Cocktails and Gossip

We talk exclusives for the first half of the pod! Including a new show that's been greenlit, what's been happening with Jesse McBee and his wife, Alli, plus we're going rogue from what everyone else is saying about Amanda, West and filmig iIn the City. Plus, we heard why CT wasn't in the Bahamas, and the "love child" Southern Charm rumor got a little louder this week. Whitner, we have a propositio...

Tracy is with us this week, and she's breaking down the Virtual Reali-Tea Awards. Huge thank you at the Tristate Cadillac Club for hosting us at a genuinely wild night. Tracy tells all: who she met, who was actually letting loose, Kyle Cooke behind the DJ booth, Carl Radke with his shirt off, the Countess closing out the show, and which Bravoleb is even better looking in person. But first, Cocktai...

Happy first birthday to one of our youngest Cocktailers, Baby Beau! This week's Zoom was one for the books...you never know what's going to happen on a Cocktailer Zoom and this one did not disappoint. We're watching Ciara on Dancing with the Stars ad we're so proud to see her doing so well. Are cameras for In the City up? And will West and Amanda be on the show? We tell you what we know plus have...

Halloween tangents: One of us did racy costumes in her 20s, one didn't, but both are trying to bring the racy costume back. Also, a reminder that the Cocktail Party Zoom is this Tuesday the 29th at 7pm ET. Podcast exclusive: Katie Ginella posted a cryptic "karma" reel this week, so we took it to an OC source. Listen to hear what we're hearing. Plus the Discord debate we want your take on: why is K...

The RHOSLC season premiere was this week and we are both weepy, teary messes. It was a beautiful tribute and look inside how all the housewives reacted and also supported Mary. Rest in Peace, Robert Jr.    And RHONY was another banger. Erin vs. Jessel and why we see it differently. A moment of appreciation for Erika. Our conversation about Martha Stewart and Daisy turns into: How do celebrities re...

RHONY is back, baby. We feel like we got the yacht after this episode. From the Carole Radziwill homage to Carrie Bradshaw to the Martha Stewart cameo right off the back, we think we are going to have a lot to look forward to as fans. While we're happy that Sai is sharing more about what was really going on in her marriage, we can't help but give her the side-eye for not being honest with us all a...

Rest in peace to Gloria Steinem. We thank her for advocacy for feminism and human equality. Funny story, Amanda was a missing person for about 16 hours and learned what it was to have an Italian Mom and Jewish Mom worried about her. Danny and Nia will not be on Season 4 of the Valley. We weren't surprised...and could Lacy become a full time castmember? Brittany was granted a temporary restraining...

We start with a tribute to Dolly Parton, who we sadly lost on August 25th. We share a funny story about her that we hadn't heard before...and talk about the way that she fought the patriarchy, yet never considered herself a feminist. We will miss you dearly, Dolly. Big news in Beverly Hills. We're hearing Leah Remini is also joining the cast! We're also hearing this is the heaviest salary year eve...

We open this week by remembering Hayden Panettiere and talking honestly about postpartum depression and anxiety. Speaking on it should never cost a woman her job, and Amanda shares her own experience with postpartum anxiety for the first time on the pod. The Send Us Tea inbox has been working this week. Podcast exclusive: we're hearing names for the next season of The Traitors. Contracts are not s...

Tasha Beg, pop culture and astrology expert joins us this week! We're in eclipse season for the month, and Tasha tells us what this eclipse season means for all of us, and which signs will see some activation at the end of the month. And of course, we want to know what's in the charts for our favorite shows and for our favorite Bravolebs, including which Housewives are looking at some big changes...

B and Tracy went to the Real Housewives Roaring 20th premiere last night and tell us all about the night's shenanigans. Who they met, what they talked about, who was best dressed, and highlights of the night. Who on Summer House is making out with who? And is there a possible new Summer House crossover with another franchise? We are both confused and amused by Jax's fake Smartwater campaign. It to...

B went to the House of Stassi premiere party and met the cast - she spills all the details. Plus, our thoughts on the first episode. In the City is over and the second reunion episode had some juicy tidbits. Are Lindsay and Danielle friends for a reason or a season? Is Bravo going to let Eoin get away with calling Yvonne an "effing idiot" not once but twice? And we have to talk about Amanda and Ky...

