavior towards his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, was concerning to the rest of the cast. It was also revealed that in a fit of rage, he threw a coffee table, which ended up making contact with Brittany’s knee. This is the move that changed everything.

Jax tried to explain away the issue in his confessionals. His conversations with castmates Jesse Lally and Vanderpump Rules alum Tom Schwartz took on the same tone. And apparently, it gets a lot worse before it gets better.

The Valley Season 2’s Jax Taylor “knows what’s coming for him is bad”

A source told The U.S. Sun that Jax is anticipating a lot of backlash from the public as Season 2 continues. The insider alleged that the VPR alum is in “panic mode” about how his “horrifying” behavior towards Brittany will be displayed.

“Jax has been trying to rally his Vanderpump and Valley costars to his side these past few weeks so they are publicly supportive of him when the season airs,” the insider said. “He knows what’s coming for him is bad, worse than anything he’s ever done, and Jax is f*cking terrified of fans seeing this new season.”

The season premiere was bad enough when it comes to taking personal responsibility. But supposedly, Jax hits further rock bottom before deciding to check himself into a voluntary mental health facility last summer. It was there that he got a bipolar diagnosis.

The insider added, ”Whatever fans think they’re going to see – his behavior is worse. And most of it is caught on camera, the rest is talked about. A lot of viewers will never forgive him for his behavior, and he knows that.”

The source suggested that Jax is in “panic mode” for what is coming. He feels he must now “save his career” against the poor optics.

“At this point, it’s basically turned into girls vs boys, with some of the men taking Jax’s side but all of the women supporting Brittany,” they explained.

It’s a topic that Kyle Richards has had to explain multiple times now. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is again discussing her text thread with PK Kemsley. She already had to defend the issue at the Season 14 reunion, but the topic came up again during an Amazon Live.

PK’s estranged wife Dorit Kemsley was surprisingly gracious about the whole thing. Meanwhile, Kyle proclaimed the innocence of the messages, saying that they were just memes. Well, mostly memes. And just recently, the original RHOBH star revealed the topic of many of the correspondences sent.

Kyle Richards details PK Kemsley texts that rocked RHOBH

During an Amazon Live stream April 8, Kyle explained how her costar Erika Jayne was involved in all of this. It turns out that the topic of much of the material that the producer and PK sent to each other was Tom Girardi’s car accident. RHOBH fans will recall the Season 11 moment when Erika’s son, Tommy Zizzo, helped her estranged husband after the crash.

“There was a time he would send me memes about when Erika had said ‘Tom crashed his car …’ whatever that whole — there were a lot of memes about when she was going on and on and I was just like, ‘In Pasadena?!'” Kyle explained.

Kyle added, “Anyway, he would send me funny things, like parodies, of that.”

However, one text that Kyle sent PK after his split from Dorit was announced in May 2024 landed her in hot water with some of her costars.

“I said, ‘I know you have a lot of friends but I am one and here when you need me. I’ve never repeated anything you’ve shared with me and never would,'” she read during Season 14 Episode 8. “‘Will keep sending memes and won’t forget laughing emojis.’ That is what I wrote to him.”

On Part 2 of the reunion, Kyle clarified the context saying she wanted to check in after news of Dorit and PK’s separation.

“That text to PK was not a random text on a Wednesday. By the way, I’m thinking about you,” the mother-of-four told her costars at the time. “It was only because of the separation. Other than that, we really don’t communicate like that.”

“You and I weren’t speaking, and then I did text you, and you never responded to it,” Kyle then addressed Dorit specifically. “I saw your announcement for your separation, [and] I texted both of you. Period.”

Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s dysfunction was very apparent in Season 1 of The Valley. And with the premiere of Season 2 tonight, fans will get to see the next chapter for the former couple. Now fans will finally see what led to their split.

