The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 11: What’s on Tap?!?

The Real Housewives of Orange County are back.


But will they be better than ever?



The original edition of this Bravo franchise returns to the air this evening, soon after cast member Meghan King Edmonds announced her first pregnancy.


What sort of juicy tidbits and storylines can we expect from the series itself over the next several weeks?


As those who watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online know very well, Season 10 concluded with rumors swirling over the falsification of Vicki Gunvalson’s ex’s medical records.


Was Brooks really lying about his cancer diagnosis?!?


Vicki and her fellow cast members argued over this possibility, as well as over what Vicki knew regarding the situation.


“I didn’t want last season to end the way it did,” Gunvalson tells Entertainment Weekly in a season preview.


“People had a very skewed reality of what really happened in my relationship and things, and I didn’t want it to end like that.”



The upcoming season will feature the return of Tamra Judge, Heather Dubrow, Shannon Beador, and Edmonds, all of whom are still estranged from Gunvalson, who is now single.


Look for Vicki to rely on Jeana Keough for emotional support in times of need.


Oh, yes, she’ll be back for a “few episodes,” as Keough teases to EW.


Gunvalson is vague about what fans can look forward to this summer, but does offer the following hints:


“I think that people have gotten a little more ballsy, more aggressive than it was in the previous times.


“We are strong women; we do have opinions. And I’m okay with that, but I’m not okay with hurting people’s integrity or hurting people’s businesses or what have you.


“So that’s where there’s a line that has to be drawn – this is a reality show, and let’s keep it real.”



HA!


Sorry. It’s hard not to laugh when anyone uses the word “real” in conjunction with any of these Bravo shows.


The Real Housewives of Orange County returns to Bravo for Season 11 on Monday, June 20, at 9/8c. Will you be tuning in?


Amber Rose: Taylor Swift and her P--sy Can Do What Thay Want!

As you’ve probably heard by now, Taylor Swift is dating Tom Hiddleston.



The news that Swiddleston is officially a thing came as a shock to many, as the couple went public just days after Taylor broke up with Calvin Harris.


The Internet being the Internet, much slut-shaming ensued, as many fans and haters believed that Taylor had moved on too quickly from her relationship with Harris.


Now, Taylor is getting some emotional support from an unexpected source:


Amber Rose has been through some high-profile breakups of her own, and in a recent interview, she came to Taylor’s defense and decried the double standard regarding the way famous men and famous women are treated by the press after a breakup:


“I love Taylor, for sure. Absolutely. And I feel like guys do that all the time—they break up and the next day they’re with another girl and nobody really says anything,” Amber said.


“But with Taylor it’s, you know what, I’m done with Calvin [Harris] and it didn’t work out, so on to the next. It is because it’s unheard of, and she’s acting very ‘slutty’ and for some reason needs time to ‘let her pussy rest.’


“That’s how people look at it, and it’s just like, hell no! If I’m done, why do I have to sit in the house and be lonely?”


A solid point from a woman who’s been treated unfairly by the press on countless occasions.


Taylor has complained in the past about the level of press attention that’s paid to her love life, but to be fair, she’s kind of a ringmaster in the media circus that is her life.


To only date famous people, pen chart-topping hits about your breakups, and then expect the media to look away is to dramatically misunderstand the way the American media functions.


That said, it must suck to have your personal life picked apart like, so the least we can do is treat Ms. Swift fairly and not cast any harsh judgments on what she chooses to do with her love life.


How’s this for a deal:


Taylor is free to date whomever she wants, and we’re free to obsess over her relationships like she and boyfriends are characters on our favorite soap opera.


Sound good?


Shahs of Sunset Season 5 Episode 10 Recap: Belize it or Not ...

On Shahs of Sunset Season 5 Episode 10, Reza’s last-minute group trip to Belize sounded like a really good, spontaneous idea at the time.


Until tensions exploded, as predicted by NO ONE (read: anyone).



Picking up where last week left off, Shahs of Sunset Season 5 Episode 10 saw the gang head to Shervin Roohparvar’s house to drink.


Mike Shouhed and Jessica Parido were MIA.


After their latest fight, occuring at the kaftan show last week, Reza Farahan went on an utterly insane rant about the troubled couple.


Seriously, this was all-time, even for Reza.


Somewhere beneath the surface of his misogynistic, nonsensical tirade was a push to take the crew to Belize to “help” Mike and Jessica.


Yes, he actually suggested that the Central American journey was designed to save Mike and Jessica’s marriage. Downright comical.


Meanwhile, Shervin talked to Mercedes “MJ” Javid about her maligned beau Tommy Feight, and whether they go too far nagging him.


The next night, Reza tells Mike he’s inviting him to Belize and is also inviting Jessica – even as she swears she’s not going back to Mike.


Needless to say, she’s still feeling burned after trusting Mike, who Reza tells her is a complete ass hat. What a great matchmaker he is.


Later, MJ was driving to meet Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi when she called Reza, who has been looking up rheumatoid arthritis online.


Something’s not adding up, he says.


Dramatic flashbacks ensued. With intense music, and the same old allegation we’ve been teased with for weeks regarding G-squared:


Is she exaggerating her treatment?


It’s very hard to us to say right now, but watch Shahs of Sunset online to see Sunday’s installment from start to finish right here and now.


Tom Hiddleston Poses Shirtless, Proves Taylor Swift Has Good Taste

Oh, okay.


Now we get it, Taylor Swift.



We must admit: for a short while there, we were confused.


You just seemed to happy with Calvin Harris. You guys seemed to have a lot it common and we really thought you had found The One.


But then you allegedly dumped Harris over the phone. You might even have cheated on him.


And let’s be clear: we don’t approve of either of these decisions if they actually happened. You simply must have more respect for your significant other.


But, again, we do sort of get it now.


Because you were caught kissing Tom Hiddleston not very long after ending your romance with Harris and now Hiddleston is posing in his underwear for W Magazine…


… and let’s just say that it would be difficult for any woman to resist what we’re seeing before us.



The Marvel actor stripped down to his skivvies for this publication’s annual profile of the hottest TV stars, following his role in AMC’s The Night Manager.


The photographs, taken by Mona Kuhn, show off the Thor star’s chiseled abs, muscular legs and toned arms.


As part of the feature piece, Hiddleston jokes about how producers edited out his bare backside from an episode of The Night Manager.


“I was surprised to hear that they cut my butt out! I’m here to tell you that my butt is not dangerous,” Hiddleston jokes in the the August issue.


“And there are many, many more dangerous things that people are happy to broadcast. I don’t know what that says about the world we live in, but it probably says something.”


Perhaps Swift can go ahead and weigh in on this key body part now.



According to The Sun, after all, the stars “were all over each other, hugging and kissing,” while hanging out around Swift’s Rhode Island mansion this month.


“They looked like any young couple madly in love without a care in the world,” an eyewitness added to the newspaper.


We’re guessing Swift had one care in the world at the time:
