Reality TV Legend Signs Up For ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'
The longtime star of The Rachel Zoe Project is returning to Bravo this year, as the newest addition to the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Zoe, 53, told Us Weekly that she was 'beyond excited to be returning home to Bravo.'
'I've been living my best, new life and it felt like the perfect time to come back to TV and share it all with you,' she said.
Zoe's return to Bravo comes more than a decade after her eponymous reality series ended. The Rachel Zoe Project aired from September 2008 to April 2013, showcasing Zoe's celeb-studded world as she worked as a stylist and fashion designer.
Zoe announced the happy news by posting a picture of herself in a long lace dress with text that said 'The Rumors Are True...'
'It's official, I am coming back to Bravo,' she said in an accompanying video clip. 'It's been awhile, and you've been asking me to come back to television,' she continued. 'And I said when the stars align, or it makes sense, or I have enough to say to share with all of you—and now is the time.'
Zoe will be joining an occasionally chic but always chaotic group of co-stars for the show's fifteenth season—Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke and Bozoma Saint John.
Actress Garcelle Beauvais, who had been a fan favorite Real Housewife over the past five seasons, had a falling out with the cast during their most recent reunion and announced she was leaving the show in March.
'Andy Cohen says I can come back anytime, the door will always be open, so you never know I might pop back in some time,' she said as she departed.
Zoe has also recently experienced some personal drama. In September, she announced her divorce from her husband Rodger Berman, after 26 years of marriage. The pair share two sons: 14-year-old Skyler and 11-year-old Kaius.
'We are incredibly proud of the loving family we have created and our countless memories together,' she wrote about the split on Instagram. 'Our number one priority has been and will always be our children.'

Inside Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato's Relationship Through the Years: From Exes to Friends
Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato learned quickly that they were better off as friends. Jonas and Lovato first connected early in their careers when they starred in the 2008 Disney Channel Original Movie Camp Rock. The pair played love interests onscreen, but their real-life romance didn't start until they filmed the sequel two years later. The real-life relationship didn't last for long, however, and the pair broke up after just a couple of months of dating. 'Demi and I knew going into our romantic relationship that it may not be an easy one,' Jonas said of their split via a statement to Us Weekly in May 2010. 'I realize over the time we have shared together that I feel I care more about our friendship right now. It was my choice to break up, but I love her as a friend. She's been there for me when I needed her. I will continue to be her friend and be there for her.' Since their split, Jonas and Lovato have remained on good terms and have even reunited at various functions over the years. In August 2025, Lovato was a surprise guest at Jonas' JONAS20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour stop at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Lovato shared the stage with Jonas to perform several of their Camp Rock duets. Keep scrolling for a look back on Jonas and Lovato's relationship: 2008 Lovato starred in Camp Rock as Mitchie Torres, while Jonas played her love interest Shane Gray. In the musical movie, the pair performed their iconic duet "This Is Me." 2010 Two years later, Lovato and Jonas reprised their roles for the Camp Rock sequel. That same year, Lovato and Jonas started dating in real life. Their romance did not last for long, though, and the pairbroke up in May 2010. 2011 One year after their split, Jonas and Lovato reunited at the VMAs and posed for a photo together. 2013 After Lovato opened up about her struggles with substance abuse, Jonas shared that he tried to remain by her side as a source of support. 'I really got to know her and got to see the ins and outs of what she was struggling with,' Jonas told Vulture in 2013. 'I felt like I needed to take care of her, but at the same time, I was living a lie because I wasn't happy but felt like I had to stay in it for her because she needed help. I couldn't express any of that, of course, because I had a brand to protect.' 2016 Jonas and Lovato performed a surprise duet at a concert for his band DNCE in Los Angeles. 2017 Lovato and Jonas both attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party. The exes posed for a photo alongside his brother, Nick Jonas. 2025 Lovato joined Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas on stage in New Jersey during their Greetings from Your Hometown Tour. Lovato and Joe performed the songs 'Gotta Find You' and 'This Is Me' from Camp Rock, and 'Wouldn't Change a Thing' from Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. Two days after the concert, Lovato gushed about her guest appearance on the 'Chicks on the Office' podcast. 'Honestly, Joe just asked me last week, [he] was like, 'Hey, what are you doing next weekend? Or on the 10th, we would love to have you come and perform 'This Is Me' and 'Wouldn't Change a Thing.' You've been a huge part of our journey and vice versa,'' she told hosts Maria Ciuffo and Francesca Mariano. Lovato continued, 'So he was like, 'This show is really important to us, and we would love to have you there.' And it was so nice. And like I said, it was so healing for me too. We've been through so much together, all of us, the Jonas Brothers and I. And it was really, really great to like, spend time with them. It was really cool.' Lovato also said it was 'meaningful' that the Jonas Brothers made sure to 'spend time getting to know' her husband, Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes, who attended the concert. 'And they just, you know, thanked me profusely for flying across the country to perform with them. And it was just so thoughtful,' she continued. 'I felt so appreciated, and it was really healing for us. And I loved it, you know, every second of it was so great.' Solve the daily Crossword

