Vanderpump Rules

Brittany Cartwright is facing her fears head-on in "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test" ... but not without a serious struggle when it comes to jumping from a helicopter.

TMZ obtained an exclusive clip from tonight's episode showing "The Valley" star battling major nerves as she prepares to make the leap. With the chopper blades spinning overhead, Cartwright admits just how overwhelming the moment feels, telling the camera how terrified of heights she is.

In the clip, she hesitates, inching toward the door, desperately clinging to the rope as she hangs over the helicopter skids, unable to let herself go, as the guy in charge yells at her to  "Go, go, jump!"

Lisa Vanderpump knows how to throw a birthday bash ... and how to make jaws drop with a perfectly timed naughty joke.

The "Vanderpump Rules" matriarch celebrated her 65th birthday Monday night at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills. Her husband Ken Todd, daughter Pandora, son Max, and close friend Lance Bass joined the celebration. The group wined, dined and laughed their way through the dinner, but it was Lisa's gift reveal that stole the spotlight.

LVP told cameras outside the restaurant that Ken surprised her with a gorgeous, expensive watch, but then smirked as she teased that the "best gift" was still to come later. When pressed, Lisa made it crystal clear she wasn't talking about diamonds or designer handbags -- she meant birthday sex.

Brittany Cartwright isn’t just moving on -- she’s glowing up ... showing off her best self in a fresh IG drop, hot on the heels of dating her new man, Brandon Hanson.

Check out the pics from Thursday ... Brittany went full-on pink fantasy -- rocking a plunging top that flaunted her curves and topping it off with a fuzzy bucket hat that had her making a massive fashion statement.

She finished it off with butterfly clips, a chain belt, and the whole nine -- serving a total cool-girl throwback. Even Brittany stamped it herself with the caption "Y2K 🩷," a nod to the early 2000s.

Brittany Cartwright is glowing with her new man Brandon Hanson, making it crystal clear -- it’s a whole mood compared to her estranged ex, Jax Taylor!

We spotted Brittany outside Casitas in L.A., and she set the record straight ... Brandon ain’t official yet, and she’s not calling herself his GF. Not yet.

Still, Brittany says it’s all about fun for now, Brandon’s making her happy -- and you have to watch the full video, 'cause she also spills on when they might make it official.

Simon Cowell dusted off his "Mr. Nasty" crown, making it clear Tom Sandoval -- AKA "the Most Hated Man in America" -- wasn’t about to charm his way to a win on his watch!

The Brit went full savage on the former "Vanderpump Rules" star and his band The Most Extras -- torching their pitchy jazz-rock take on The Weeknd’s "Blinding Lights" during Tuesday’s "America’s Got Talent."

Simon hated it so much he was the lone judge to slam his X buzzer ... then bluntly told Tom that while he liked him and the band, they just didn’t sound good.

Jax Taylor’s tapping out of fathering any future children -- he wants a vasectomy, and his estranged wife Brittany Cartwright’s all for it ... making it clear the man can’t keep it in his pants anyway.

During "The Valley" reunion Tuesday, the father of one explained he's ready for the snip -- and Brittany didn’t miss a beat, saying he desperately needed one or he'd end up with "20 baby mamas!"

The zingers kept flying in front of their shocked faces with Brittany calling Jax "disgusting" and snapping, "I wouldn’t touch that dirty d*** with a 10-inch pole!"

Jax Taylor is stepping away from his Los Angeles bar Jax's Studio City ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for the "Vanderpump Rules" alum tells us ... he made the decision to terminate his partnership with the establishment, saying it was "a carefully considered and necessary step to prioritize his sobriety and mental health."

The news comes after folks on social media noticed workers removing his name from the Studio City building Saturday, sparking concern.

The Bravolebrity notably announced he would be exiting "The Valley" less than 2 weeks ago ... attributing his need to focus on his mental health and sobriety.

As you know, substance abuse and mental health have been longtime struggles for Jax -- and he sought in-patient treatment to better himself nearly 1 year ago.

He's been on an upward journey since -- even amid his divorce from Brittany Cartwright.

Scheana Shay's been through plenty throughout her reality television career, and we've seen her romance with Brock Davies blossom right in front of our eyes.

However, the Bravo star recently made a bombshell revelation about her relationship and an incident involving her now-husband that could have potentially tanked it before she made her way to the altar.

Here's a look at Davies' background and personal life ... as well as the cheating incident that wasn't revealed for several years.

Davies was born in New Zealand, and he pursued a career as a professional rugby player in his early years.

Shay's husband represented Australia in international rugby competition, and he subsequently played at the professional level in both England and France.

He eventually decided to make the switch to American football, and was a walk-on at Colorado State University-Pueblo, where he ended up as the team captain, according to ESPN.