The Valley Season 2 was filmed over the summer last year. Brittany had already initiated the divorce. She and Jax were trying to figure out their new normal, all while co-parenting their four-year-old son Cruz. Jax went on to reveal a bipolar diagnosis after some issues were made public. Brittany revealed in a recent interview that some of the controlling behaviors Jax exhibited while filming are still ongoing today.

The Valley Season 2 will feature Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor’s tensions

“He very much is still focused on what I’m doing a lot of the time,” Brittany told Us Weekly.

“It’s weird that I still feel like he’s controlling things in my life,” she explained. “He’s super, super controlling in different ways. I feel like I haven’t spoken on how negative things really have been between us.”

Brittany has been accused of over-sharing about her split from Jax. But she feels it’s important to set the record straight, especially considering what the truth will mean to Cruz as he gets older.

She said, “I’m defending myself for things that were said and podcasts and different things. The show’s coming out, and there’s trailers, and there’s this and that.”

The Valley Season 2 trailer hinted at some of the treatment that Brittany endured. For example, in one clip, she claimed Jax had “people watching” her. She also confronted her estranged spouse about an unclaimed thong left on her bathroom sink.

“Things are a lot worse than people think,” Brittany told the news publication. “Just the controlling aspect of everything — wanting to know where I’m at, what I’m doing 24/7. You’ll see throughout the season. They’re gonna be like, ‘Wow. She went through all of this?’ And just because he is trying to be a better person doesn’t mean that it’s actually better.”

“It’s gonna take a long time,” Brittany shared. “It’s just complicated. Whenever you don’t trust somebody anymore and to get that back, it’s gonna be very hard. I don’t think that he realized how much damage he did to me.”

Catch the premiere of The Valley Season 2 April 15 at 9/8c on Bravo.

Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick have long-term plans to leave Los Angeles. The betrothed couple are expecting their first child in June 2025. They previously spoke about their desire to raise their children out of the city during Season One of The Valley.

For his part, Luke prefers the solitude of Colorado. He owns a 90-acre ranch, and the couple already split their time between there and LA. The Bravolebrities also bought land in Indiana. Meanwhile, Kristen is in full nesting mode awaiting the birth of their first child, and clearly weighing the options.

The Valley stars Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick will eventually leave LA

The Valley stars spoke about their plans during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, during which they revealed “absolutely” no desire to stay in LA long-term. Luke was asked if he came to feel at “home” in the city.

“It is for the short term. I don’t know that I’ll ever call it home, but it is where we are for the time being,” he answered.

Kristen agreed, “Yeah, home is just wherever we are. It’s not our permanent home.” Her fiance added, “My home is with Kristen. Unfortunately, we’re in Los Angeles right now.”

The Vanderpump Rules alum is due June 17, and the soon-to-be parents have been in full nesting mode as they await the birth of their daughter. Kristen joked that the to-do list only gets more complex as they work to streamline their home.

“My list keeps getting longer; we’ll put it that way,” Luke said. “The honey-do list keeps getting longer.”

“Collectively, we’ve realized it’s not about getting ready for the baby, like her room or her things, which we are doing. It became more about how do we make the house easier for us? How do we organize for us so when we don’t have time for anything and we’re super tired — as we’ve been told — that everything just kind of falls into place?” Kristen explained.

Wedding plans are on hold for now

Luke and Kristen are content to continue their engagement until the time is right to move forward with a wedding. As it is, The Valley star made such an “elaborate” marriage proposal, that there is little initiative to put into wedding planning.

“I pass the ball into her court,” Luke joked. “Once she’s ready to initiate the planning, we will have more for ya.”

Kristen is thinking the wedding will take a backseat until she’s settled in with her little one. “After baby,” she stated. “Much longer after baby, we will figure it out.”

However, Kristen already knows which of her castmates she will exclude from her guest list. The Valley viewers can safely assume that Jax Taylor will not be invited.

