Real Housewives

Garcelle Beauvais had a terrifying situation blow up at her Los Angeles home over the weekend ... after someone made a bogus 911 call claiming there was a man with a weapon at the actress' Los Angeles home.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... on Sunday night, police received a call for a possible assault with a deadly weapon and shots fired. We're told the caller claimed he was Garcelle's ex-boyfriend, and said he was armed with a sawed-off shotgun.

When officers arrived at the scene, the caller was still on the phone, but they refused to meet cops. After searching the property, police found no evidence of a crime and determined the incident was a "swatting."

Angie Katsanevas is taking her Real Housewives spotlight straight to Capitol Hill ... 'cause TMZ has learned she'll testify before Congress on supporting franchise businesses tied to her expanding salon franchises.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star will be testifying on behalf of the International Franchise Association Thursday, speaking from firsthand experience as a business owner whose hair salon brand -- Lunatic Fringe -- has now grown to 9 franchise locations nationwide.

We're told Angie plans to advocate strongly for franchisees, whom she views as a living example of the American Dream, especially for women and immigrants ... a message that's deeply personal for her. Angie's parents immigrated from Greece, and our sources say she sees franchising as a pathway to ownership, independence, and generational opportunity.

Angie Katsanevas wasted no time piling on after Ben Affleck admitted he doesn't remember ever meeting Lisa Barlow.

"The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star trolled her co-star in the comments of a Bravo fan post showing Affleck looking clueless about Barlow, writing ... "He didn't know Lisa but he recognized Celia." Celia is Angie's pet poodle.

The dig reignited fallout from a season 6 episode in which Barlow name-dropped Affleck and Blake Lively as the reason she skipped Katsanevas' girls' trip.

Luann de Lesseps turned the shore of Mexico into her own personal gym ... performing acrobatics on the beach with the help of a pal -- and flashing her booty in the process.

Watch the video -- the reality TV star had a flipping fun time out on the sand during her recent vacation in Tulum ... putting her hands down and flicking her body up to playfully stand on her hands.

A man with her holds her legs -- so she's not exactly holding herself up like a circus performer. She did put on quite the show, though ... because when her cover-up fell down her body, it revealed her tiny bikini bottoms that left little to the imagination.

John Mellencamp wants his daughter Teddi to move back to Indiana with him as she continues her cancer treatment ... but she isn't budging.

John said Teddi's been moving between good days and bad days throughout her treatment ... and she apparently has to power through days where she "feels like hell."

Kandi Burruss is getting real about her split from husband Todd Tucker ... saying the two are actually trying to level up their friendship post-breakup, all in the name of co-parenting.

Speaking on "TODAY," Kandi explained that even with divorce proceedings underway, she and Todd still spent the holidays together -- 'cause their top priority is keeping things as smooth as possible for their two kids, a 9-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter.

Kandi says one thing that’s really helped her get through the emotional rollercoaster of divorce is starring in the Broadway musical "& Juliet" -- calling it the best kind of therapy, since it keeps her fully distracted.

Porsha Williams says Donna Kelce is a 'Real Housewives' stan ... telling Andy Cohen that Taylor Swift's future mother-in-law fangirled over her while on "The Traitors."

The reality TV star chatted with Andy on Wednesday's episode of "Watch What Happens Live" ... and, she says she loves the Kelce matriarch -- especially since she's such a big fan of the franchise.

Porsha says she was flattered Donna knew so much about her ... though it ultimately didn't save her in the end.

NeNe Leakes is heading back to Bravo ... years after her exit, TMZ has learned.

Production sources tell TMZ ... "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" alum will appear on Bravo's newly announced working-title series, "The Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip," which Andy Cohen announced during BravoCon. While the series was announced, no cast members were named.

Our sources say NeNe -- who departed "RHOA" after Season 12 in 2020 -- will not be a full-time cast member, but will have a notable presence when the show makes its way to Atlanta. We're told she will appear only during the Atlanta leg of the trip.

Todd Nepola's no longer interested in suing Bravo and NBC for defamation ... dismissing his lawsuit earlier this week.

The "Real Housewives of Miami" star filed a short document with the court voluntarily dismissing his action against the major corporations ... dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice, so he can't bring it again.

The document does not provide a reason for the dismissal.

Jen Shah is returning to social media, making her first appearance back on TikTok since her release from prison on December 10 --  touching on what life was like behind bars.

The former "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star is teaming up with “Shah Squad” member Murilo Bueno to dish out the details of her prison life for the past 33 months while she was incarcerated in Texas.

In the video, Shah and Bueno are using a trendy TikTok audio to describe a "prison bed time story" ... alluding to what Jen's life was like while mimicking a dramatic interaction with a fellow inmate.

So far, Jen hasn’t posted on her own TikTok or Instagram, but her appearance with Murilo seems to signal Jen’s return to the public eye ... and hints that she may be slowly easing back into social media after months away.

"The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Britani Bateman's ex-husband, John Underwood, was arrested last week after authorities say he violated a protective order she has in place against him ... TMZ has learned.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, John had his first felony appearance before the judge in Utah on Wednesday after he allegedly harassed Britani.

Prosecutors say he's been harassing his ex ever since the protective order was put in place in 2023 -- staring at her from the distance allowed under the order, re-routing her mail, and even going as far as tampering with her electrical box at her home to interrupt her power.

Brandi Glanville's shaking it like it's her "Last Christmas" ... dancing to the hit track in just a pair of tiny bikini bottoms with a pal.

The reality television star shared the fun clip to Instagram Saturday ... which begins with her sauntering up in a Santa hat, red sweater and matching thong-style bikini all while Wham!'s hit holiday song plays.

Glanville's friend -- buisnessman James Maas, clad in a red, silk bathrobe -- then pushes her out of the way to grab the spotlight ... sparking a light-hearted tussle between the pair that ends in giggles.

Kyle Richards' friendship with country singer Morgan Wade has inspired years of dating rumors ... and now Kyle is admitting to having a secret relationship following her split from Mauricio Umansky.

Kyle never lists a name -- or even a gender -- for this mysterious former lover, but the clues she gives to Erika Jayne on the latest "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" make it seem obvious.

Kyle says she cared about them "very much" ... check. They avoided public scrutiny ... Morgan opted not to appear on Season 14. And the show's obsession with the relationship is what led to its demise. Basically checks all the boxes.

Erika seemed to put the pieces together, saying, "I think you've been as forthcoming as you can be."

It's over for "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Bronwyn Newport and her husband, Todd Bradley ... TMZ can confirm the couple has split after 9 years of marriage.
