Andy Cohen revealed that the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” will be on hold for a “minute.”
“Beverly Hills, we’re taking a minute break,” the Bravo head honcho told E! News earlier this week, adding, “and then we’ll be back shooting with them in the new year.”
Cohen, 54, did not go into detail as to why the LA-based reality show is not following their usual programming schedule.
He also did not comment on which “Housewives” may be back for the next season.
The most recent stint of “RHOBH” featured Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Crystal Kung Minkoff, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, Diana Jenkins, and Kathy Hilton as a “friend of” the cast.

“I had said that I would only be willing to come back if the cast [changed],” the fan favorite told TMZ in October.
“If it was completely the same, absolutely not,” she continued. “Because I feel they are two bullies that intimidate a lot of the other girls.”
While Bravo works out its casting issues with “RHOBH,” Cohen shared which franchises are currently filming.
“We are shooting the new ‘Real Housewives of New York City’ that I’m excited about and then we’ll get ‘Legacy’ going,” the executive producer teased to E! News, while remaining tight-lipped about further details.
Cohen also noted that the “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” — which is airing right now — is “in the middle of a gangbuster season.”
He said Season 3 will wrap in early 2023 — much like the “Real Housewives of Potomac,” which he said is also having a “fantastic season.”
Cohen concluded by sharing that fans can expect “lots more ‘Ultimate Girls Trips’” in the new year, which will return to Peacock for a third season.
“It’s interesting, [it’s] one of those hilarious things of the internet, which is, every time it was mentioned, it was ‘Please, no Ramona.’ You go on Twitter, ‘Get rid of Ramona!’” Cohen joked.
“But the second Ramona announces she’s leaving, ‘Nooo, Ramona’s a legend!’ Like, it’s so funny. It’s so funny.”
Cohen, 54, went on to praise Singer, 65, for giving the franchise many years of “incredible television” — before suggesting her exit seemed a little shady.

“I had a great conversation with her about this a few weeks ago and she was — I think she’s very bullish on what she has going on in her life right now,” he continued. “I’m going to leave it there.”
Singer exclusively told Page Six last week that she was leaving the hit reality series after joining the cast in 2008.

“I do not want to do the show any longer,” she told us. “It’s not for me at this time.”
However, other sources told us that the network didn’t offer her the opportunity to join the “Legacy” series — a potential reason for Cohen’s skepticism regarding her exit.
“I’ve been there for a long time. I mean, never say no, never say never,” she said on the “Reality with the King” podcast late last month when asked about joining the spinoff.
“But I also feel like the ‘Legacy’ [show], how could it be really good? The people they are gonna bring back are the people they didn’t want to renew anyways.”

Singer continued her rant by joking that the show should be called “‘The Loser Show’” or “‘Loser Legacy.’”
Warning: if you see any of the following women in the Hamptons next summer, check for cameras.
Page Six hears that Bravo’s short list for cast members for the brand new “Legacy” spinoff of the “Real Housewives of New York City” are Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, Dorinda Medley, Luann De Lesseps and Sonja Morgan, plus one or two more names we’re yet to pin down.
Meanwhile, we’re told the longest-serving “RHONY” star, Ramona Singer, has not made the cut.
Sources say that contracts haven’t been signed, but talks are underway with all the potential stars.
Earlier this year, the network announced that it was putting the 14-year-old series through a major overhaul.
Execs split the series into two shows: “The Real Housewives of New York City,” which has an all-new cast of untried stars, and the “Legacy” version, which would feature a cast of fan favorites from earlier seasons.
For some of the returning cast, they’ve reached way back into the archives. Zarin only appeared on the first four of the thirteen seasons that have aired, but her memorable battle with former cast member Bethenny Frankel has given her an outsize presence in the minds of many “Housewives” addicts, in spite of her brief stint.

Only four of the new stars have appeared on-screen together. Zarin, Bensimon, De Lesseps and Morgan overlapped fleetingly for Season 4. That was Morgan’s first season, but Medley didn’t join until Season 7.

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star’s boyfriend, Paul “Paulie” Connell, tells Page Six exclusively that police discovered Catania’s smashed car in Linden.
“The car was involved in a chase and the occupants of the car crashed into a pole,” Connell says. “We believe there were arrests made when the car finally came to a stop, but not sure of the exact details.”
He adds, “The car is totaled. It looks like possibly one of the occupants was injured — or two of them.”
Catania, 51, went to see if the thieves had left any of her belongings behind, but Connell reveals there was “nothing left” in the vehicle.
“On the flip side, we are currently out car shopping,” Connell says. “She wants to make sure that people know, always lock your cars and keep your key fobs stored in a safe place.”

Connell also shared with us footage of the totaled car that shows just how smashed the front of the Porsche was.
Page Six broke the news that Catania’s luxe car was stolen from Connell’s home in Edgewater, NJ, last weekend.
“Dolores is determined to find her car with the help of authorities,” an insider told Page Six exclusively, adding that a police report had been filed in Bergen County.
“She is aggravated but also really shaken up over the fact that someone would steal it right out of Paulie’s driveway,” the source continued.

“He didn’t give her a ring, so she didn’t move in [with him], but he just got her a Porsche,” Jackie Goldschneider said to the group, to which her husband, Evan, quipped back, “It means, ‘I’m just going to get you a car instead of a ring.’”
A “hot” Lisa Rinna, who was “dripping sweat” during BravoCon interviews, suggested that “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” should take a “break.”
The veteran Bravolebrity — who’s held a CGI diamond since 2014 — described Season 12 as “f–king rough,” “brutal” and “horrible” while chatting with Derek Zagami at the Javits Center in New York City this past weekend.
When asked what takeaways she could possibly implement into next season, Rinna, 59, began to say that she needs a break … but quickly corrected herself.
“I don’t know. I need a–we need a break. We need time,” she said, elaborating that she feels the ladies could benefit from “time to let it settle.”
“You know, I hope that we can, um, move forward,” she added.
During the three-part Season 12 reunion, which is still airing, Bravo boss Andy Cohen scolds Rinna for her “disastrous” social media activity, which prompts the reality star to tauntingly urge him to “put [her] on pause!”
The line is a reference to Cohen’s 2020 decision to fire “Real Housewives of New York City” alum Dorinda Medley, remaining hopeful at the time that her departure was simply a “pause.”
She recently flipped off fans at BravoCon after they booed her.

Despite the “WAP” rapper’s recent robbery she was all smiles…
As for Rinna — who wears Kathy Hilton’s “biggest bully in Hollywood” jab with pride — she has leaned all the way into her villain era.
In fact, after BravoCon attendees booed her last Friday, she held up her middle finger and proudly made her way across the stage to sit with her co-stars.

Many believe the former soap opera star knows her time with the network is up and is choosing to go out with a bang.
Back in August, however, a source told Page Six that the QVC maven was very much still on the show and insisted anything suggesting otherwise — including Rinna’s own Instagram posts — was simply not true.
Dolores Catania seems certain that Teresa Giudice can mend her fractured relationship with brother Joe Gorga and his wife, Melissa Gorga.
The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, 51, chatted with Page Six at BravoCon this weekend, revealing a sweet moment fans may have missed during a supersized “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” taping that aired Sunday night.
“It was a glimpse of hope when Teresa was on the stage and [Joe] was looking at her and he was clapping, looking up at her,” Catania exclusively told Page Six. “I saw a little softness going on there.”
Giudice’s longstanding feud with the Gorgas reignited this summer after the notorious table-flipper brought up unfounded claims that Melissa, 43, cheated on Joe, 48, with actor Nick Barrotta. (The couple has vehemently denied the allegations.)

An explosive interaction between the trio ensued at a party that was filmed for the Season 13 finale. Given the drama, the Gorgas decided to skip Giudice’s Aug. 6 nuptials to her now-husband, Luis “Louie” Ruelas.
Catania considers this admission to be yet another sign that a reconciliation is indeed possible.

“My reaction to that is there’s hope,” said the Bravolebrity, who has known Teresa and Joe since childhood.
“That’s a glimpse of hope for me. In life, there’s been people that are physically sick beyond the brink of death and come back from it.”
Sources tell Page Six thoughtful producers made the adjustment so…
However, she also expressed optimism that the two parties would eventually patch things up.
“I wouldn’t say this is terminal yet, if I were to speak in medical terms,” the former surgical assistant explained at the time. “I’ve seen people come back from a lot worse.”
Addressing the infidelity speculation, Catania said she “would never believe such a thing” about Melissa and Joe’s marriage. She also stated that she found the mounting discord “very sad” as she is friends with all involved.

The “RHONJ” cast was split into two panels at BravoCon due to the current conflict between Giudice and the Gorgas.
Saturday’s first “RHONJ” panel at BravoCon featured the Gorgas, Margaret Josephs and her husband, Joe Benigno, and Jackie Goldschneider and her husband, Evan Goldschneider.

“Real Housewives” mastermind Andy Cohen said during a Sunday “Ask Andy” panel that it was “better” to keep the Garden State crew separated because of the contention — and to not spoil the show’s forthcoming installment.
“We’re on the precipice for a really great season of ‘New Jersey’ airing, so we’re in a really limbo-y place where if we bring them all out together, they’re in a different place than they were the last time we saw them all as a group,” Cohen told fans.
“It’s a balancing act because you want things to play out on TV, but here we are, and I want to give everyone a good time, so it’s a little bit of a juggling act.”

Meghan King called her plastic surgeon “an artist” as she showed the results of the dual nose and boob jobs she had earlier this month.
“Cat’s out of the bag,” the “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum told her Instagram followers on Tuesday.
“I’ve gotten my nose upgraded and my chest upgraded after 10 years.”
Two days later, King spoke to US Weekly about how “natural” and “enhanced” she felt following the procedures by surgeon Dr. Michael Niccole.
“I totally felt at ease … which is what I wanted!” King gushed.
The 38-year-old reality star went on to note via social media that she did have concerns before going under the knife about “look[ing] too different.”
“That’s where my anxiety’s coming from right now,” she said in a throwback video taken the morning of her appointment, noting that she feared her “boobs” being “so big that I look like I’m bigger than I am.
“And don’t want this to look like a different person,” she said, gesturing to her nose.
One week after getting work done, King was “horrified” upon seeing the shape of her still-swollen nose sans bandages.
“My nose was wider than it was originally,” she explained via social media. “You guys, I had a vasovagal reaction … I puked.”

The swelling rapidly down and her nose looked visibly thinner by the end of the day, King recounted, mentioning she was “blown away by the difference … after just a few hours.”
King also posted an image of Squidward, the large-nosed squid neighbor from “Spongebob Squarepants,” with the text: “Another photo of my original nose.”
King was previously married to Jim Edmonds, finalizing her divorce from the former MLB player in May 2021. The former couple share daughter Aspen, 5, and twin sons Hart and Hayes, 4.
“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Diana Jenkins is appearing virtually at the Season 12 reunion because she contracted COVID-19, multiple sources confirm to Page Six.
“She’s quite disappointed not to be able to do her first-ever reunion in person, and she would have loved to have been there — and be healthy — with the rest of the ladies,” an insider close to the Bravo newcomer tells us exclusively.
“But, of course, she doesn’t want to get anyone else sick.”
We’re told Jenkins, 49, found out she had the coronavirus last week when she returned home to Los Angeles from a family trip to Hawaii. (The recent vacation footage shared via her Instagram Story are throwback posts, another insider says.)
“Last week, she returned to LA from Hawaii to make preparations for the reunion. She had a couture dress fitting that she was very excited about,” the first source explains.
“She believes she got COVID while traveling back to LA from Hawaii. She is still testing positive.”
A rep Jenkins did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The reunion is taping Friday. Cast members Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Lisa Rinna, Crystal Kung Minkoff, Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke as well as “friend of” Kathy Hilton are all expected to hash out their issues in front of host Andy Cohen.
Though Jenkins will not physically be in the room, a source previously told Page Six that she was “very much looking forward” to discussing the drama she was involved in during her inaugural season.
“It’s a chance for her to clear some things up,” the insider said.
While her feuds with Beauvais, 55, and Stracke, 50, earned plenty of screen time, recent developments in Jenkins’ life — not captured by Bravo cameras — have commanded equal attention from insatiable “Housewives” fans.
On Aug. 26, Page Six exclusively revealed that Jenkins had hired 24/7 security after receiving death threats from viewers over her increasing conflict with Beauvais.
“Dozens, if not hundreds, of people have posted messages attacking Ms. Jenkins for an act that she never took,” Jenkins’ lawyers said in the suit, obtained by Page Six.

“This action is the only way Ms. Jenkins has to fight back against the anonymous coward who decided to put her reputation, livelihood and life in jeopardy.”
“She wants to end these lies about Epstein and being a madame,” a source previously told us. “Right now, she’s really focused on shutting down all that’s been said about her.”
Jenkins sent out cease-and-desist letters to various media outlets and social media personalities who perpetuated the gossip — including former “RHOBH” star Dana Wilkey — and was successful in having some of the disparaging content scrubbed from the internet.

