POP 3:
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are officially heading to court after both sides rejected a last-minute settlement, with only three of Lively’s original claims moving forward. Meanwhile, Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen’s legal drama escalates with dueling restraining orders, custody updates, and his reported removal from VPV Season 3. And over in Bravo land, Real Housewives of Rhode Island is already delivering, with a stacked cast, messy dynamics, and a surprisingly strong start just two episodes in. I’m breaking down what matters, what’s messy, and who’s already standing out.
DEEP DIVE:
We’re getting into all the latest Summer House chaos, including Lindsay Hubbard clapping back at rumors and what’s really going down ahead of the reunion. Ciara Miller drops not-so-subtle shade that has everyone connecting dots in the Amanda/West situation, while West himself is basically MIA. Then we unpack the In The City trailer, including that jaw-dropping Amanda and West moment that sent fans spiraling. Plus, I’m sharing my honest take on the cast, why Carl Radke’s absence makes zero sense, and what this show is really shaping up to be.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I’m wrapping with a fun preview of my interview with the cast of Love Overboard, Hulu’s new reality dating series hosted by Gabby Windey. Think luxury yacht, romance, and contestants literally “walking the plank.” It’s chaotic in the best way and already giving must-watch energy.
