According to Bravo’s teaser clip, Below Deck Season 12 is on the horizon, though no specific date has yet been announced. Bravo promises, “Captain Kerry Titheradge, Fraser Olender, and Kyle Stillie return for a wild season that includes tense work dynamics, tangled love triangles, and a shocking rumor.”

So, business as usual then on Below Deck. Can’t wait!

Watch the Below Deck Season 12 trailer below

The clip starts out hot with Captain Kerry calling maritime police to report “an emergency on the boat.”

In a voiceover from a charter guest, someone says, “I can’t believe this sh*t. They’re canceling the charter.” As crew members wipe away tears, the guest adds, “F*ck you, Captain!” Yikes. You can’t speak to Captain Kerry that way. Have some respect!

“There’s on authority on this boat, and it’s me,” Kerry explains to the guests. “I’m not f*cking around.”

The Below Deck crew is in Saint Maarten this season. At first, I thought that was a spelling error. But my friend Google tells me, “Sint Maarten is located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea … in the Lesser Antilles. It occupies the southern portion of the island of Saint Martin.”

In addition to charter guest altercations, the trailer highlights lost luggage, fire dancers, pillow fights, and fire dancers. Meanwhile, a disembodied voice tells the servers, “You take this, whatever the f*ck this was, and you bring back something I like.” So rude.

Normally unflappable Fraser tells a guest, “Drink your drink and shut up until you get yours.” Whoa. That’s a first.

In a confessional, Fraser adds, “I’m gonna blow this bitch out of the water.”

Meanwhile, another crew member interviews, “I definitely have Peter Pan syndrome. I don’t ever want to grow up.” Isn’t that what yacht life is all about?

When a crew member catches her co-worker swigging a glass of wine, she tells her, “We do not drink on charter.”

Also a group of porn stars charter the boat, so Bravo was kept busy blurring out all the nudity. Must have been fun for the crew.

 The new chef comments, “Everyone thinks that chefs are angry all the time. But once you get the Holy Spirit inside of you, God changes you into a different person.” But when things get tense in the galley, the chef asks, “Is this a f*cking joke?”

Mishaps with baggage, a close encounter with a concrete wall and someone gets fired. As dramatic music plays, onscreen we see the words, “On the open seas, tensions are hot, and love is a dangerous game.” Lots of kissing between members of the crew, regardless of gender.

But the big surprise is that Captain Kerry accuses a crewmember of “banging a charter guest.” Wasn’t Kate Chastain believed to have hooked up with a guest back in the day?

Below Deck Season 12 returns June 2 on Bravo.

Jax Taylor suggests that The Valley Season 2 could rival any daytime soap opera. The new season will have two divorces and one engagement, as well as rehab and cheating allegations. All that’s missing is an evil twin.

“This is the craziest season of reality TV ever,” Jax shared. Finally confronting his years of cocaine and alcohol abuse, the Vanderpump Rules alum checked into a mental health facility while dealing with the breakup of his marriage to Brittany Cartwright.

While some Valley families are falling apart, others are growing. Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick are expecting their first child in June, while Danny and Nia Booko have a fourth baby on the way. Keep reading to find out what the cast has to say about Season 2.

Jax Taylor promises huge things on The Valley Season 2

Recently, the cast sat down with In Touch to spill some Season 2 tea. When asked who brings the most drama to the show, Jax and Janet Caperna were tied for the title of Drama Queen.

“I spent most of the season in a mental health facility,” Jax explained, “so I wasn’t there. But it’s safe to say my situation with Brittany will be the toughest to watch.”

For her part, Kristen is just happy her name didn’t come up. Although, Jason Caperna observed, “Kristen loves to stir the pot and walk away while the soup is boiling.”

Jesse Lally believes his now-estranged wife Michelle Lally was cheating on him before they filed for divorce. “A lot of new information has come to my attention, and it’s disappointing to learn, but you move on,” he shared.

It will be interesting to see if Jax’s behavior is any different in Season 2, now that he professes to be sober. “Every day is a challenge,” he admitted. “I take things one day at a time. Otherwise, it can feel too overwhelming. My goal is to continue making good choices and trying to be the best father and role model for my son.”

“Brittany has lost a lot of trust in me, which I can’t blame her for,” he added. “She controls the shots and has [their four-year-old son] Cruz the majority of the time. When I get to spend time with him, I don’t take a second for granted.”

Meanwhile, Brittany just wants Cruz to be safe and happy. “More than anyone in this world, I want Jax to get better.” she said. “Right now, it’s too soon to say. Time will tell. Despite everything, Cruz is such a happy little boy and I’m so thankful for that.”

Cast talks babies, engagements and disappearing wedding rings on The Valley Season 2

In Season 2, both Kristen and Nia are expecting babies, Kristen’s first and Nia’s fourth. When In Touch asked how Nia felt going through her pregnancy at the same time as Kristen, she answered, “I’m so excited. We’ll be attending sensory classes together [with the babies] for sure!”

Kristen’s bestie, Zack Wickham, is down to support the pregnant ladies, “Emotionally, physically, spiritually—basically every ‘ally’ there is. That’s what best friends do!”

