Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20: Look Who’s Coming Back!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Bravo is shaking up The Real Housewives of Orange County.

With a very familiar face.

During a taping of The Bravos BravoCon in Las Vegas on Friday, November 14, Vicki Gunvalson was surprised by Andy Cohen in front of a legion of fans.

”Vicki, would you join us as a housewife for Season 20?” Cohen asked the OG of the OC.

The 63-year-old appeared emotional, giving the executive producer a hug and exclaiming, “Yes!”

Gunvalson — who was a full-time cast member when the franchise debuted in 2006 — appeared on 14 seasons of the series before announcing her departure in January 2020.

“I will always be the OG of the OC, but it’s time to say goodbye to The Real Housewives of Orange County. It’s been an incredible ride for 14 years and I want thank all of you for your support, for your love and for ‘whooping it up’ with me along the way,” she wrote in a lengthy statement at the time.

“I’ve been working on new projects that will be exciting, empowering and inspirational. My podcast with Westwood One will be launching soon and I will have much more to say about this on ‘Whoop it up with Vicki.’

“I hope you will join me with my new journey so please stay tuned. I love all my fans, and I want to thank Bravo and Evolution for this incredible experience which my family and I have will never forget.”

This piece of casting news comes after Gunvalson and former co-star Tamra Judge squashed their feud.

“We’ve had a lot of ups and downs in our 20 years. I always say we’re like sisters,” Tamra told Us Weekly on November 5, adding:

“It’s that love-hate relationship all the time. I’m talking sisterly love, like, you have little arguments. And then, of course, being on a show together, there’s always ups and downs — especially the type of show that we were on together.”

The Real Housewives of Orange County cast from Season 19 included Judge (who may now be gone), Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, and Katie Ginella.

Shannon Storms Beador, for her part, was asked about the aforementioned moment during the BravoCon 2025 panel Getting Lucky at the Love Hotel, claiming she was very pleased with the casting move.

“You know, I’m so excited for Vicki,” she said, before sharing an anecdote from BravoCon 2023.

“And it was really funny… Two years ago, when she won the Wifetime Achievement award, [Vicki] came back to the seat and said something like, ‘Oh, why didn’t Andy pull an orange out of his pocket?’ And he did that last night… I’m so excited for her.”

Bravo is yet to announced who will be joining Vicki on Season 20.

Are you psyched to have her back?

Sophie Turner Pregnant: The Rumor & The Truth

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Sophie Turner has been pregnant more than once — and it was not always by design.

Following her split with ex-husband Joe Jonas, the beloved actress has been making changes in her life.

She found a new boyfriend. Despite reports of a split, they appear to be together again.

Does she have another child on the way? Here’s everything that we know:

Sophie Turner has two children

In July of 2020, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas welcomed their first child.

That child was Willa, their first daughter.

In early 2024, the actress opened up to British Vogue about feeling uncertain when she first became pregnant.

However, she soon realized that, despite her doubts, she did want to become a mother.

Two years after becoming parents, in July of 2022, Sophie and Joe welcomed Baby #2.

The erstwhile couple named their second daughter Delphine.

Both children became the subject of a bitter custody dispute when Sophie and Joe split.

However, it appears that the conflict has died down.

After four years, they filed for divorce

Late in the summer of 2023, Joe Jonas filed to divorce Sophie Turner after only a couple of weeks of split speculation.

She apparently learned about the filing online, the same as the rest of us did.

What followed was something very rare in the world of celebrity divorces: a soon-to-be ex-husband receiving massive backlash.

A hamfisted and wildly inconsistent smear campaign took off against Sophie. Whether Joe approved of it or not, he received a lot of angry social media messages.

The smear campaign soon died down. This is, again, extremely rare.

Of course, the unexplained silence of the divorce-related vitriol has not put any of the mom-shaming on pause.

The Blast reported on much more recent instances of very strange commenters slamming Sophie for her demeanor at a festival — or perhaps simply for attending one at all when she is a mother.

It’s good to remember that there are entire tabloid ecosystems that generate profits from disparaging famous women. There’s a market for that. A sick appetite.

You don’t need a high-powered divorce attorney and a PR firm to smear a famous woman.

Is Sophie Turner pregnant?

More recently, Sophie Turner has been in a relationship with Peregrine Pearson.

Peregrine is the son of Michael Pearson, the 4th Viscount Cowdray.