Our thoughts on Chelsea Handler's public letter to her family. Angie K and her husband, Shawn, are reportedly separated - we tell you everything we know. There's controversy in Charleston, South Carolina. We're hearing that Southern Hospitality will have another season, but that Leva may not be invited back. What we know about that and the reported beef she has with a couple of cast members. Part...

B and Tracy did something fun for Cocktailers - coming soon! We love Canadians. Justice for the Bathroom Chronicles! We had tea about Jax and his publicist's affair going all the way back to 2024, plus some updates by Cocktailers and friends who have eyewitness reports of the Mexico sightings. Is Brittany trying to get her Ariana/Ciara moment out of this? The Golden Life is getting more episodes-...

We're so excited to welcome Melissa from @YourBishTherapist to the pod this week. Before we get into it, Amanda has an apology and clarification regarding a statement she made on the podcast last week. We ask Melissa about her thoughts on Kenny and Lindsay from In the City and learn about parental wounds and how they can contribute to the way people act everyday. Melissa has a surprising opinion o...

Happy 4th of July! What we're hearing about the big wedding. Part 2 of the Real Housewives of Rhode Island Reunion - we have some takes on Liz's announcement that she's not returning for season 2 and the Brian and Rulla of it All. Amanda looked up the court documents on Brian's divorce and all the dates Joellen shared on the reunion check out - plus some more details you might want to hear. What a...

Congratulations to Danielle and Eoin from In the City on the birth of their son, Aidan. Sending them well wishes! B has a very funny story about how some juicy tea came together that didn't fully make sense...at first. But a public acknowledgement from a Summer House cast member put all the pieces together and made us laugh out loud. The Real Housewives of Rhode Island reunion part 1 aired this we...

This week we have so much Southern Charm gossip! West Wilson has officially been fired from Southern Charm. And the Real Housewives of Rhode Island finale ended with a bang, but Cocktailers knew about it. Why does Joellen keep letting Liz treat her badly? B has an interesting theory. A Cocktailer saw "THE VIDEO" of Brian and the mistress and described what was allegedly in the video - we share det...

Tracy is here and making us laugh from the jump. Go Knicks, and go Bravo and Cocktails - because we're both having big weeks. Cocktailers knew that Jennifer Lawrence was the one who helped Andy figure out who recorded the audio leak from the Summer House reunion. Lots of people laughed about this and didn't believe us. But we were right. It was confirmed by Zaddy Andy himself - and have details ab...

We're watching Love Island, as promised. We're not so sure about it yet, but giving it a fair shake. Everyone's talking about Amanda Batula's bun; we have theories about it. Plus two exclusives about West and Amanda, including what they were overheard saying about having kids?!?!?! Our theory about why West has been so quiet during the reunion. Cocktailers knew about West's "secret girlfriend", Me...

Breaking news: Did KJ and Dara break up last night? Here's what we know. The Summer House Reunion came in hot and never stopped. B has a theory about who actually leaked that Amanda and West were hooking up. Why was Amanda's reaction to West's nude so strangely gleeful? We've got a theory about that too.  As expected the timeline is a main point of conversation (and contention). We have to ask, wh...

This week, we finally get what we have been asking for. The Summer House folks In the City. And what a wild transition from the Hamptons to NYC it's been. And, Bravo addresses the West/Amanda romance and Amanda and Kyle's breakup all at once. Back to the Hamptons, we see some evidence that Amanda and West were up to no good last summer. Did West do what he did to Ciara because he secretly hates he...

B went to the Vulture Reality TV Masterminds Awards event and has a lot to share with us, including what Kyle's reaction was to her, who she vibed with, and who she met. The next day the Jenn Fessler/West Wilson scandal exploded. We have thoughts both on whether it happened, and how Jenn and West handled it. And on this week's episode of Summer House: What did West whisper to Amanda, and why did p...

We start with some Met Gala tea to cap off Met Gala week. We were a little nervous for Ciara, but she seemingly avoided a wardrobe malfunction. Now that we know what we know about West and Amanda, was this latest episode of Summer House the worst yet? What is "duper's delight" and why is everyone talking about it this week? What was Amanda's motivation in going so hard for Ciara in her conversatio...

We have been bamboozled, hoodwinked, swindled by Steven McBee. Will we even watch the show now that we know different? B got intel that the person who helped Bravo crack the case on who recorded the leaked Summer House audio was no other than Jennifer Lawrence, Academy Award winner and Bravo fan. West Wilson is enduring a family tragedy. We recap the other audio leaks and it just raises more quest...