Kristen’s fiancée Luke proposed on a group trip to Mexico, which will be shown on the show. In addition, Jasmine Goode recently became engaged to her girlfriend of three years, Melissa Marie. When In Touch asked how wedding planning is going, she responded, “Great! We’re having so much fun planning our wedding.”

But on a darker note, Kristen accused Jason of not always wearing his wedding ring. “I love Janet and our son more than anything,” Jason argued. “[I] would never do anything to risk losing their trust. Always consider the source when hearing a rumor!”

The Valley airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Once again, Kelly Clarkson fans are concerned about the singer’s whereabouts after missing another episode of her talk show. Andy Cohen surprised fans by hosting another episode of the show, marking Kelly’s eleventh absence of 2025. The situation has everyone asking the same question: What’s going on with The Kelly Clarkson Show?

Andy Cohen hosted The Kelly Clarkson Show in Kelly’s absence

When Kelly first went MIA, she had a slew of guest hosts filling in on the show. Andy hosted an episode. They had Brooke Shields fill in for a bit. It was truly a hodgepodge of celebs, yet somehow, everyone remained tight-lipped on why Kelly was absent from the show.

Kelly re-emerged on March 21 to celebrate her show’s 1000th episode. She delivered an emotional speech to commemorate the milestone, but still, no details about why she missed so many days of the show.

On April 21, Andy showed up on The Kelly Clarkson Show for a second time to fill in for Kelly. That prompted Kelly’s fans to assume that she was preparing to take another extended break, however, we believe this may have been a one-off.

Last month, Andy told his listeners on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live that he filmed multiple episodes of The Kelly Clarkson Show. One of those episodes already aired, and since Kelly’s show isn’t filmed live, we can confirm that the April 21 episode has been sitting in the vault for a few weeks.

However, Kelly isn’t off the hook. Questions are still lingering about why she missed so many episodes in the first place. A report from NewsNation suggested that her absence was related to her ex-husband and former manager, Brandon Blackstock.

“Her ex-husband is sick and she took the kids to see him,” an anonymous source claimed.

Until we hear it from Kelly, we’ll take that with a grain of salt. In the meantime, we’re wishing her and Brandon the best.

The Kelly Clarkson Show airs on weekdays on over 200 stations.

The first five seasons of Below Deck Mediterranean feel like a fever dream now. During this era, Hannah Ferrier reigned supreme as the chief stew of this series. Then, Hannah had to walk the plank. Thankfully, Hannah is (currently) thriving, courtesy of her adorable family and an incredible new career update.

Hannah Ferrier is enjoying life post-Below Deck Med, and has a career update

On Thursday, April 17, Hannah announced her new representation and partnership with The Digital Renegades, an agency that covers a variety of influencers and stars like Hannah. This same agency also represents Captain Sandy Yawn, Hannah’s former boss. Thankfully, these two have made amends since Hannah’s firing.

The announcement for Hannah’s new career gig starts with a cheer, saying, “We are so excited to welcome [Hannah] to The Digital Renegades!” Then, this agency gave a quick recap of her services on BDM before continuing their announcement, stating, “With over five seasons on the show, Hannah quickly became a fan favorite thanks to her sharp wit, leadership skills, and unfiltered personality. Before stepping into the spotlight, Hannah spent over a decade working in the luxury yachting industry, where she honed her expertise in hospitality and high-end service. After leaving Below Deck Med in 2020, she transitioned into podcasting and entrepreneurship.”

After leaving BDM behind, Hannah started a podcast, Dear Reality, You’re Effed! She is also the founder of Ocean International Training Academy, which The Digital Renegades noted in their post. Likewise, she is a mother, a wife, and a friend to many, so her plate is full and overflowing with positive storylines these days.

The Digital Renegades then labeled Hannah “an influential voice in parenting and lifestyle content, frequently sharing glimpses into her life as a mother on social media. With a global following and a magnetic presence, Hannah Ferrier continues to make waves in entertainment, business, and digital media.” In the comments, Hannah celebrated, typing, “So excited.”

Cheers, Hannah!

Below Deck Mediterranean is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

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.”

Tzarina Mace-Ralph is having a rough go in Season 3 of Below Deck Down Under. She is on her second sous-chef, but tensions are starting to mount between this duo. Likewise, she and Lara Rigby are also feuding. Now, Tzarina is beginning to feel like this crew is pushing her out.

Tzarina Mace-Ralph was the topic of conversation on Below Deck Down Under

Episode 12 just aired on Bravo. Alesia Harris called Tzarina out for her poor communication skills. Then, Alesia entered a cabin to discuss this narrative with two other crew members. Unfortunately, Tzarina overheard their remarks, and their words greatly stung her heart.

Several beats before and after, Tzarina exchanged equally frustrating words with Lara. Lara wanted an excursion to go off without a hitch, which meant she thought Tzarina needed to attend. Tzarina reluctantly agreed, yet she only stayed a few minutes because her list of responsibilities back on board was long.