(Sometimes, it is wise to close your eyes and remind yourself to Europe is not real, and it cannot hurt you)

Though their romance has appeared to be on-again, off-again, recent evidence suggests that they are currently together.

However, at this time, there is no evidence that Sophie Turner is pregnant.

We know based upon past experience that, if she were expecting, she might not rush to share the news.

But given that her most recent outing involved wearing a bralette instead of a shirt (wise, when attending a summer festival), it would take a minor feat of illusion magic to conceal a baby bump.

If she had one. Which she does not.

Perhaps, one day, Sophie will opt to have more kids if she likes. But she has two amazing kids already.

Indiana Republican called out by Trump on redistricting is swatted

An Indiana Senate Republican who President Donald Trump called out in a Truth Social post Sunday for not backing the White House’s plan to draw new congressional maps was later targeted by a swatting, according to local authorities.

Greg Goode, who Trump posted was a “RINO” he was “Very disappointed in” Sunday was targeted hours later by what Vigo County Sheriff Derek Fell called a “swatting” in a statement.

Despite Trump’s social media post insinuating otherwise, Goode has not publicly announced his position on redistricting.

Fell said that around 5 p.m. Sunday “an email was sent to the Terre Haute Police Department advising harm had been done to persons inside a home, located in southeastern Vigo County,” Fell said. “This information was immediately relayed to the Sheriffs Office, at which point deputies responded to the home, which was the home of Senator Greg Goode. Attempts were initially unsuccessful to raise anyone at the residence, but ultimately contact was made with persons inside the home.”

Fell added that Goode and others “were secure, safe, and unharmed. Investigation showed that this was a prank or false email (also known as ‘swatting’).”

In a statement, Goode said he and his family were “victims,” and thanked Fell and Terre Haute Police Chief Kevin Barrett for their “professionalism.”

The news comes as efforts to redistrict have ground to a halt in Indiana on Friday, after Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray refused to reconvene the chamber to redraw congressional maps in favor of Republicans.

The president threatened earlier Sunday that a list of Senate Republicans resistant to gerrymandering the state would be “released to the public later this afternoon,” which so far seems to have not materialized by this evening.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.

Earlier this month, Goode held a town hall in Terre Haute on redistricting, and 71 people spoke out against it and nobody spoke for it.

On Tuesday, Indiana lawmakers are expected to convene at the Indiana Statehouse for organization day, a largely ceremonial and administrative event kicking off next year’s session. Already, pro-redistricting advocates have announced a statehouse rally calling for redistricting.

Cardi B: You Guys, I’m Afraid Offset May KILL ME!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

By all accounts, Cardi B should be a very happy woman right about now.

The musician just gave birth a few days ago to her fourth child, her very first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs.

And yet it’s the father of Cardi B’s first three kids that is causing such problems at the moment that the rapper can’t exactly enjoy her blessed newborn.

Bot when she’s afraid of getting murdered at the hands of Offset.

On Sunday, Cardi B jumped on social media to allege that she is “still being harassed and threatened to the point that I feel like my life in danger,” telling followers and fans that this sort of thing is “all fun and games until it’s too late.”

To be clear, the artist never mentions Offset by name.

But she does claim that this harassment has been going on for a year — and it’s worth remembering that ffset recently suggested that Cardi’s kid with Diggs could be considered his child according to Georgia law.

He has since deleted the Tweets that made this allegations.

(Twitter)

Cardi B went on:

“Sometimes I sleep and I wonder, ‘This is not normal.’ You see crime documentaries … You see sh-t on social media about women getting killed every other day.”

For the record, the star would like to be left “TF alone.”

Cardi B and Offset wed secretly got married in 2017 and have 3 kids together; the former filed for divorce a second time in 2024 after quite a few ups and downs in her relationship.

For example?

On March 29, via X Spaces, the Bodak Yellow star claimed that her estranged spouse had been stalking and harassing her amid their pending divorce.

In response, she reached out to Offset’s current girlfriend.

“This guy is upset that I sent his girlfriend text messages of him begging me, saying he was going to take away his life, saying he was going to take away my life,” Cardi said of her ex. “All that sh-t, he was mad.”

Cardi B also alleged that Offset had been harassing her latest boyfriend.

“Mind you, he sent text messages to somebody I was dealing with of videos of me and him having sex. That’s the kind of sh-t that I was dealing with for the past two months,” she added.

Years prior, Cardi denied she was in an abusive situation with Offset. But we’re guessing she might change her story at this point.
