'Real Housewives' has filmed in RI before. Do you remember their 2020 romp in Newport?
On May 7, the network teased four new shows in a cheeky X post. "IT'S. ALL. HAPPENING," read an Instagram caption from the NBCUniversal-owned cable network.
"Set against the shores of the Ocean State, 'The Real Housewives' franchise expands into the world of a tight-knit circle of Rhode Islanders who have deep community roots and families that go back generations," the official description said.
However, did you know that the "Real Housewives" have actually been in Rhode Island before?
"The Real Housewives of New York City" had a big blow-out in one of Rhode Island's most glamorous cities.
Here's a flashback to when the "The Real Housewives" were in the Ocean State.
In season 12, episode nine of "Real Housewives of New York City," the girls decide to go on a planned trip to Newport, Rhode Island.
"Newport is like a very shi shi place," show mainstay Ramona Singer said. "Great shops, great oysters, great restaurants, a lot of atmosphere."
Singer later said that Newport is akin to a miniature Southampton, New York.
The main cast stayed at the famous Castle Hill Inn.
"Look at the ocean," Luann de Lesseps said, marveling at the view from her inn suite.
They also went to Bannister's Wharf and visited the store tyler böe, 33 Bannister's Wharf #3009.
While the cast thought of Newport as a "shi shi" place, the episode was messy with some cast members wondering if they would be "thrown out of Rhode Island" for inappropriate behavior. They cast also had a fight between two of the stars over alcohol consumption.

Did Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Just Soft-Launch an Engagement?
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have never needed a red carpet to go public — but their phones might be doing the talking for them. On Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs star shared a 13-photo Instagram carousel recapping his offseason adventures, and it didn't take long for Swifties to zoom in. In one image, the couple sits at a dinner table, and on the screen of Kelce's iPhone? A black-and-white photo of him and Swift — sparking immediate speculation that it wasn't just a cute snapshot, but an engagement photo. More from SheKnows Taylor Swift & Blake Lively's Tension May Be Behind This Party Snub 'Is she holding up her hand with a ring on it?' one fan commented. 'Not to be that person,' another chimed in, 'but is she pointing at her hand like she's… engaged????' Adding to the frenzy: Swift's own phone appears visible in the same photo. Though slightly obscured, eagle-eyed fans claim her lock screen also features a matching couple shot — one seemingly from their Lake Como trip in May of last year, based on Kelce's striped sweater. For a couple that's never walked a red carpet together, dual lock screens feel like the most Swift-Kelce version of a soft launch. The post marked Kelce's first time featuring Swift directly on his Instagram grid — a big move for a relationship that's been public for nearly two years but still keeps its milestones low-key. Their fans, however, are not so subtle. Comments poured in: 'THE LOCK SCREEN!?' and 'They got married?!' That last theory stems from a separate incident earlier this summer. In June, a wedding planner posted a photo from Chicago Bears player Cole Kmet's wedding — and the invite list included 'Taylor and Travis Kelce,' seated at Table 13. While many chalked it up to wedding-day aesthetic, it was enough to send Swifties into overdrive. For what it's worth, Swift shut down marriage rumors just last month, referring to Kelce as 'my boyfriend' during a hospital visit in Florida. Still, sources close to the couple have confirmed they're 'on the same page' about the future. Still, insiders have confirmed to TMZ that the two are still not engaged, despite the cutesy lock screens and the mysterious ring on Swift's left hand — which happens to be not one, but three of Kelce's Super Bowl rings, mind you. One thing's still clear: the lock screens were no accident. In Swiftian terms, this is a curated kind of chaos — the kind that says, we know what you're looking for — and we just might be giving it to you.

"We Don't Care": Ashley Judd Shared An Insightful Message To Women That's Changing People's Perspectives
Actor and activist Ashley Judd shared a powerful message about being a woman of a certain age and why she supports the "I don't care" mindset. Related: Ashley, who starred in some of my favorite movies from the '90s thrillers like Heat (1995), A Time to Kill (1996), and Double Jeopardy (1999), posted a playfully encouraging video in the Baltic Sea about how she's kicking people's opinions to the wayside. "When I'm in my swimsuit, sometimes I get a little chafing, right down there, so I put on constatrch," she said in a July 22 Instagram post. "And then there's like a white thing there, and if you see it, I don't care." Ashley cited the "We Don't Care" club, a trend that includes hundreds of thousands of women around the world in perimenopause and menopause sharing what they no longer care about, which was founded by influencer Melani Sanders. The She Said actor explained how her inner child is also part of the "Make Stuff Up" club. Related: "And I have a jellyfish, it's the non-stinging kind, and I think the central nervous system is that part, and that may not be right, and I don't care," she added, picking up an actual jellyfish. "Because there's another club that my inner child belongs to and it's called the MSU club." "I'm also picking my crotch, and I don't care. The MSU club is the 'Make Stuff Up' club. And that's for inner children. As a post menopausal woman, I don't care if you don't like the MSU club for inner children," she continued. Related: Ashley did playful "tricks" in the water and expressed the importance of embracing our child-like behavior and wonder. "Because when we were little, it was really fun, and we don't care what people think of us." In the caption alongside the video, Ashley urged people to join her in this empowering movement. "If you let yourself be free, how would your True Self & Inner Child spend your Carefree Timelessness?" she wrote. "How can you let go of what others expect, think, need, want? What do YOU feel, need, want, from yourself?" In a world inundated with negativity, violence, and judgment, Ashley provided a necessary reminder that we can "let go of caring about stupid, controlling norms" and to "bask in the the unselfconscious being-ness" of our true selves. Responding to Ashley's message, one fan wrote, "Women are healing ourselves—in all the ways we feel intuitively called. And we don't give AF what the world thinks about it. Keep on keepin' sister Ashley." Related: "I❤️you Ashley! You are the best! Absolutely! So over worrying about all the gazes-the male gaze, the female gaze, the mother's/grandma's/judgemental auntie/HOA Karen/Chad, the total stranger gaze. The only gaze that matters is OURS!" another wrote. Someone else wrote, "Ohhh Ashley , I dream of having friends like you ! Society is so critical and judgemental , particularly toward aging and appearance. You are a joy to behold ❤️🥰👏 Please continue to share posts like this .Love you lots ❤️💯🥂." To learn more about the "We Don't Care" club, check out this insightful piece on Melani Sanders and the women of the trend. Now let's answer Ashley's question: "If you let yourself be free, how would your True Self & Inner Child spend your Carefree Timelessness?" Share your responses in the comments.
