‘Vanderpump Rules' Season 12 Teaser Pokes Fun at Cast Shake-Up: ‘Help Wanted'
"The faces may have changed, but my rules? They've stayed the same," Lisa Vanderpump says in a new Bravo clip In the wake of the cross-season drama dubbed Scandoval, 'Vanderpump Rules' overhauled its cast of characters around SUR owner Lisa Vanderpump going into Season 12. Bravo released a brief teaser for the upcoming season on Friday, poking fun at what came before to hint at what's coming next. The 15-second clip shows Lisa Vanderpump putting up a 'Help Wanted' sign on the door of her sexy, unique restaurant before looking at the camera and winking. A text card then states, 'It's time for a shift.' More from TheWrap 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 12 Teaser Pokes Fun at Cast Shake-Up: 'Help Wanted' The 8 Best New Shows Streaming on Netflix Right Now 'Gen V' Season 2 Trailer Shows Starlight Coming to Save the Day | Video 'King of the Hill' Season 14 Review: Hulu's Comforting Revival Avoids the Politics at Its Core 'The faces may have changed, but my rules? They've stayed the same,' Vanderpump says in the clip. You can watch the teaser for yourself, below. In November 2024, it was announced that Bravo's hit reality show 'Vanderpump Rules' was in for a total overhaul. Following two seasons of Scandoval, the show sought to build a new cast from the ground up around the former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star. The reboot will also include a retrospective special looking back at the first 11 seasons of the show. 'The last 12 years of filming have been an extraordinary run full of laughter, tears and everything in between,' Vanderpump said in a statement at the time. 'I can't thank enough those who have shared their lives. How I love you all. In the restaurant business, one shift always gives way to another. Cheers to the next generation of 'Vanderpump Rules.'' 'VPR's' big debacle began in the show's 10th season. At the time, Tom Sandoval allegedly cheated on his longtime girlfriend (and co-star) Ariana Madix — with her then-best friend, Raquel Leviss. Leviss herself, meanwhile, is the ex-fiancée of James Kennedy, who, you guessed it, was yet another cast member. You can see why they needed to reboot. The Scandoval drama continued into the show's 11th season, where Sandoval, Madix and Kennedy all returned. Leviss, on the other hand, did not. The scandal was big enough that it broke containment from the show itself, becoming a popular topic in tabloids and online circles. Since the news of the overhaul, Sandoval has been making appearances on other reality programs, such as 'The Traitors' and 'America's Got Talent,' while Madix is now the host of 'Love Island USA.' A release date for 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 12 has not been set. The post 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 12 Teaser Pokes Fun at Cast Shake-Up: 'Help Wanted' appeared first on TheWrap.

Dodgers welcome back Walker Buehler, who finds himself in a familiar place with Boston
BOSTON — The image is now permanently cemented in Los Angeles Dodgers lore: Walker Buehler, arms spread wide, rectifying the most trying months of his career and joining the rare club of pitchers who have recorded the final out to clinch a World Series. It was Buehler's years with the Dodgers in a nutshell: flashes of brilliance, alongside a kind of journey and brash cockiness that endeared him to a city. Advertisement That moment has replayed at Dodger Stadium almost every day this season. It's likely been viewed hundreds of thousands more times in homes across Los Angeles. Buehler said he's only seen it a couple of times, though. The moment that, as Clayton Kershaw said then, etched Buehler 'in Dodger glory and royalty forever,' is a cool memory, but that's about it. 'I don't think I really got super obsessed with it,' Buehler said. 'That moment means a lot to all of us, that we're a part of it, and the city and the fans that come out every day for us there.' The coolest thing about it, Buehler said Friday, is sharing that exclusive club with Josh Sborz, a former minor league teammate, fellow Dodgers draftee and a groomsman in his wedding. The baseball from his final strikeout of Alex Verdugo has since sold for $414,000, with the proceeds benefitting those impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires this past winter. If he stayed with the Dodgers that winter, Buehler may have induced one of the loudest roars from the crowd when the players received their World Series rings in April. Instead, Buehler collected his second ring on Friday afternoon, donning a green Boston Red Sox cap as he tries to right the ship again. Walker's new ring? Yeesh. 🔥 — Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 25, 2025 Buehler and the Dodgers had some dialogue this winter, with one report from AM 570's David Vassegh saying that Los Angeles, which didn't offer Buehler a qualifying offer, gave him a one-year offer of essentially equal value. Buehler wanted to come back and considered doing so. 