Cocktails and Gossip

We start with a tribute to Dolly Parton, who we sadly lost on August 25th. We share a funny story about her that we hadn't heard before...and talk about the way that she fought the patriarchy, yet never considered herself a feminist. We will miss you dearly, Dolly. Big news in Beverly Hills. We're hearing Leah Remini is also joining the cast! We're also hearing this is the heaviest salary year ever for RHOBH...what do we think this means for the show and for other Bravo shows? And, in other casting news, we're also being told that Scheana will join the cast of The Valley for Season 4. Does this mean someone else on the cast has to go? We think it might. We get a lot questions about Lindsay and Carl from Summer House. Are they getting back together? Here's what we know. KJ has been seen with Remi Bader...while we knew who she was we found that a lot of Cocktailers didn't, so B gives us a little more information about her background and career. We relive the Baby Sister saga and Amanda teaches B about the "formula" that tells you how much younger of a person you can date. We don't make the rules, Kyle. Will West and Amanda be on In the City? We share our thoughts on that and why it would make sense. Last but not least, Farah Aldjufrie is expecting a baby boy and announced who the father is. But Cocktailers knew back in July after she announced her pregnancy.

Tasha Beg, pop culture and astrology expert joins us this week! We're in eclipse season for the month, and Tasha tells us what this eclipse season means for all of us, and which signs will see some activation at the end of the month. And of course, we want to know what's in the charts for our favorite shows and for our favorite Bravolebs, including which Housewives are looking at some big changes astrologically. Tasha also sees some VERY interesting things coming up in Amanda Batula and West Wilson's charts starting August 28th into early 2027. And if the Summer House casts' lives all seem a little chaotic, well, it's true and it's coming out in the charts. Tasha tells us who she's seeing relationship changes for, and who she sees money coming up for in the next year. Podcast exclusive: B is hearing about a new Bravo show being cast.

B went to the House of Stassi premiere party and met the cast - she spills all the details. Plus, our thoughts on the first episode. In the City is over and the second reunion episode had some juicy tidbits. Are Lindsay and Danielle friends for a reason or a season? Is Bravo going to let Eoin get away with calling Yvonne an "effing idiot" not once but twice? And we have to talk about Amanda and Kyle's sex life. Or lack thereof. We are flabbergasted. Why is Real Housewives of Orange County making Amanda sad? And we have some tea on Vicki's kids' relationship with each other. We do a mini-deep dive on the lawsuit that was filed against Leva's company that alleges the bartenders weren't paid minimum wage...if this is true, Leva could be facing a large financial fine, not to mention significant legal fees. Last but not least, we have some HOT tea about Real Housewives of Beverly Hills casting. This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsor, Nutrafol.

We start with some Met Gala tea to cap off Met Gala week. We were a little nervous for Ciara, but she seemingly avoided a wardrobe malfunction. Now that we know what we know about West and Amanda, was this latest episode of Summer House the worst yet? What is "duper's delight" and why is everyone talking about it this week? What was Amanda's motivation in going so hard for Ciara in her conversation with Mia? We have slightly differing opinions. Why we think Kyle truly was surprised when Ciara brought up a trial separation. Bailey and Carl: will they or won't they? We think they won't and explain why. Will we see Ben and Sabrina next season? We think not... This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors: -Hulu: Whatever it is you're into, Hulu has it all. No filler. No fluff.
