#RHOA: ‘RHOBH’ Alum Brandi Glanville Says ‘RHOA’ Star Kenya Moore ‘Lived up to Her Diva-Ness’ on ‘Family Reunion’!
Brandi Glanville was once a star on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Since departing the Bravo series, Glanville has done other reality shows which includes The Celebrity Apprentice. On the latter, Glanville found herself feuding with Kenya Moore of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Both housewives recently coincided on the set of Family Reunion and Glanville says Moore “lived up to her diva-ness.”
Glanville and Moore crossed paths once again when they both guest-starred on the Netflix series Family Reunion. The former RHOBH star would be playing a version of herself alongside Moore and Candiace Dillard from The Real Housewives of Potomac. Glanville said that when her manager called her about the role, she “was nervous because of Kenya.”
“I was like, it’s been a long time, maybe we can do it and work together and be fine,” Glanville told ET. “It was fun. I mean, in the beginning, when I walked in the morning, I was on time, but everyone was already there — and I had gone to the wrong stage, but I was still on time — and she said, ‘Nice of you to make it.’ And I was like, oh no, we’re starting like this? But it was fine.”
Despite the snarky comment from Moore, there was no big drama but she did notice the Atlanta peach living up to her diva status.
“She lived up to her diva-ness a little bit, with, like, asking everyone to get her tea constantly, even like the producer,” Glanville spilled. “I’m like, ‘I think that’s your boss. I don’t think he’s going to get you tea.'”
Glanville enjoyed her time appearing on the sitcom and gave Moore accolades for doing a “great job” on the show.

#NewCoupleAlert? Brad Pitt Reportedly 'Flirted' And 'Exchanged Numbers' With Andra Day!
Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt was spotted flirting with actor Andra Day at the Oscars this year, it was reported on Sunday.
According to the latest buzz, the Golden Boy of Hollywood seemed to have exchanged numbers with Day at the star-packed event in Los Angeles in April.
Pitt was presenting at the ceremony while Day was nominated for Best Actress that night for her role as Billie Holiday in The United States vs. Billie Holiday.
A source spilled the tea to The Mirror, saying: "They were flirting backstage and are believed to have swapped numbers. It could be just professional, but some of Brad’s pals have been talking about what a great couple they would make."
The news comes only days after the hunk was awarded the right to have joint custody of his children with ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
GoFundMe Page for 'RHOSLC' Star Jen Shah Taken Down Within 24 Hours!
A GoFundMe page for ‘The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’ star Jen Shah was taken down by the fundraising site after just 24 hours.
via Page Six: Shah and an alleged accomplice have been accused of fleecing some $5 million from unsuspecting victims in an allegedly fraudulent telemarketing scheme.
And a plea for help fighting the rap went over poorly with users of the site.
“We are asking 10,000 caring souls to donate $2.5 million,” her cousin, Danny Filipe, wrote on the site. “Jen is facing decades incarcerated in prison separated from her family if she’s [unable] to mount a competent and well thought out the defense.”
“In seven weeks, Jen and her family have spent over $138,000 in legal fees and costs. My family is asking for your help for Jen and the Shah family,” the page added.
After users of the site complained, the page was removed.
GoFundMe said in a statement on the shuttered page that “the fundraiser violates our Terms of Service. The fundraiser has been removed from the platform.”
Under Section A of the site’s Prohibited Conduct terms, subsection 9 prohibits donations used “for the legal defense of alleged crimes associated with … financial crimes or crimes of deception.”
Before it was taken down, the page raised just $225 of its $2.5 million goal.
Shah — who’s known to Bravo viewers for her lavish spending — was charged in April with wire fraud and money laundering. She has been accused by prosecutors of being involved in “the highest level.”
She’s out on a $1 million bond and was spotted with what looked like boxes of takeout food in front of her home Tuesday.
Welp. So much for that!
Dream Doll Announces She’s Bisexual!