'I think it would have been hard to leave that for anywhere except for (Boston),' Buehler said. Then the Dodgers went out and signed two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell. Afterward, Buehler took a one-year, $21.05 million deal from the Red Sox (the same as the qualifying offer would have been). Advertisement 'I think it was an interesting situation,' Buehler said. 'I think there's obviously two sides to that situation. We had conversations about it, we talked through it. And they went and signed guys that they wanted to sign. And I signed with a place that I wanted to play. It kind of it what it is.' The Red Sox checked boxes for Buehler. A passionate fan base and a franchise seemingly geared up to win. He'd grown accustomed to pitching in five different postseasons with the Dodgers and crafting a lore of dominating in the fall. It was a chance to take the strides he'd made last October after struggling in his return from a second Tommy John surgery and translate them into a full season. The situation gave him a chance to reestablish the value he had when he was earning Cy Young votes in his 20s. Most of that has come to pass. The Red Sox entered Friday at 55-49 and in postseason position. Buehler and his wife, McKenzie and daughter, Finley, have loved the Boston area. 'I'm enjoying the s—t out of it,' Buehler said. 'Our fans here are here long and loud. Kind of similar in a lot of ways to (Los Angeles). It's been a really fun year, outside of some of the playing stuff for me.' However, Buehler's first full season back from his second elbow surgery didn't start as planned. Through 17 starts, he's sporting a 5.72 ERA that ranks sixth-worst among pitchers with at least 80 innings under his belt this season. After an ugly start in Anaheim this season, he called his performance 'embarrassing.' His numbers are on par with how he did last summer with Los Angeles, when he left the team for a period in hopes of reworking his mechanics. It paid off that fall. Three strong starts and a memorable relief appearance got him where he is now. He's hoping he can conjure up some magic again, delivering seven strong innings and allowing just two runs in his last start against the Philadelphia Phillies. 7 innings of absolute work. — Red Sox (@RedSox) July 22, 2025 'I think everyone kind of knows I'm on a one-year contract, so you never know what's going to happen down the road,' Buehler said. His next start is Sunday — against the Dodgers. That will stir different emotions than Friday, when he received his ring and exchanged pleasantries with his former teammates. A group of Dodgers fans touring Fenway Park began cheering Buehler's name. His presence, in a lot of ways, is missed. Advertisement 'He means a lot to me personally,' Roberts said. Buehler spent Thursday with Kershaw and Kershaw's son, Charley, in the Boston area before stopping by the ballpark to see his old teammates. It's hard to call this weekend closure, Buehler said, because the door was closed long ago. Still, Sunday will be a different experience. 'I think that's the way it should be,' Roberts said. 'I'm looking forward to facing him.' Buehler, in typical fashion, did some mild chirping. 'The goal,' Buehler said, 'is go and to get one over on them.'

Cardi B Gave Polka Dot Nails a High-Fashion Spin
All products featured on Allure are independently selected by Allure editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate commission. Getty Images If I had to choose one defining print of summer 2025, it would totally be the polka dot. Polka dots are everywhere this season—on slip dresses, bikinis, capri pants, silk scarves, and now, Cardi B's nails. Cardi is the latest celeb to give the polka dot manicure a whirl, though the Am I the Drama? rapper added a special, high-fashion twist to her black-and-white set. Cardi's nails, which she showed off in a quick Instagram Story over the July 4 weekend, were a long almond shape with a black base and oversized white polka dots painted all over each nail from base to tip; there were about seven dots per nail. Most of her fingers stuck to this simple, classic black-and-white polka dot motif, but if you look closely at her pointer finger, you'll see the fashion girl shoutout: a teeny tiny Chanel logo nestled in the center of the middle dot. The instantly recognizable interlocking Cs are small and subtle enough that you might miss them at first glance, but this little detail truly adds so much to the mani. Cardi worked with manicurist Coca Michelle on the Chanel-inspired set, and the timing couldn't be better; she was in Paris and is currently attending Couture Fashion Week, so her nails definitely fit the vibe. (ICYMI, SZA recently added the Gucci logo print to her nails!) The polka dot manicure has been embraced by some of our fave nail trendsetters this summer, Cardi included. Sabrina Carpenter has been wearing it nonstop since the release of her latest single 'Manchild' and even added rhinestones to one set. Hailey Bieber is also a fan, teasing a new Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment with a lemon yellow dot mani to match. While celebs have pros on hand to craft their manis, you could easily create your own dotted design with a steady hand and dotting tool. There's still plenty of summer left to enjoy and plenty of time to connect—or in this case, paint!—the dots.
