Before the Summer House Scandal Took Over Your Feed, Lindsay Hubbard Was Spotted Getting “Activated” Downtown

Before the Summer House Scandal Took Over Your Feed, Lindsay Hubbard Was Spotted Getting “Activated” Downtown

It was just another day of lunch service at the Odeon, the Tribeca restaurant recently depicted on FX’s Love Story, when word of a reality TV scandal began to spread. In the bustling dining room, Lindsay Hubbard, a former publicist and original cast member on Bravo’s Summer House, was sipping wine with a couple of other women, getting up from their table to take a few frantic phone calls. In recent weeks, whispers that two of her costars were secretly dating had been floating throughout New York City and when she rejoined her table, Hubbard appeared to have received some form of confirmation. “Ciara just said…” she urgently told her tablemates, dissolving into a hushed, but excited tone, according to a fellow diner and source close to Vanity Fair. (Hubbard’s reps declined to comment to VF.) Just 24 hours later, the rest of the world learned what Ciara Miller may have told her “activated” costar over day drinks: Miller’s ex-boyfriend West Wilson had been covertly dating her best friend Amanda Batula, all of whom share …

Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Cast: Vicki, Luann, Porsha, More

Real Housewives, assemble!  Bravo has revealed the official cast list for The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, the upcoming series in celebration of the franchise’s landmark 20th anniversary.  Seven “franchise-defining women” (mostly OGs) from the network’s portfolio have been chosen to star in the show, where they will travel across the country to various locations featured throughout Real Housewives history.  Aside from the core cast, Bravo has promised an abundance of other Housewives will appear in the special season from across the various cities. The show had a previous working title of Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip, hence the theme of the women hitting the road. Earlier Wednesday, before Andy Cohen revealed the cast on Watch What Happens Live, he further confirmed NeNe Leakes would make her Bravo return in the special series.  The official logline for Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip reads, “In this special event series, the Housewives make their way through some of the most memorable locations in the franchise’s history — from Orange County where it all began to …

Bob Dylan, Andy Cohen and More

In New York, the Empire State Building shone a psychedelic tie-dye on Saturday night, and across the country in his hometown of San Francisco, fans gathered in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, as the music industry began paying tributes online to Bob Weir after news of his death was announced by his family. The Grateful Dead co-founder “transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, after courageously beating cancer as only Bobby could. Unfortunately, he succumbed to underlying lung issues,” his family shared on social media. Weir was diagnosed in July but returned to his hometown stage the next month for a three-night celebration of 60 years of music at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Weir and Jerry Garcia formed the rock band in 1965 with Ron “Pigpen” McKernan (keyboards, harmonica), Lesh (bass), and Bill Kreutzmann (drums). “Bobby will forever be a guiding force whose unique artistry reshaped American music. His work did more than fill rooms with music; it was warm sunlight that filled the soul, building a community, a language, and a feeling of family that generations of fans …

Eric Adams Responds to Andy Cohen’s New Year’s Eve Rant

Eric Adams Responds to Andy Cohen’s New Year’s Eve Rant

Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams isn’t holding back in his response to Andy Cohen‘s criticism during Wednesday night’s CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live special with Anderson Cooper. “Another sloppy drunken rant. If anyone actually cares about him, they’ll tell him to get help,” Adams wrote on X Thursday evening. “New Yorkers aren’t laughing with him. They are concerned about him. Public intoxication is a disease. He should seek help. He was safe in Times Square because we did our job. Again. Seek help. AAA: Andy’s Alcohol Anonymous.” The post comes after Cohen and Cooper were joined by The Office actor B.J. Novak for their annual booze-fueled New Year’s Eve show, and Cohen shared his thoughts on Adams’ term as it was coming to a close. “I just want to say, you got your pardons. Now go off into the sunset,” he said. “We’ll fiddle with what we have — with what you left us with. Go dance away. We’ll see you at all the parties. You partied your way through four years; we’ll …

Andy Cohen, Anderson Cooper Talk ‘Heated Rivalry’ on New Year’s Eve

Andy Cohen, Anderson Cooper Talk ‘Heated Rivalry’ on New Year’s Eve

Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper are chiming in on Heated Rivalry, Canadian streamer Crave and HBO Max’s gay hockey series that became a surprise breakout hit at the end of 2025. The beloved pair reunited on Wednesday to host their booze-fueled annual special, New Year’s Eve Live, on CNN. At one point during the special, Cooper admitted he felt a little strange about sleeping in Cohen’s bed that The Real Housewives franchise producer seemingly gave to him. “Just the bed frame. I didn’t give you the mattress,” Cohen clarified. “I thought it made us closer, like better brothers.” As the two hosts bickered (very typical of the longtime friends), a laughing Cooper replied, “This isn’t Heated Rivalry.” He was referencing the megahit series that centers on two rival hockey stars, Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) and Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams), who face an unexpected challenge when they develop feelings for each other, complicating their careers and the sport’s expectations. “Ohhh Heated Rivalry,” Cohen said with a laugh before beginning to ask who of them would be the show …

In 2023, the Watch What Happens Live! host opened up to CBS News about parenting, saying: “I think my priorities have completely shifted. I think my sense of accomplishment has totally changed.

That was a rough two-and-a-half hours, you know?’” As Andy prepares for his big night, join HELLO! as we take a look back at his adorable family and how the single dad came to be a parent. © Instagram Andy was born and …