Mariah Carey Responds To Brother’s Defamation Lawsuit!
Mariah Carey has hit back at her brother’s defamation lawsuit, claiming it was in the public interest for her to talk about him in her 2020 memoir.
Her older brother, Morgan Carey, took legal action against the singer earlier this year after he claimed she featured “malicious falsehoods” about him in her book, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, which was released last year.
Morgan accused Mariah of defamation and the intentional infliction of emotional distress following the release of the memoir, in which Mariah recounted a vicious fight between Morgan and their father, and said her brother was institutionalized when he was younger.
Mariah also wrote in her book that she “never felt safe” around her “troubled brother” because of his “unpredictable” rage.
But now, the “We Belong Together” hitmaker has now filed papers with the Manhattan Supreme Court to state her claims are not defamation, since the book’s message of her personal triumph over adversity is a matter of public interest.
Mariah’s claim means that a higher legal standard would be required of Morgan to prove defamation, and the singer claimed in her papers – which were filed on Friday, May 28, 2021 – that Morgan lawsuit doesn’t meet those requirements.
The 51-year-old star says her story is of public interest because of her fame and because she wanted to encourage young people who also face difficult upbringings.
Court papers obtained by Page Six read: “The story of Ms. Carey’s rise from a dysfunctional and sometimes violent family environment has significant public value, particularly to any young person who may find her/himself stuck in similarly harsh and dispiriting circumstances and who can benefit from the inspiration to employ their talents in pursuit of their dreams.”
In Morgan’s original filing, the man claimed that, as a result of the publication of the memoir, he has “suffered extreme mental anguish, outrage, severe anxiety about his future and his ability to support himself and his family, harm to his reputation and his earning capacity, embarrassment among his friends and associates, disruption of his personal life and loss of enjoyment of the ordinary pleasures of everyday life.”
And the suit argued that the damage allegedly caused by the “Fantasy” singer was intentional, citing a pre-publication interview she did with Oprah Winfrey.
It stated: “She intended to damage plaintiff, stating ‘he drew first blood.’ She also publicly referred to plaintiff as her ‘ex-brother.’”
Morgan is not seeking a specific sum in compensation but is looking to undo damages through “judicial determination.”
Eboni K. Williams taking time off social media amid ‘RHONY’ race moment!
What Eboni K. Williams is looking for in a man after broken engagement
Eboni K. Williams is taking a page out of Naomi Osaka’s playbook.
Williams, 37, announced on Instagram Tuesday evening that she would be taking time away from social media in anticipation of the online reaction to the upcoming stretch of the current season of “The Real Housewives of New York City.”
Following a brief plug for the show, Williams said she was “coming from a really vulnerable place” and asked fans to bear with her, telling them that, “after tonight’s episode, I’m not gonna be saying ‘goodbye,’ but I’m gonna be saying ‘see you later,’ by way of social media, for about two weeks.”
While avoiding any mention of what would be taking place on the show, Williams said, “Tonight’s episode and next week’s episode are really intense and really important … and I want you to lean into them and I want you to watch them.” She went on to stress the uniqueness of the show’s current season amid the pandemic and the ongoing “dynamic call to action around racial reconciliation.”
“I wanna leave y’all to yourselves to have discussion and debate and conversation around what you’re gonna see tonight, what you’re gonna see next week,” she said, calling her social media sabbatical “[pulling] a Naomi Osaka … to protect my peace.”
Williams continued, “I know a lot of that conversation and discussion is gonna be rich and dynamic and important and productive … and a lot of it is gonna be some bulls–t.”
“I’m not here for it and I won’t be a part of it,” she said of the latter, “so I’m gonna take a little break, a little beat … and I will be back.”
She stressed that her decision was not about “Team Eboni or Team Fill-in-the-Blank-Other-Housewife,” adding, “I want y’all to reject the knee-jerk reaction you might have around that.”
“This is about leaning in, listening, making space for the ability to sit with someone else’s pain, even when you don’t understand it,” she continued.
Williams has been open about pushing the conversations around racial topics on “RHONY” to the fore, recently moving Ramona Singer to stop referring to members of her house staff as “the help.” Singer, for her part, actually seemed to take the moment to heart, saying later, “I love the fact that Eboni, in a non-condescending way, is explaining to me the reason why that word isn’t cool.”
'Drag Race' Contestant Widow Von'Du Arrested for Domestic Violence After Allegedly Knocking Out Her Boyfriend!
Former ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ contestant Widow Von’ Du, whose real name is Ray Fray, was arrested Monday for domestic violence in Missouri.
According to the probable cause affidavit, Widow came home early Friday morning in what her boyfriend described to cops as an intoxicated state.
According to the boyfriend, she got upset when she found him sleeping there — even though he says he told her he would be.
That’s when, her boyfriend told police, Widow allegedly punched him 4 to 5 times in the face, strangled him, and drug him across the floor and into a bed frame. As a result, the boyfriend was knocked unconscious.
The boyfriend said he eventually managed to escape, found help and was hospitalized.
The police report states he needed 14 stitches in his face and head.
The incident was enough for a probable cause warrant and they found Widow and arrested her. She was kept on a 24-hour hold and her bond was set at $50k.
She’s facing 1st and 2nd-degree domestic assault charges.
Widow denied some of what happened, but on an IG Live vide she did state “some white boy tried me and got his ass beat” — and it’s believed she was talking about her boyfriend.
Listen — we can’t have the drag queens out here getting arrested during Pride Month. That’s not a good look!

NSYNC Alum Lance Bass And Husband, Artist Michael Turchin, Are Expecting Twins — A Boy And A Girl Come Fall!
Bass hinted at the joyful news with a Halloween-themed clip posted to TikTok, where he and Turchin are seen being haunted by twin spirits, ending the clip with the “Two Buns in the Oven.”
The couple — who wed in 2014 — confirmed the news to People, telling the mag that their four-year journey to parenthood was a long and emotionally exhausting one.
“When we went into IVF and surrogacy, we had no idea what it was all about. Pretty much everyone we’ve known had bad luck at the beginning,” Bass, 42, shared. “The first time they tried it, it just did not work.”
Turchin, 34, added that the pair initially went through nine different egg donors, all of whom didn’t work out for various reasons.
“We got all the way down the path of about to retrieve their eggs. Some just wouldn’t produce enough eggs, some weren’t good genetic matches,” he revealed. “If you’re going to be a match, you don’t want to even risk it.”
The couple — who wed in 2014 — having been family planning for four years.

They eventually settled on a surrogate, who ended up suffering a miscarriage while pregnant with twins.
“This time around, we had to start all over again from the beginning,” Turchin shared. “Not only did we need to get a new egg donor now because we found out she had early lupus, but on top of that, when we did our egg retrieval, we only had two healthy embryos. Normally, the number’s much higher. So we put both in and once she miscarried, we had to start all over from scratch again this past year.”
“And during a pandemic,” Bass added.
They eventually found their current surrogate through connections with actor Tayor Frey.
“His agency introduced us to this one surrogate and she ended up being a great match. And the same with the egg donor,” said Turchin.
The couple had no problem deciding whose sperm to use, as they knew they’ve wanted twins early in the relationship, meaning each child would share DNA with one parent
“When we did the egg retrieval, he fertilized half, I fertilized half. And luckily, they all turned out great,” Michael revealed, with Lance adding, “We took the two healthiest embryos, and put them in, and it perfectly fit with our plans.”
The couple are expecting late October 2021.
