Cocktails and Gossip B & Amanda

First, a tribute to Shannen Doherty - we will miss her. She was unapologetically herself and we feel like we lost a friend this week. Tom Sandoval continues to villainize himself - he just filed a lawsuit against Ariana for "invading his right to privacy" through her "unauthorized and unpermitted access to, use of, and copying of the data on his cell phone and the distribution to Rachel Leviss". We have thoughts on that and his very strange 4am Instagram live with his girlfriend. We have breaking news on the Real Housewives of Orange County. And, a Cocktails and Gossip exclusive about the future of Real Housewives of New Jersey. We can't tell you all the details yet, but we share what we can and definitely encourage you to keep an eye on Cocktail Party next week for more.

Amanda just had an evening out doing an activity that B does NOT approve of.  And we go on a bit of a tangent about boating. Our merch store is almost ready - we can't wait to share it with you! And while things were slow on Bravo this week during the holiday, there was a lot going on offscreen. True to B's prediction, Lindsay Hubbard announced her pregnancy. And we share a little about why we haven't and won't share specifics or pictures of the new man in her life. Summer House is filming, and we've got info on the newbies - and who is vibing. And Hannah Berner came out this week telling the story of why she and Kyle actually had beef - turns out it had nothing to do with Luke. We each have theories about why Hannah is now telling that story, four years later. And if you haven't watched Ryan Serhant's new show Owning Manhattan on Netflix, jump on it. We both loved it and share our thoughts on what makes it so good - and of course, we've got opinions on the agents.

We are such big fans of Dana and are so excited to have her on the show this week. We get her real opinion on what procedures she thinks some of your favorite Bravo and Hollywood stars have gotten. She also answers our questions about getting facelifts in our 40s, and what kind of non-surgical beauty treatments give the best bang for their buck. And of course, we get her opinions on what's happening on shows like Real Housewives of New Jersey, Vandperpump Rules, and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Check out Dana's amazing content at @igfamousbydana on Instagram.

We both had late nights...so it's only fitting we start with a tangent about rosé. And as expected, New Jersey is top of the list to discuss this week, and we untangle the hairdresser drama and talk about how charity events work. Amanda finds some interesting data about Jen Aydin's charitable history. LVP is going to be back on our Bravo screens. With Kenya out on Real Housewives of Atlanta, who is going to take her place? Could the timing of Peter Thomas's tax announcement be a coincidence? And a theory about Gina from RHOC that we put together with Cocktailers on our last Zoom. Dubai sparkles...but we have a bone to pick with the show.

So much to discuss about Real Housewives of New Jersey this week - on and off screen. First, a tangent about Dolores' boyfriend Paulie's 14 year separation in which he still isn't divorced. This week's episode was classic Housewives and we loved it. Rumors are swirling that Carl and Danielle from Summer House are dating - we'll share what we know. We do have an exclusive on an upcoming RHONJ scene - and more bad news on Teresa, her husband Luis, and Vinivia, a company they are associated with. And last but not least, B has another prediction.

Lots of smoke around Kyle and Amanda and their marriage this week. Is there fire? Why didn't Amanda go to Italy with Kyle for Andrea's wedding? We'll tell you what we're hearing plus more on the history of their relationship and how that could weigh into today's situation. Thoughts on the Summer House reunion, and where things could be headed for this summer's filming of Summer House. We've got an exclusive about the cast and filming of Bravo's new show, Making it Manhattan. Luis Ruelas, husband of Teresa from RHONJ is tied to another business scandal. We looked into the company at the center of the scandal and found some pretty interesting imo. Teresa launched her pod this week - and we're in shock about what she said about her past. On RHONJ, Jackie gives the ultimate "pick me girl" energy and we. are. over. it. We're hearing all kinds of wild rumors about Real Housewives of Atlanta filming - and we're reserving judgement for one very specific reason.
