The Real Housewives of New York City Season 8 Episode 15 Recap: All Bets Are Off

Last night on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 8 Episode 15, things picked up right where they left off, and that meant:



Luann de Lesseps rambling on and on about how in love she was and wondering why the other women refused to be happy for her.


Eventually, she stormed out, but the drama on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 8 Episode 15 was just getting underway.


Specifically, with Jules Wainstein grilling Bethenny Frankel about whether Bethenny had or had not texted her after Jules’ vagina injury.


That’s a sentence for all time. Her co-star’s response?


“I have my own vagina problems,” Bethenny joked to the cameras, while to Jules, Frankel insisted she had responded more than sufficiently.


“This is really stupid,” Jules said, clearly disagreeing.


“Stupid is as stupid does,” Bethenny snapped back.


That hit a nerve and Jules promptly lost her s–t.


“I’m not stupid, and I’m really sick of you portraying me as stupid!” Wainstein shouted. “Your sense of humor is on other people’s expense.”


Jules also accused Bethenny of talking smack about her marriage behind her back, which Frankel denied, and Dorinda Medley interjected.


“I think there’s speculation that their marriage isn’t doing well,” she said of Jules Wainstein and her husband, and apparently it was true.


They are now getting divorced, as we reported.


Dorinda noted that she had nothing to do with rumors spread about Jules’ marriage, and was concerned about Jules’ eating disorder.


“Don’t talk about me behind my back!” Jules responded. “I may be very skinny, and you may not like how skinny I am, but I love my body!”


Yikes. Bethenny then admitted her own struggles with eating issues and how she worried that being around Jules would act as a trigger.


It was then that Jules’ tone shifted dramatically.



“Three days ago, I thew up my food,” Jules admitted, perhaps disarmed by Bethenny’s honesty and brutal truth. “I’m not going to lie.”


“Respect that I’m saying this. It’s humiliating.”


As that sunk in, Ramona Singer suggested they all go to Mohegan Sun. Which is a totally logical place for her mind to go after that.


Ramona also had it out with Luann, who again bristled at the notion that the other cast members weren’t over the moon with joy for her.


“You’re just in lust right now,” Ramona replied.


“A smart woman said,” she added, “that it takes a full year, four different seasons, to get to know someone … it doesn’t take four weeks.”


Luann was unmoved, and equally quick to deny, again, the concept that she stole this knight in shining armor from anyone else.


“You don’t steal a man away from a woman,” Lu told the cameras. “A man leaves willingly. Tom and I met. There was magic. End of story.”


Meanwhile, Sonja Morgan hosted a dinner party, where they discussed the events we had all just seen … and then it was casino time.


Oh yes. Party bus style.


Jules, Dorinda, Sonja, Ramona and Carole all hopped on board and en route to Connecticut, began discussing Luann (who else).


She’d gotten engaged, which they learned from the media like the rest of us, rather than from Lu herself, which they all felt was odd.


Bethenny then talked behind Jules’ back, yet within earshot of Jules, which may or may not have been intentional. It’s hard to say.


She also made up with Sonja, who was pleased as punch that her longtime frenemy decided to extend an olive branch right then.


And that about sums it up for this week. Follow the link to watch The Real Housewives of New York City online to get up to speed now.

Dan Bilzerian Begins LA-to-Vegas Bike Ride With Millions in Bets on the Line

If you’re not familiar with Dan Bilzerian, just imagine if a syringe full of anabolic steroids came to life, inherited a ton of cash, developed a complex after realizing its only 5’5″, and started an Instagram page to prove to the world that despite outward appearances, it’s actually a total badass.



If that’s too abstract, just think of any 35-year-old bro who copes with his insecurities by calling everyone p–sies and risking his life with insane stunts:



That’s Bilzerian embarking on a 300-mile bike ride from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.


Why? Well, as we learned earlier this month, the professional poker player and self-proclaimed “king of Instagram” recently bet hedge fund manager Bill Perkins $ 1.2 million that he could complete the trek in less than 48 hours.


Factoring in his many side-bets – including one with entrepreneur and frequent Pam Anderson spouse Rick Salomon in which he put his private jet on the line – Bilzerian has several million at stake.


In fairness, that’s pretty badass  – or at least at would be, were it not for two mitigating factors:


  1. Bilzerian is traveling with two chefs, a masseuse, doctor, bike mechanic, army of assistants and full police escort for a retinue that totals over two dozen.

  2. Bilzerian has suffered four heart attacks in recent years, which kinda makes this whole venture less badass and more dumbass.

“I don’t know how I’m going to feel,” recently told The Hollywood Reporter. “I think it’s physically doable, but obviously it’s going to be hell.


“I understand I could die out there. I’ve got to be on point.”


Obviously, we don’t think it’s the greatest idea for “Blitz” to be putting his life on the line, but it’s nice that no LA porn stars will be thrown from any roofs for the next couple days.


Plus, he’ll probably be too tired when he gets back. Bonus.


We’ll keep you updated on Bilzerian’s progress over the next 48 hours.

Daniel Tosh Bets $25,000 on Patriots, Wins Big For Friend With Cancer

Whether he"s riffing on an amateur stuntman who did something stupid and wound up with a bone sticking out of his leg, or reminding us how much Jimmy Fallon loves booze, Daniel Tosh is always awesome in a cruelly hilarious way.


Even fans of the divisive comic admit that he doesn"t exactly come off as a nice guy on his Comedy Central show, so lots of folks might be surprised to learn that Tosh just committed an incredible act of kindness at the expense of his beloved Miami Dolphins.


As you might already know, the New England Patriots annihilated the Dolphins last night (as they"re wont to do) by a score of 36-7.


While it may have been a bummer for Tosh to watch Brady and company trounce all over his team (We"ve all been there, dude.), the Pats" victory was also a major win for Daniel"s friend Andy Ritchie, a comic who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor.


You see, Tosh recently made $ 25,000 auctioning off props and random crap from around his office online.


He decided to bet the whole 25 grand on the Patriots covering the first half spread against the Dolphins and promised that if he won, he"d give all the cash to Ritchie to help with his medical bills.


Since you can never really go wrong betting on the Pats (unless you"re betting on which team is the least likely to cheat), Tosh will be able to donate $ 50,000 to Ritchie"s GoFundMe account.


"Once I double it, [Ritchie] can do whatever he wants with it; go on a lion-hunting safari or get treatment," Tosh said.


We"re guessing he"ll go with treatment, but hey – maybe he"ll decide to pull a Walter Palmer. Who knows?


We kid, of course. This is the best thing Tosh has done since he weirdly recreated a Selena Gomez video.


He proved that his uncaring D-bag routine is (at least sometimes) just an act, and for that, we thank him.
