Real Housewives star SNUBS A-lister after mistaking her for a regular fan
Former Real Housewives of New York star Ramona Singer is infamous for her lack of social graces. So it's hardly a surprise that the 68-year-old's bad manners were on full display when a 'fan' recently approached her at a party to say hi. However, the reality star was later stunned to discover that the fan in question was none other than Hollywood actress Emma Roberts. Singer then made a beeline back to Roberts after her daughter Avery urged her to fix the situation. In a video posted to social media, Singer says, 'So guess who I ran into!' She then pulls Roberts into frame and continues, 'She wanted to say hi to me and I said, "NOT now!"' Roberts added, 'I'm a big fan and she said, "Get away! NO!"' The American Horror Story actress then put her palm out to imitate Singer, implying that Singer had put her hand in her face while dismissing her. Avery then told her mother, 'You need to go fix it because you have no idea who you just shooed away!' After chastising Singer, Avery then went over to Roberts and apologized on her mom's behalf. Roberts then chimed in again and said, 'And now we're BFFs. All of us!' The actress is known for being a huge Real Housewives fan and has even been seen hanging out with Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay. Last year, Singer admitted that she 'never liked being famous' and was much happier since leaving RHONY. Singer was an original member of the Bravo reality series, which premiered in 2008, but was let go when the show got a reboot in 2021. Ramona was stunned to discover that the fan in question was none other than Hollywood actress Emma Roberts 'I never liked being famous. Isn't there a saying, "fame isn't what it's all cracked up to be?"' the Real Housewives alum told Us Weekly. 'I don't think I was really famous, but I guess I was sort of,' she added. While speaking to the outlet, the former Turtle Time podcast host also shared that she sympathized with major celebrities like Brad Pitt who were always photographed wherever they went. She explained that she and ex-husband Mario Singer were captured on camera while they were taking a vacation many years ago. 'I was on vacation once with my ex-husband, and [people] were in the trees, taking photos,' Singer recalled. 'I don't think fame is great, but I guess you have to get famous to be successful in entertainment.' However, interestingly enough, this is not the first time that Singer has shared this sentiment about her time in the spotlight. 'I haven't been on TV in two years now and I'm more relaxed now, I'm happier,' Singer told in March 2023. 'I don't have to deal with negative things being put out there that isn't true,' she added.

Reality star now unrecognizable after debuting shocking new look
She's one of the original fan favorites from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But Adrienne Maloof was branded 'unrecognizable' by fans after sharing a new photo of herself to social media last week. The 63-year-old had much smoother skin than usual along with plumper lips. 'Who is this?' asked one follower, while another wrote, 'Is Adrienne in the room with us now?' 'Thought this was Tana Mongeau,' wrote a third, who was referring to the 27-year-old YouTube star. Another fan went as far as to tag photo editing app FaceTune in the comments section. This isn't the first time that Maloof has been accused of touching up one of her photos. Back in April, the former reality star raised eyebrows after sharing a family photo to Instagram. She has a suspiciously smooth visage in the image and her makeup almost looked like a painting or cartoon. Fans were quick to point out her youthful appearance, with one gushing, 'You look 12. Wow!' Another wrote, 'I've seen toddlers look older than you. QUEEN!' 'Omg Adrienne you look 14 how do you do it,' asked a third. Adrienne was part of the original cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She departed the series after three seasons, but has returned for various guest appearances over the years. A number of fans also compared Adrienne's FaceTune fail to Real Housewives of New York star Ramona Singer, who was recently busted sharing an edited photo of herself to Instagram. 'She took a page out of Ramona's book,' joked one, while another wrote, 'Sponsored by FaceTune!' Another added, 'Filtering yourself but not the boys is diabolical lol but I respect it.' Meanwhile, filming is currently underway on the next season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Earlier this month, fashion designer Rachel Zoe, 53, confirmed that she will be making her grand return to the Bravo network as a full time star on the series. The former celebrity stylist notably had her own show called The Rachel Zoe Project which aired on Bravo from 2008-2013 for a total of five seasons. 'It's official. I am coming back to Bravo,' Zoe announced on Instagram. 'I am joining the cast of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.' She continued, 'It's been a while and you've been asking me to come back to television. 'And I said when the stars align or it makes sense or I have enough to say to share with all of you, and now is the time.'

Ramona Singer is right — New York should be proud of Daniel Penny, and he continues to prove it
It was Real Housewife meets Real Life hero. Ramona Singer, who attended the Daniel Penny Gala on Friday night, was heckled when she took to social media and posted a snap with the man of the hour — captioning it, 'So proud Daniel Penny !! #apennysaved #hero.' Fools online called the image 'foul' and blasted Singer for posing with Penny — with one writing, 'Even for you this is LOW.' Someone else chimed in, 'Proud of what exactly? He murdered a homeless man! You are shameless.' Whoever these half-wits are, they clearly did not follow a lick of Penny's sensational trial — in which he was found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide. 6 Former Bravo star Ramona Singer posted this picture with Daniel Penny from his namesake gala — and was dragged by online followers. Ramona Singer/Instagram Furthermore, if they found themselves in danger's way, they'd be lucky to have a selfless dude like Penny around. So count me in on Singer's assessment. Penny is a true protector. I sat in the courtroom throughout his month-long trial last year and watched as New Yorkers of all ages and races testified to the unholy terror they felt as Jordan Neely, a mentally ill drug addict with a history of assault, lunged toward passengers and ranted that he wanted to kill. 6 At the Daniel Penny Gala, the Long Island native gave a short but heartfelt speech thanking his legal team, family, girlfriend and all who supported him. Kirsten Fleming/NY Post The trial exposed the dysfunction of our city and the cowardice of pols, who allowed homelessness and dangerous mental illness to fester. It also showed the unquenchable appetite to insert a racial narrative where there was none. But the woke fever broke and both justice and common sense prevailed. It was a win for Penny but also for New Yorkers. On Friday, supporters of the Long Island native gathered at Manhattan's Union League Club for Penny's first-ever namesake gala, which was put on by his crack legal team, led by Steven Raiser and Thomas Kenniff. 6 The Daniel Penny Gala was put on by Penny's lawyers, Thomas Kenniff and Steven Raiser, who are seen embracing their client at the dinner. Courtesy of Doug Holt It was a chance for Penny to thank his supporters, and the three hope to make it an annual event that will raise money to help the mentally ill in New York. The dark wood room was filled with local power players devoted to bringing order back to the Big Apple, including former NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly. Former Dem Governor David Paterson charmed the crowd during a brief speech and Republicans Curtis Sliwa and Andrew Giuliani were on hand as well. And of course, Singer. 6 In a now famous photo, Daniel Penny's mother Gina Flaim touches his face as the pair walk into the courthouse. REUTERS For Penny, who is a Marine Corps veteran, it was a night of gratitude. 'New Yorkers are the reason I enlisted in the first place,' he said during a short but heartfelt speech. 'The response to the attacks on the World Trade Center is inspiring. Strangers sacrificing everything to help strangers. I admired and looked up to those who dedicated their lives to the service of others. That's the New York I grew up in.' But when he was facing trial for the death of Neely, Penny said, he was moved by the support he received from complete strangers who had nothing to gain and, in many cases, a lot to lose. For that, he was 'humbled and thankful,' a sentiment he extended to his legal team, as well as his parents, sisters and girlfriend — who, he said, 'who lost friends and stood up for me.' 6 Every day in court, Daniel Penny was stoic and poised. Steven Hirsch He also thanked his new employers, Marc Andreessen, David Ulevitch and Ben Horowitz of the a16z venture capitalism firm, for giving him a shot and allowing him to move forward with his life. Judge Jeanine Pirro, who was meant to co-host the event with 77 WABC's Sid Rosenberg, missed it after President Trump announced her appointment as the interim US Attorney for Washington, DC. She sent a voice message that drew applause when she compared Penny to the stoics of ancient Greece. There is no better way to describe the media-shy surfer dude. When I got a few minutes to chat with Penny and shake his hand, he expressed gratitude for my support and noted that the courtroom seats for the media — essentially wooden church pews — looked supremely uncomfortable. 6 After Daniel Penny was found not guilty, he and his lawyers, Steven Raiser and Thomas Kenniff celebrated at a Stone Street bar. Steven Hirsch But his seat was, undoubtedly, the least hospitable in the house. And to get there every day, he walked by heckling protesters and news cameras, without betraying a single emotion. Penny didn't seem to think he deserved much praise for that, but I still marvel over his superhuman poise and strength. On Friday night, he was much lighter and more charismatic, albeit overwhelmed with the attention. From how I see it, Penny is an old-fashioned hero: He doesn't want the praise or the spotlight. He just wanted to help when called.

'Real Housewives' has filmed in RI before. Do you remember their 2020 romp in Newport?
Bravo announced an Rhode Island expansion of the "Real Housewives." 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. Jay Stahl and Paul Edward Parker contributed to the reporting of this story. Rin Velasco is a trending reporter.

Bravo Puts 'Real Housewives Of New York City' On Indefinite Pause But 'Hopes' It Will Return
It's a sad day for Bravo fans, as the network has announced its plans to put "The Real Housewives of New York" on an indefinite pause. The news about the beloved iteration, which first aired on Bravo in 2008 and featured stars like Bethenny Frankel and Ramona Singer, arrived days after NBC Universal (Bravo's parent company) shared its plans to expand the "Real Housewives" series with a new city. According to a new report from Page Six, sources close to Bravo and "RHONY" producers have said the network is placing the series on an indefinite pause after 15 seasons on the air. However, it may not be the end of the show in the Big Apple. Page Six also confirmed that Bravo "hopes" the show will return in the future. "We're trying to figure that show out," an insider said. "We want to figure it out. We think there's still life in it." The news about the "RHONY" hiatus isn't the first time the network has halted the New York-based show. After season 13, which featured Sonja Morgan, Leah McSweeney, and newcomer Eboni K. Williams, Bravo canceled the reunion before saying they were at a "crossroads" regarding how to move the series forward. Months later, Andy Cohen shared that they were starting from scratch and hosting a "major casting search" across the city in hopes of breathing new life into the wildly popular version of the show. "And when you start from scratch, Beverly Hills was a really successful season 1 cast, Jersey was a really successful Season 1 cast, Salt Lake City was a really successful season 1 cast. Those were people who were in each other's lives, who knew each other, who were relatives. That's one of the things that is going to be fun about this. Because when we find people that we love, we can say, 'Who are your friends? Who else is in your life?'" he said. "I think it will be the rainbow that is New York City. That's the goal," he added. Loyal Bravo fans and "RHONY" defenders have already begun reacting to the news online, with one watcher saying they'd "never forgive Bravo for ruining their best franchise." Another viewer slammed the network for the "disrespect" they've shown the "RHONY OGs who built the franchise." "The OG RHONY was a wild, beautiful ride [and] truly iconic," a third fan posted. "I loved it deeply. The reboot had its moments, but let's be real, it didn't hit the same. I've already mourned the OG loss, but Bravo saying it's really over? I'm not okay." Although disappointing for some, Bravo's move to pause "RHONY" indefinitely may not be the end for the over-the-top production. In 2021, eight years after Bravo paused "The Real Housewives of Miami," the network announced its plans to reboot the show on its streaming app, Peacock. Cohen said in 2020 that he'd been a big "advocate for Peacock bringing back Miami." The revived cast includes returners Alexia Nepola, Lisa Hochstein, and Larsa Pippen, as well as newcomers Guerdy Abraira, Julia Lemigova, and Dr. Nicole Martin. It's also not lost on fans that the "RHONY" announcement came days after Bravo shared its plans to launch a new iteration of the "Real Housewives" franchise in Rhode Island. According to the press release, the series will follow a "tight-knit circle of Rhode Islanders who have deep community roots and families that go back generations." "With aspirational lives, thriving businesses and tangled family dynamics, these decade-long friendships prove that in a state this small, there's no escaping your past … or each other," it continued. But that's not the only new series joining the Bravo family. The cable service also shared three other shows that will hit the air, including a "Ladies of London" reboot, which will feature "British blue bloods, ambitious American expats, and glamorous international socialites," a "Valley" spin-off, starring Reza Farahan and MJ Javid, and a "Wife Swap" series featuring "Real Housewives."
