Cocktails and Gossip

Mercedes Javid from Shahs of Sunset is here to spill tea with us – and she's as unfiltered and genuine as always. Who is she still in touch with? What are her thoughts on Scandoval when she knows all of the cast so well? What show does she currently love most on Bravo? And we get an interesting perspective from her about the possible reality show unionization.    Her husband, Tommy Feight, wrote a...

Lenny of RHOM can now proudly say he has a wife and a fiance. We have theories about Lenny's proposal. Kyle and Mauricio (and Morgan Wade) continue to be very public, but very silent. Did Sam stand by her man and opt out of Summer House? Vicki is back to whoop it up - and we've got thoughts about her return.

We have the most fun chatting with Meghan King from The Real Housewives of Orange County on this week's pod! Meghan shares her behind the scenes perspective on her time from RHOC and we get to hear more about the Instagram beef that is happening with Jennifer Aydin. We were shocked to hear how and when Meghan first thought something was off about Brooks and his cancer story. And we get to hear abo...

The anxiously awaited RHONY Reboot is finally here, and we're here for it. We've got a little tea on the cast ready for you. And of course, Bethenny and Jill can't let them have the spotlight to themselves - but we do love the reunion. More celebrity divorces, but Cocktailers have known about them for a while. Vanderpump Rules is filming in Tahoe - we have some scoop on what's going on behind the...

It's an episode full of exclusives. First of all, we spend a little more time breaking down the Kyle and Mauricio separation - something just isn't adding up. And we've got exclusive tea from someone who is connected to them. Separately, is there a rift in Kyle and Dorit's friendship? We've got to wonder - here's why. B called it from day 1 about Kim and Kroy. And the timing can't be ignored - the...

We're thrilled to have Ally from @Bravo_After_Thoughts on the pod this week! And what a week it's been. Literally right after we recorded last week, the whispers get louder and louder about Kyle and Mauricio until we get the People confirmation that they are separating, quickly followed by a "we aren't divorcing and ask for your privacy" statement on Instagram. So what's going on?  Does our theory...

We all see something a Bravoleb wears on camera and wonder where to buy it. Thank goodness for Lauren from @BigBlondeHair - she does the WORK to figure it out and share with all of us! Today, we've got her on the pod and we'll be talking smash or pass when it comes to Housewife and Bravolebrity fashion, plus how she got her start with bigblondehair.com , her blog. Do the Housewives buy all those c...

We can't help ourselves with the orange pun. Because we're so glad Real Housewives of Orange County and Tamra are back! Now that we have a few episodes under our belts, we want to talk about our thoughts on the new housewife, Jen, plus our returning favorite orange holders. And of course, we've got Orange flavored tea for you - lots of it. We've got our ears to the ground in Beverly Hills and in N...

It's a great week, because have Larry of Bravo by Gays guesting on the show with us! He's got some news for us...And we talk about what we're hearing from the RHONY Legacy Ultimate Girls' Trip. Kim and Kroy's divorce is taking an even nastier turn - why we think things have hit the point of no return. What's going on with Real Housewives of Atlanta this season? The explosive, dark, and threaten-y...

What's next for Summer House? Jersey's Jaqueline and Jackie exchange some pretty shocking text messages. Jersey finale - did Louie hire someone to call Teresa's castmate's family members? Danielle - is she all bark and no bite? The Vanderpump Rules bombshell revelation...what we really think was behind it and Raquel's "throuple" suggestion. A Cocktailer weighs in with her professional opinion on R...

This week, we go a little deeper on Bravolebrity relationships and divorces with Michelle Dempsey-Multack, a divorce and co-parenting expert. Michelle gives us some great insight into some of the big Bravolebrity divorces and relationships in the news, and stays to talk about the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion with us. Michelle spills the tea on which RHONJ husband is not her favorite, the...

The conversation between Lindsay and Danielle…it was brutal, no other word for it. Our thoughts on Mya hiding her breakup… The RHONJ wedding special episode was very highly watched - but a little boring. B educates Amanda on the customs of NY and NJ weddings - Amanda has offered herself as a guest to experience a Venetian Hour. What we're hearing about the RHONJ next season cast...there's talk of...

VPR - all we can say is wow. So many moments that were just jaw dropping. And what is the VPR producer talking about when he says there's more to be revealed after watching all three parts of the reunion? We have tea. Will there be any castaways on the boat to Scary Island? We share what we know. And the Jersey finale - or should we say, brawl? And why did Louie say he hired a PI to get info on al...

