There are a few signifiers that immediately let you know you’re watching Bravo’s Summer House: the most extravagant costume parties imaginable, which finish weirdly early; a front door everybody struggles to open; and relationships that viewers can tell are doomed from the start but the people in them somehow never can.

Once upon a time, actresses past a certain age were forced to accept small, dull background roles. Their best years were behind them, right? Thank goodness those days are over — and if you want living proof of that, here’s Nicole Ari Parker. The 54-year-old’s career has never been hotter, starting with her role as […]

There are many ways to make your mark in the world of reality TV: You can be confrontational or outspoken. You can be utterly adorable. You can say something shocking, hilarious or offensive.

On her seventh season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa Vanderpump’s tagline was “The crown is heavy, darlings.