The wealthy philanthropist also made headlines when she donated $100,000 from her Sunela Foundation to the alleged victims of disgraced attorney Tom Girardi, the estranged husband of her good pal and co-star Jayne, 51.
“This isn’t a dig at Erika,” a source told Page Six of Jenkins’ generous gift.
“It’s actually meant to send a message to the cast members who have expressed support for Tom’s alleged victims but never seem to do anything to help them.”
Notably, “RHOBH” stars Stracke, Beauvais and Kung Minkoff, 38, have questioned Jayne about her possible involvement in Girardi’s embezzlement scandal and have expressed vocal support for his alleged victims.
Kemsley, 46, and Richards, 53, have also vocalized support for the victims, but their line of questioning for Jayne has been softer.
“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
Peacock is temporarily slashing prices as it prepares to welcome a whole new slate of titles this fall. The NBC-owned streamer announced a new deal today that offers a heavy discount to Peacock Premium subscribers as Bravo and NBC titles land in their library.
Under the new deal, which is being branded as a “fall celebration offer,” new subscribers can get Peacock Premium for $1.99 per month or $19.99 per year during the month of September. Peacock offers multiple tiers — the most basic of which is free and includes the least content — but typically charges $4.99 per month of $49.99 per year for Peacock Premium.
The deep discount comes as Peacock prepares to become the “go-to platform for NBC series,” per today’s press release. Shows like Law & Order, La Brea, Quantum Leap and Saturday Night Livewill all land on Peacock the day after new episodes air, joining the Bravo content (The Real Housewives, Top Chef and Below Deck franchises) that’s already coming to the platform the next day.
It’s a new release strategy for NBCUniversal, which previously dropped new titles on Hulu the next day. NBC titles will no longer stream on Hulu and will instead begin streaming on Peacock the day after they air, starting Sept. 19. So, you’ll have to head to Peacock to get your fix of hits like the One Chicago franchise, late night shows like Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers, or NBC dramas like New Amsterdam and comedies like Young Rock.
Hulu is losing a large chunk of key programing with the shift of NBC titles to Peacock, but the streamer has some strong original content of its own coming up that’s only available on their platform. In September, Hulu is debuting a new season of The Handmaid’s Tale, plus a second season of The Kardashians(whose predecessor, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, used to air on the NBCUniversal-owned E! Network).
But if you’re more of a Kyle Richards fan than a Kim Kardashian stan, Peacock is the place to be — just be sure to lock in that deal before the end of September, or you’ll be stuck paying premium prices.
Dorinda Medley slammed “lapdog” Jill Zarin as “thirsty” for trying to force her way into an appearance on “Housewives” star Eva Marcille’s radio show.
The former “Real Housewives of New York City” stars began hurling insults on each other after a night of cocktails during Thursday’s episode of “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Ex-Wives Club.”
The drama started when Zarin, 58, asked Marcille if she could cameo or at least sit in on the “RHOA” alum recording her show in the morning, which set Medley off.
“What are you, a lapdog?” Medley, 57, said in a confessional. “This is so awkward and thirsty.”
Marcille, however, wasn’t offended by Zarin’s request, explaining in a confessional that while the request wasn’t “bad intended,” it was just poor “timing.”
As Zarin exited the room, she quipped to co-star Phaedra Parks that Medley was being “such a f–king bitch.”
“This is Dorinda being a bitch,” Zarin told Parks. “She tried to be nice tonight, but she couldn’t hold onto it.”
Jill Zarin called Dorinda Medley a “f–king bitch” while Medley compared her to a “lapdog.”Peacock
When Medley overheard the comments, Zarin — who said earlier in the episode they’d known each other 20 years despite never appearing on “RHONY” together at the same time — openly slammed her for not being a supportive friend.
Zarin then broke down in tears.
“I’m so f–king losing it you know what honestly I have been such a good friend to her I have been holding back so much with Dorinda, because I’m giving her such a pass,” Zarin cried to Parks.
“You don’t have to make me feel bad about it,” Zarin emotionally told Medley.Peacock
Parks, in an attempt to play mediator between the intoxicated women, told Medley that Zarin felt she wasn’t supportive enough over their years-long friendship.
Medley, however, defended herself saying that the pair haven’t been close in a long time and she hadn’t “seen Jill for years.”
Medley became angrier after Zarin suggested she hadn’t supported her over the years.Peacock
“After everything we’ve been through! Funerals, life you went to these people before me and you cried out of ridiculousness,” Medley said to Zarin — who got up and attempted to leave.
“There she goes, because she can’t deal with it,” Medley cried. “And there’s where you’re weak.”
Zarin eventually walked to bed and agreed with Medley that she’s “weak” and “can’t deal with it.”Peacock
Zarin got the last word in a confession, telling the camera that Medley’s “intolerable” behavior turned her into a “horrible person.”
“The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Ex-Wives Club” is available to stream on Peacock.
