Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 6 Recap: Pride Above All

Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 6 was all about pride, in the best possible way in the wake of a national tragedy from this spring.

After terrorism struck the Florida gay community in the form of Omar Mateen, West Hollywood’s pride parade took on even more meaning.

Her goal was bringing the community together; Tom and Ariana, meanwhile, struggled to stay together after the worst fight of their relationship.

Elsewhere, Stassi planned a birthday trip to Montauk and James began to doubt his friendship with Lala for reasons that aren’t shocking.

If you watch Vanderpump Rules online, well, let’s just say that Lala, for all her positive attributes, can play fast and loose with the truth.

More than anything, though, this week was about pride.

Lisa Vanderpump rode on a float during Pride Day, feeling that it was necessary to bring the community together after such a tragedy.

The staff, however, didn’t have quite as much courage.

Upon hearing the news of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Katie Maloney opted out of working at SUR on this special occasion.

That isn’t to say the events didn’t impact her greatly.

On the contrary. She met with Tom Sandoval, Tom Schwartz and Stassi Schroeder at her apartment, where they discussed the terrorism.

There were a lot of tears and raw emotions.

Tom Sandoval seemed to be the most shaken up, but following their discussion and impromptu group therapy session, he went to work.

If you don’t do that, then they win, right?

Unfortunately for Tom, this wasn’t the only mental battle he fought this week, as his jealousy over Ariana‘s new bartending book was palpable.

This caused one the most surprising – and biggest – fights we’ve ever seen from a couple we love and who is by all accounts so stable.

The gist of the couple’s conflict is this:

Ariana was offered a deal to make a bartending book; Tom wanted to be involved; Ariana basically called him out for craving attention.

A huge and bitter argument ensued. 

Thanks to Lala Kent, who played the unlikely role of mediator here, the couple was able to work it out and move forward. Thank goodness.

As for Lala, she had her own issues, however.

James got frustrated over the fact that Lala’s stories about her rich boyfriend to whom Lala gives good dome are constantly changing.

How did she react to the intense scrutiny?

Finally, Stassi started planning her birthday trip to Montauk, which is on Long Island and which Scheana Marie did not know existed.

We suppose it’s not that surprising that Scheana had never heard of it … what would be more shocking is if anyone actually attended.

Because … it’s Stassi. Her birthday party seems like it would be one of the most miserable things in human history, though who knows. 

Anyway, that’s that! Watch it all above!

Kim Kardashian: Cheating on Kanye West With Marquette King?!

Kim Kardashian is rumored to be cheating on Kanye West — who was recently on an eight-day psychiatric hold. 

This pretty much sucks, right? 

Hollywood Life reports that Kardashian and Marquette King, punter for the Oakland Raiders, were caught cozying up behind closed doors. 

Recently, talk of a strained marriage have emerged around Kimye, and what triggered Kanye West’s breakdown — a rumored combination of Kim Kardashian’s robbery and over work — is just another straw on the camel’s back. 

Other outlets have picked up the story and reported that Kim’s seeking solace in the arms of the Raiders footballer. 

Though it’d make sense that Kardashian would want a normal life again, erasing the robbery in Paris and pretending that Kanye’s hospitalization never happened, we find it hard to believe that Kim would step out on Kanye like this during his greatest time of need. 

She’s not that “heartless,” you know. 

A source purportedly close to Kardashian also revealed to the publication that Kanye just doesn’t need this kind of drama.

“Having to hear rumors about Kim [Kardashian] cheating is the absolute last thing [he] needs right now.”

“Kim’s been amazing, but their relationship has been under a lot of strain in the past year,” the source continued.

“Having stuff like this thrown in his face is really hard on him. Kanye trusts Kim, but he also can’t help himself from getting a little jealous and insecure sometimes.” 

We can imagine … especially when your wife is, sadly, one of the most desirable women on the planet.  

Other peoples’ words, not ours. 

Not that she’s not cute or whatever.

Never mind. 

Open mouth, insert … foot. 

The mole continued, “[Kanye] needs to focus on himself and what he can control, not crazy talk about his wife cheating.”

“Kim and his people are trying to keep [him] off the grid as much as possible so he doesn’t get stressed out with stories like this.” 

HL’s source concluded, “Kim’s got two kids, a husband who needs her more than ever, is still dealing with the robbery aftermath, and has a business to tend to.”

“She barely has time to have sex with her own husband, let alone step out on him with Marquette. The only place she’s creeping late at night is to the store to get dessert to avoid the paparazzi.” 

TMZ recently reported that West, after securing a psych team in Los Angeles, went transcontinental and is seeking therapists in New York City, for when he’s on the east coast. 

The website revealed that Kanye is looking to beef up his care team, which is on call and on watch almost “around the clock.” 

Get well, soon, Kanye. 

Honestly, there’s not even a single joke we can make here that wouldn’t be completely terrible or remotely acceptable. 

