Did Monica Garcia have a master plan all along?
During the shocking season 4 finale, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City newbie was accused of running an Instagram account dedicated to trolling her ex-friend Jen Shah and other cast members. But according to Heather Gay, Monica’s deviousness runs deeper than just some nasty social media posts.

Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Miami wrapped up in March, with Season 6 expected to start filming later this year. In the meantime, the fans can’t keep talking about the spicy reunion, where the ladies came together to rehash the turbulent and emotionally charged moments of Season 5.

Before and after the episode, the cast posed for some group photos. And one thing was abundantly clear: Julia Lemigova absolutely towered over her co-stars, even in their heels. Just how tall is this supermodel, anyway?

Big Brother‘s Rachel Reilly admits that none of The Traitors cast questioned why Brandi Glanville didn’t attend The Traitors reunion on Peacock.
The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip producers were investigating an incident between Glanville and Caroline Manzo at the time. So she was not invited to participate in The Traitors reunion. Reilly said Glanville wasn’t the only cast member who did not attend the reunion, which is a reason why it didn’t occur to her to question her absence.

In the past year, several of the Housewives have been in the headlines, such as Lisa Hochstein and her divorce from plastic surgeon Lenny Hochstein and Larsa Pippen’s relationship with Marcus Jordan, son of basketball star Michael Jordan.

Family comes first in the winter premiere of The Equalizer. In this exclusive sneak peek from “He Ain’t Heavy,” a frantic Mel (Liza Lapira) opens up to Harry (Adam Goldberg) about her brother Edison’s (Travis Salter) kidnapping. The episode airs Sunday, Feb. 19 on CBS.

Something must be in the water to keep the cast of this limited-series coda to the Best Man franchise looking this ageless. But rest assured, 23 years after the 1999 origin flick and almost a decade past the 2013 sequel, The Best Man Holiday, the challenges faced by the now-a-list costars in these eight episodes are just as timeless. Taye Diggs, Morris Chestnut, Melissa De Sousa, Regina Hall, Terrence Howard, Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, and Harold Perrineau all return for creator Malcolm D. Lee’s “ode to the franchise and the fans.” (Credit: Jocelyn Prescod/Peacock) The story picks up a few years after Holiday, which ended with Howard’s mogul Quentin announcing his engagement, and we see the nuptials at a “sexy island destination wedding,” Lee says. “After the first two episodes, we catch up to modern day.” And life is still messy. Between career woes, marital fails, and secrets galore, “each...
