BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE

Norma Kamali steps Behind The Rope. Living Legend, Fashion Icon Norma Kamali.  Norma opens up about some of the highlights of her career such the Sleeping Bag Coat, the high heeled sneaker, her one piece red bathing suit worn by Farrah Fawcett in the iconic 1976 poster and styling Whitney Houston on the back cover of her 1985 debut album. We break down the relationship between celebrity and designer, the celebs Norma has worked with, and who she would love to design for. Norma discusses her involvement with Bravo’s Project Runway, Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, Tim Gunn, the show’s most notorious winner Christian Siriano, and whether shows like Project Runway “work” anymore. We analyze the changes in the fashion industry throughout the years, the current crop of Hollywood’s best and worst dressed, and the current crop of hot models such as Gigi and Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. Finally, we chat about the current state of the red carpet, the decreased ratings across the board for Awards shows, the future of fashion and how one size does not fit all.

Our live show has come and gone but what we thought was in the rear view mirror of the past, resurfaces on further leaked audio from today’s show. Thats right, more leaked audio from our live show and yes, the drama is real.  Did someone say PK? Fear not, we cover oh, so very much more than just that dra-ma. Camille Grammer’s RHOBH return, Mauricio and Lala, Rich AF Housewives, the return of Amanda Frances, Andy’s problem keeping housewives quiet, kicking certain RHOM to the curb, marrying Adrienne Maloof and last, but sure as fu*k not least, visiting Kelly Dodd in jail. Like we said, its a jam packed episode!

Kathy Hilton stepped down last week from her role as Grand Marshal Icon at WeHo’s 2026 pride. This week, more facts surfaced which seem to suggest there is more than originally thought to meet the eye. Speaking of RHOBH, Garcelle revealed, finally, the shocking secret reason she really quit RHOBH and it was not at all what anyone expected. No Sutton and the rest of the diamond holders, it does not have to do with you. Last, but not least, as Dorit’s foreclosure was moved, yet again (Ok June 23rd, we see you), Dorit says Amanda Frances cannot have her house, says PK is fabricating a lot of financial facts about her and still, seems, a little disconnected with the true gravity of her financial situation.

Harry Hamlin threatens RHOBH with a new stern message heard loud and clear around the BravoVerse. Vanderpump Rules moves on to greener pastures. Can we say cancellation? The Valley Persian Style lives to see another day. Vicki Gunvalson prepares in overdrive for her return in a mere few weeks when RHOC 20 premieres. Next Gen LA spills the tea. Last, but not least, Jeff Lewis is snubbed by Bravo but all is not as it seems.

It has happened again. Jeff Lewis has fired yet another employee. As they say, another one bites the dust. Rumors surface AGAIN about Camille Grammer and Crystal Kunk Minkoff’s return to RHOBH as chopping block rumors grow stronger by the day. Yes and maybe please. Lisa Barlow lets us know about a very different upcoming RHOSLC season. Last, but not least, the pitfalls of Housewives continues to claim its next victim as life after seems to have taken another one of our favs.