Just get well, okay?

Lamar Odom: In Rehab!

Beleaguered former NBA and Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Lamar Odom has checked himself into rehab, according to reports. 

He is seeking treatment at a rehab facility near San Diego, Calif.

“He went to continue making sure he stays sober and on the right path,” a source says of the 37-year-old Odom’s decision, noting that:

“It was something he chose to do.”

According to the insider, Odom “did it for his kids” (he has two, with Liza Morales) and “also wanted to feel 100 percent again.”

“He did not relapse,” the source close to Lamar insists, “but felt like he wanted to get away and start fresh for the New Year.”

The athlete’s decision comes a year after he sought treatment to recover from an overdose at a (legal) brothel in Nevada.

Odom, as we all know by now, was found unconscious by a couple of prostitutes – who ultimately saved his life – in October 2015.

After being rushed to a hospital and later airlifted to Los Angeles, he was placed into an induced coma for more than two weeks.

“I can remember being scared half to death. … I was trapped in my body,” he later recalled on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

“I couldn’t even say ‘Excuse me’ or ‘Thank you.’”

“Now I’m taking it day by day.”

After his overdose, estranged wife Khloe Kardashian withdrew her divorce papers to oversee medical decisions and assist his recovery.

Unfortunately, there was no reconciliation, as she filed for divorce again in May; Khloe and Lamar’s divorce is nearly finalized.

If you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online, you’ll remember Khloe recalling being told he only had four hours to live.

Lamar defied friends, family and doctor’s expectations by surviving and pulling through, but then defied them in a different way:

By not committing to his recovery, or changing his lifestyle.

There were reports of Odom being back on crack, or even homeless after being kicked out of the house Khloe rented for him.

At least now, whatever drove him to rehab, he will be safe.

An E! News source sought to quell that talk, saying, “Lamar’s not homeless. He has a nice place in California. He is doing well.” 

“He is determined to stay on the straight and narrow [path] and wants to be the best father that he can possibly be.”

“He is doing the work required to achieve that.”

Another source added of the latest path on the troubled star’s journey, “It is not easy, but he is focused and determined.”

He was last spotted in public shopping in Beverly Hills on December 6; Lamar’s rep could not be reached for comment.

Love & Hip Hop Recap: Let"s Get it Poppin"!

Ready to get it poppin’ and then some in NYC?

VH1 aired a double shot of its flagship series this week, with Love & Hip Hop Season 7 Episode 4 and Love & Hip Hop Season 7 Episode 5.

If you watch Love & Hip Hop online, you probably already know that the drama has been crazy the past few weeks, but did it slow down tonight?

Not at all. 

We kicked things off with Judy bringing Yandy up to speed about her meeting with Kim, Ericka and Samantha and of course, the heart attack incident. 

The pair then debated whether Kim really had a heart attack, or if she just wanted out of the toxic situation.

Judy then let Yandy know she wanted her to attend little Mendeeces graduation, but Yandy was conflicted because she didn’t want in on the baby momma drama. 

She has a point. All these ladies seem to want to fight with each other. It’s pathetic and Yandy should probably just steer clear, but did she do so? 

More on that in a little, you guys. 

Swift and Cardi continue to flirt like hell in the studio, but Cardi got a shock while using his phone when a whole bunch of texts came through from someone named “wifey”.

It was at that moment Swift came clean that he had a girlfriend in London. 

Cardi did not take it well and basically said she could be a bitch and take her him from her. Yeah, that’s how full of herself Cardi is. 

Elsewhere, Self met up with Mariah Lynn to try and get her signed to his entertainment label.

As expected, Mariah was reluctant after all of the drama with Ski, Bianca and Drewski’s record label.

Self made it clear that she would be top priority if she was on his label and she was clearly interested. 

If you thought the drama with Snoop and J was over, then you were most certainly wrong.

Snoop met up with the chick she was flirting with, with the intention of dropping her. 

Instead, she sent her to Jules, therefore not dropping her. What will J have to say about this one?

At the graduation party, Samantha and Ericka wasted no time in putting Yandy in her place. 

“You act like you raised my son,” Samantha screeched.

 Yandy tells Samantha “I lived with Mendecees and Little Mendecees lived with us.”  

Yandy gets set to leave the room as the insults continue to flow. 

If that was not enough drama, J hunted down Sophie Green to get to the bottom of the podcast incident.

In the end, it was just the pair staring down at each other and J threatening Sophie to back off.  

It was so pathetic, but J did not want anyone near her woman.

When J went to Snoop to confront her again, she put her on a 30-day probation period. 

This did not go down well, with Snoop getting upset about it and contemplated ending the relationship. 

Finally, Cardi B told Asia she was going to steal Swift from her and Asia told her she was welcome to him. 

There is never a dull episode of this show.

What did you think of the drama?

Sound off below!