Davies earned himself a tryout with the NFL's New England Patriots, but his football prospects didn't turn out, and he began to focus on building his profile as a personal trainer.

Davies and Shay met at a music festival in San Diego in September 2019, and a source told People the two were officially dating that November.

Although the pair went Instagram official with their romance in April 2020, the "Vanderpump Rules" star revealed she'd suffered a miscarriage that June.

The couple was still determined to start a family, and Shay gave birth to the pair's daughter, Summer Moon, in April of 2021.

Davies and Shay got engaged that July, and the happy couple tied the knot in Cancun, Mexico, the following August.

But, the pair's marriage hasn't exactly been perfect, and Shay revealed her husband had been unfaithful to her in her book, "My Good Side: A Memoir," which was published in July 2025.

The infidelity took place when she was pregnant, according to Glamour, and although Davies claimed he wanted to be open with his wife about his cheating, she felt "sick to my stomach" and said she was "unable to contain my rage."

Davies spoke further about his infidelity on an episode of his wife's "Scheananigans With Scheana Shay" podcast, and expressed he'd "minimized" the effects that his cheating would have on his family while he carried on his affair.

Scheana Shay’s husband Brock Davies wants to take accountability -- weeks after the former "Vanderpump Rules" star dropped the news he cheated on her while she was pregnant.

In a conversation on her Friday episode of "Scheananigans," Scheana says it would’ve been a disservice if she didn't share this huge detail about her life in her memoir, "My Good Side" ... and after many conversations, Brock says he supported her decision and apologizes for his actions.

When Scheana asked what ended the affair -- which took place while the couple was living in San Diego during the pandemic -- he says he minimized it, adding, "It was a sexual affair ... There was no dating. There was no courting. It was just purely that ... meet up, and then we had sex. And it happened multiple times over a three-week span."

Lisa Vanderpump has no time or interest in Scheana Shay's accusations she built a TV empire on Scheana’s real-life pain … telling us she’s unbothered.

We caught up with LVP in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, where she didn’t hold back when asked about Scheana's recent remarks -- namely that Vanderpump used her affair with Eddie Cibrian to fuel TV drama, referencing the infamous 2013 "RHOBH" episode where LVP introduced Shay to Cibrian's ex, Brandi Glanville.

"I don't care what she says," Vanderpump told us. "I'm more concerned about Ozzy Osbourne dying -- that's the saddest thing. Important things are what matter to me, not her bulls**t."

Scheana Shay just dropped a bomb -- she says hubby Brock Davies cheated while she was pregnant with their baby, Summer Moon.

In her upcoming memoir, "My Good Side," the "Vanderpump Rules" star reveals she was frozen in shock when Brock confessed he cheated with a woman from his gym back in 2021 -- while they were living in San Diego during the pandemic and Scheana was pregnant.

Scheana says she spent months battling anxiety, convincing herself Brock wasn’t like Tom Sandoval -- who'd hit headlines for cheating on Ariana Madix at the time -- but turns out, he was exactly that guy.

Jax Taylor claims the reason his relationship with estranged wife Brittany Cartwright ended is because she slept with his friend ... but now his main focus is to be the person she wants him to be, for the benefit of their young son Cruz.

Jax says in a new podcast interview ... if he could go back and change one thing in his life, it would be the way he handled his reaction -- throwing furniture in a violent fit -- to finding out Brittany had a fling with his friend while they were separated.

Catch these clips ... TMZ obtained an exclusive first look at Jax's appearance on the "We're Out of Time" podcast with addiction and recovery specialist Richard Taite -- and Taite did not hold back on giving "The Valley" star some heavy advice.

Ally Lewber is officially back in the dating game, 'cause she has a new man in her life -- months after her split from James Kennedy ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the former "Vanderpump Rules" star is dating a new guy following her January split from James. Our sources tell us Ally and her new boo have been dating for about four months, and the relationship has recently gotten more serious.

We're told the guy is based in New York, and the two were introduced through mutual friends. While Ally's kept the romance out of the public eye, our sources say the couple has already been traveling together -- and the new mystery man has made multiple trips to Los Angeles to visit her.

Andy dropped the truth bomb on Tuesday’s "Watch What Happens Live," telling Jax that fans were livid about him having a platform on "The Valley" -- prompting Jax to admit watching himself in previous episodes was mortifying.

Jax said no one should ever endure the way he acted, especially not Brittany. He didn't hesitate in apologizing to her ... but not after acknowledging it had been a rough year for both of them.

Ariana Madix is booked and busy and embracing every moment in the spotlight -- the "Vanderpump Rules" star and TV host is gearing up for the premiere of "Love Island" Season 7 by globe-trotting and cozying up to her boo.