“I mean, they’re not all getting a baby shower or a birthday [invite], so definitely not a wedding invite,” Kristen revealed. “I think after you watch part of the season, you’ll figure it out very quickly [who won’t get invited]. It’s people who — I’ll say they start with a ‘J.’”

Speaking of her costars, Kristen teased Season 2 as a “transitional” time for many of them. That includes separations, divorces, and Kristen’s pregnancy.

“Life is finally happening. It all came to this. Everything I had to go through was for a reason — so I could find [Luke], find our way, and now we’re ready to start the rest of our lives. It’s awesome,” Kristen concluded.

The Valley star is due in June 2025 with the couple’s first baby. As Kristen’s due date draws closer, she decided to share surprising news about her unborn daughter.

The Vanderpump Rules alum successfully kept her pregnancy after undergoing an IUI (intrauterine insemination) procedure. Kristen decided to turn to the help of modern fertility treatments after tragically suffering a miscarriage in early 2023. Thankfully, she’s been enjoying a healthy and active pregnancy this time around.

Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick have a baby name picked out

Kristen and Luke decided to share their baby’s gender with the world, and they also teased their baby daughter’s name. The couple did share that they had a name in mind even before Kristen realized she was pregnant.

“She is named. She has been named since before we got pregnant, and of course, we had to revisit the name and make sure it did feel right, and it did,” Kristen exclusively told People. “And we’ve been calling her that, especially Luke in the beginning.”

“It’s a little weird for me, because I felt like he was talking to a plant, like saying her name, and be like, ‘Oh, you’re growing.’ I was like, ‘This is so weird, you’re not here yet!'” she continued.

Now, the mother-to-be feels more connected to her daughter. She added, “But now it feels like she’s a real baby now, just not out in the world yet.”

Kristen and Luke announced they were having a daughter at the end of 2024

In December 2024, Kristen and Luke announced that they were expecting a girl. The duo were “so excited” with the news.

“Luke and I are so thrilled to be having a little girl, which honestly was unexpected because I was convinced we were having a boy!” Kristen said at the time. “To find out in the way that we did, to have Brittany [Cartwright] be the one who shared the news from our doctor could not have been more perfect. It was really special to have our family and friends from out of town ‘be there’ virtually.”

Referring to her June 2025 due date, she added, “We are so excited for this next chapter in our lives together and to soon welcome our baby girl next summer.”

Catch the premiere of The Valley April 15 9/8c on Bravo.

Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula shared their relationship with Summer House viewers since the premiere season. After rekindling their relationship at the end of Season 1, they were engaged the following year. The duo were off again after Kyle admitted to cheating on Amanda. Ultimately, the reality TV stars decided to fully commit to one another and tied the knot in September 2021.

So with all those milestones shared onscreen, it makes sense why fans are interested to know if and when Kyle and Amanda will decide to become parents. It’s something they’ve been considering for several seasons now. And the Loverboy founder recently teased where they’re currently at in considering parenthood.

Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula are prioritizing  “mental health” when it comes to family

In an exclusive interview with First For Women, Kyle admitted that he and his wife have put baby planning to the side. Instead, the duo have two “little fur babies to kind of hold us over.”

The Summer House stars started fostering their rescue dogs Reese and Ryder shortly after their wedding. They officially adopted the duo in February 2022. And it’s enough for now.

For her part, Amanda has a lot going on with her new swimsuit line. During Season 9 of Summer House, she also spoke honestly about needing to focus on her mental health. Adding kids to the equation now would not be optimal for the couple.

“We actually have a couple of conversations on camera coming up in this season, but ultimately, we kind of wanted to prioritize her mental health,” Kyle stated. “I feel like I’ve got so much going on with my business. And candidly, the dogs are a lot.”

As ever, Kyle is focused on expanding his Loverboy brand. He explained, “We’re focused on still getting Loverboy some distribution. We love doing collabs at Loverboy, so we’ve teamed up with a few different companies. It keeps things fresh, and it keeps things fun.”

Catch Summer House Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