We've been following the sad news about Kim Zolciak Biermann and Kroy Biermann's foreclosure. Sadly the story gets worse, with a hefty IRS bill and now they've both filed for divorce. We ave some more details about Kim and Kroy's divorce–you've been hearing from us first on this topic.  We're so happy to see the peaches of Real Housewives of Atlanta back on our screens. We've got a feisty new Hous...

New York, New York, we've got both reboot and legacy news, including a RHONY Legacy exclusive. Why we think the reboot could be a hallmark for the next generation of Bravo. When Bravolebs go to other networks…Jersey was a doozy and got us in our feelings - all of the feelings. What we know about Raquel's account getting hacked (spoiler alert, interesting timing on that announcement) and our theory...

So much buzz about the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion. And we have some exclusive tea from an eyewitness. And more exclusive tea about some friction between the Catanias and Teresa/Louie. Who got "tossed like a whore in a brothel" during the show? We have an update for you on the Lisa Hochstein divorce. We covered her prenup in a deep dive on episode 38 and based on what the judge in the ca...

This is our 50th episode of Cocktails and Gossip! A huge thank you to our listeners and community. As a thank you, we have an announcement to make about the future of the podcast…We discuss a few friendship fallouts. Which housewife in Miami is threatening not to film with another? RHONJ breaks the "kids are off limits" rule…and another week, another few VPR #Scandoval updates for you…

Bravocon is viva-ing Las Vegas, but Cocktailers have known this. Maybe the Toms need a little break from the media, because now Sandoval's podcast appearance was a bigger dumpster fier than Schwartz's. Let us count the ways that Sandoval is a master gaslighter. And Scandoval is causing a Bravolebrity renaissance of sorts. Summer House couple tea. Finally a more lighthearted Real Housewives of New...

Tom Schwartz' dumpster fire of a WWHL appearance: From the weight cuffs he wore, to the admission that he knew about the affair since last August, to the plea to all of us to give Sandoval a hug. Wow, just wow. B and Amanda get into a conversation about what Tom Schwartz should have done - should he have told someone? When? How? And is he smarter than he plays on tv? There's a new lawsuit that all...

First it was laundry, now it's nails; we broke a picture of Juan out with the same woman again. Another RHOA divorce - this time from Eva Marcille, and with an interesting twist. We have opinions on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip in Thailand. PMDD is no excuse for being an a-hole. Whitney is growing on B but Heather is losing both of our respect. Porsha is reminding us why we loved her to sta...

Rumor has it the RHON legacy ladies returning to Scary Island? Why this makes sense to us, and who we're hearing is coming. Who's going to Vegas in November? We're not sick of Scandoval yet - and here's why. Inside info about how Rachelle's working a PR angle; and is any amount of mean girl behavior permissible now that we know what we know, or is there a line? We see through the "Katie won't sell...

Is Taylor from Southern Charm getting iced out? The Scandoval restraining order - no way Bravo is going to let that stop us Bravo fans from getting the reckoning we all deserve. We have a theory about production that no one is talking about…Bravo is putting the fruit in the refrigerator until summer. We've got the OC tea. Summer House - where does Lindsay go from here?   This episode is brought to...

We loved doing this episode with Kate Casey, host of the podcast, Reality Life with Kate Casey. We got her unique takes and perspectives on #Scandoval, Real Housewives of New Jersey, and Summer House. We dig deep - is there a redemption arc for Tom and/or Raquel? Where does Kate think the real drama may be happening on Real Housewives of New Jersey? We predict next steps for some of our favorite S...

NOTE: This podcast was recorded before the Scandoval happened. If you want to hear our take on Scandoval, we recorded two emergency podcasts on that Friday night. They're available to Cocktail Party members, and you can join by going to bravoandcocktails.com/join * We're coming in hot - off joining Melissa Gorga on her  On Display podcast. She was a class act and we clear up the mystery about whet...

B*tch Eating Crackers - an Urban Dictionary term that we learned and we're running with it this week. Summer House - we have different (but not opposite) takes on the Kyle and Carl situation. Details from the Brooklyn Beckham and Nicole Peltz wedding are coming out – and the tea we got on the site last year is making a lot more sense. Real Housewives of New Jersey is keeping our interest. The Tere...