After Tzarina left this excursion at a local distillery, Alesia, Lara, and Brianna Duffield grew closer. Back on board, Lara praised Alesia for her work. But then, Alesia and Tzarina encountered the aforementioned communication roadblock, which led Alesia to seek comfort outside the galley with Lara and Bri.

“I don’t know if Lara is trying to mess with me right now, but she seems like she’s grooming my sous chef to be against me. And that’s not a friend. She should be supporting me,” Tzarina said in her confessional.

Sadly, things did not improve after this statement. By the end of BDDU Season 3, Episode 12, Tzarina sighs, sadly expressing in a separate confessional, “You just don’t give a sh*t about me.”

If you ask around, Lara is just as guilty of shady behaviors this season on BDDU. Now, hug it out, ladies.

Below Deck Down Under continues Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

Being a reality TV star has its perks. Because of his Vanderpump Rules fame, Tom Schwartz has been able to make his mark as a restaurateur. He teamed up with his former VPR co-star and close friend Tom Sandoval on multiple bars in California. Whether those businesses were successful, though, is debatable.

But, despite their short-lived Schwartz & Sandy’s bar that closed in 2024, and a big renovation project over at TomTom that is seen as a major downgrade, Schwartz is not leaving the world of bar management. In fact, he’s partnering up with The Valley star Jax Taylor to take his newest business to the next level.

Tom Schwartz will help “promote once in a while” at Jax Taylor’s bar

Schwartz was a recent guest on the In the Mind of Jax Taylor podcast. It was during this segment that Tom and Jax discussed Studio City, the bar Jax opened up back in October 2023.

Once supported by his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, this partnership fell apart when they broke up months later. Now, Jax is looking for someone to help keep the bar afloat, and Schwartz is up for the job.

“It’s hard on your sleeping habits if you’re running, managing a bar. And that’s why, if you see me, I’m helping promote once in a while here and there. I’ll pop in and help you out. I know you need to step away more often,” Schwartz said in the April 17 episode.

Jax is excited to have Tom onboard and even wants him to be involved in the place’s overall design in an upcoming renovation plan.

“I think you have a lot of really good taste. And I want to incorporate that into the new bar.”

The Valley is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

Two years ago, Bo Dietl stepped into the spotlight on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. The private investigator and friend of Luis Ruelas supposedly had dirt on everybody. Now, he’s been appointed by Donald Trump to serve on the Homeland Security Advisory Council. It’s wild, but it’s just another example of the undeniable fact that all roads lead back to Bravo.

Bo Dietl has bigger problems than RHONJ’s Luis Ruelas now

Bo isn’t just a private investigator, he’s also a retired NYPD officer and podcaster who’s been floating around the political sphere for years. For example, he ran for New York City mayor in 2017 and got around 1% of the vote.

In Season 13 of RHONJ, Bo became a central part of the drama when Luis threatened to send him after his wife’s enemies. A few months later, that dynamic duo got sued for allegedly hacking computers to get information about Luis’ ex. She accused them of “harassment and abuse.”

With that impressive resume, our former reality star president decided that Bo needed to bring his talents to the federal government. He announced the news with a congratulatory post on his social media site, Truth Social. Try not to roll your eyes too hard while reading this.

“I am proud to announce the formation of my revamped Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC), which is comprised of Top Experts in their field, who are highly respected by their peers,” Trump began.

“It is a big honor to serve on HSAC, and I know the new Members, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, Mark Levin, Bo Dietl, and Joseph Gruters, will do an incredible job,” he added.

So, what exactly will Bo be doing in this new role? According to Trump, this group will be “developing new policies and strategies” to help “secure” the borders of the United States. We’ll see how that goes.

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.”

We’ve all seen the video of Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp caught up in an argument with a random lady walking her dogs on the street. In the video, it looked like Kyle was about three seconds away from getting squished, but we were left with so many questions. Who was this lady, and what the hell did she do to make The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star go off?

Fortunately, Teddi took to her Diamonds in the Rough podcast with Erika Jayne to fill in the blanks about what happened. Apparently, Kyle felt upset when she saw the woman mistreating her dogs. Things went downhill from there.

Teddi Mellencamp says the dog owner fighting with Kyle Richards was “inappropriate”

“We’re walking on this side of the street, and we see this woman, and it’s clear she’s mistreating her dogs,” Teddi began during the April 18 episode of Diamonds in the Rough.

Teddi continued, “Kyle — in a polite way — says, ‘Can you please treat your dogs a little nice?’ And then the woman went frickin’ rogue.”

According to Teddi, the woman in the video was being “completely inappropriate to her dogs.” She didn’t specify what exactly she did, but whatever it was, it tugged on Kyle’s heartstrings.

“It was scary,” Teddi continued. “I knew it was gonna set Kyle off because Kyle has a heart.”

In the viral video showing the confrontation, the dog owner locked onto Kyle. Meanwhile, the RHOBH star was bouncing around the sidewalk, hiding behind Teddi, and filming the entire thing on her phone.

We appreciate Teddi for spilling the tea on what caused the confrontation. However, we’re still hoping Kyle drops the footage she filmed on her phone. We need to see the showdown from her POV.