Tom Sandoval feared America's Got Talent appearance was ‘setting myself up to get trolled'
Tom Sandoval knew what was coming. After the 43-year-old reality star appeared on America's Got Talent in June, many viewers were vocally critical not just of his performance but of his apparent attempts to 'rehab' his tainted image. In 2024, he had been dubbed the 'most hated man in America' after it emerged during season 10 of Vanderpump Rules that he cheated on longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix with her then-best friend, Rachel Leviss. Both the cast and fans of the hit Bravo show rallied around Madix amid the infidelity scandal, dubbed 'Scandoval,' while Sandoval was pilloried. When he was first approached about auditioning for AGT, Sandoval suspected he'd be in for more of the same. 'It was something that my buddy Jason had brought to my attention,' Sandoval tells The Independent. 'I immediately did not want to do it. I felt like it would create a lot of negative backlash, setting myself up to get trolled.' Speaking while visiting family in St. Louis, Missouri, Sandoval reveals he was also worried about the sheer terror of being on the AGT stage in front of judges like Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel. Ultimately, though, he says he decided to do it for the sake of his band. 'They were with me through one of the hardest times in my life,' he says. 'And to go to them and say, 'Hey, I don't want to do it 'cause I'm worried about backlash' — It would have broken my heart to do that. So I was like, you know what? These guys have been there for me, and I want to do this for them and for us.' Sandoval and his band, The Most Extras, performed A-ha's 'Take on Me' during the first round of auditions and ended up receiving four 'yes' votes from the judges. The audience danced along, many with mouths agape, trying to reconcile that in front of them was the same man they watched for over a decade on Vanderpump Rules. While Bravo is an undeniable part of his history, Sandoval says he's keen to move on from it. On August 19, the second round of AGT auditions begins on NBC, and he's brimming with excitement about taking the stage once more. The Traitors star traces his musical journey back to his childhood, when he began playing trumpet in the fourth grade. He joined a marching band before quitting sports to appear in a production of the cult favorite musical Little Shop of Horrors. More recently, he taught himself to play guitar and is now taking voice lessons as he fronts a band for the first time. He's been in bands before, but they never worked out. 'It was always original music,' he says. 'I would put so much time, so much passion and money and effort into getting this band to the next level, and then it would fall apart. It was just so heartbreaking that I didn't play music for quite a while.' Eventually, he found his way to The Most Extras, a nine-person covers band, but he isn't ruling out a return to creating original music again. Vanderpump Rules fans might remember 'Touch in Public', the 2015 single from Charles McMansion, a duo Sandoval formed with the late actor Isaac Kappy. For now, though, he is leaning into the joys of appealing to a broad audience with songs everyone can sing along to. He says he has 'learned some hard lessons' during his time touring with his new bandmates, recalling their van getting stuck in the mud during their first tour and needing to be hauled out by a stranger, lugging equipment up multiple flights of stairs to get to a rehearsal room in New York, and the ceiling falling during another small gig. After their AGT debut, Simon Cowell told them, 'Not everyone comes on this show to get a record deal. Sometimes it's about being true to who you are.' Sandoval echoes that sentiment during our conversation. 'I feel like this is something that really is true to me,' he explains. 'It's something I love. Music has always been in my life. My dad was a DJ, and I grew up listening to great music. It just really inspired me.' When we spoke, Sandoval had not yet decided which song his band would perform during the second round of auditions. He did say that he'd been attending vocal lessons and was eager to come 'full circle in another talent show; a much, much bigger one in fact, the biggest stage we've ever been on.' Regardless of the outcome on AGT, Sandoval is looking ahead to the band's fall tour. 'I'm so grateful to be able to do something like this, to be out there, to have my band be able to be on a big stage like that,' he says. 'I'm just excited for what's to come.'

The first ever Real Housewives of London cast, ranked: Verdict on the wives who will cause the most drama
Real Housewives fans, it's time to rejoice: the hit series is making its way to London for the first time ever! Yep, the Real Housewives of London will make its debut on Monday 18 August and we couldn't be more excited, after years of following the drama on the US versions including the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the Real Housewives of Atlanta, and the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, to name a few. "The Real Housewives of London introduces six glamorous, stylish, and bold women who are making their mark across the capital's most prestigious postcodes," a synopsis of the series reads. "From Belgravia to Chelsea, these women balance ambition, family, and fierce friendships – all while living life at full volume." "With big personalities, deep histories, and no shortage of designer drama, the path to connection is never simple – but it's always captivating," the synopsis continues. "London's calling... and this group always answers." The series, which will be available to watch on Hayu, will run for 10 episodes with a reunion special hosted by Katherine Ryan, rather than the usual reunion host, Bravo's Andy Cohen. Ahead of its highly-anticipated release, we've taken a deep dive into the housewives that will appear on the very first London edition, giving our verdict on who is most likely to bring the tea. Piping hot, with two sugars, no less. Here's everything you need to know about the cast of the Real Housewives of London season one, and our ranking on which wives will cause the most drama... Age: 49 Profession: Actress turned creative producer Marital status: Married, with two children Instagram: @julietmayhew Who is Juliet Mayhew? Australian native Julia is a former Miss Galaxy Universe who now lives in one of Chelsea's most desirable neighbourhoods with partner, 'Tiggy', and their two teenage kids. A former actress, she now hosts immersive events and is a "committed philanthropist" – that, combined with her past as a Miss Galaxy Universe contestant makes us think she could be the peacekeeper of the group. That being said, she has a close friendship with Ladies of London and Real Housewives of Dubai star, Caroline Stanbury... so maybe a taste for drama isn't totally out of scope when it comes to Juliet. Age: 42 Profession: Former Head of Global & International Equity FMAs turned literal cake boss Marital status: Married, with three children Instagram: @nessiewelschinger Who is Nessie Welschinger? Born and raised in London, Nessie lives in Chelsea – and also owns a 500-year-old Cotswolds estate – with her husband, Remy, and their three kids. She swapped business for baking, and currently runs the renowned Chelsea Cake Company, which infamously made one of Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday cakes. Unlike some of the other Real Housewives of London, Nessie hasn't got many ties to the world of reality TV but previously appeared on Bake Off: The Professionals, so we reckon the only pots she stirs are filled with cake batter! Age: 48 Profession: Social media influencer, global brand partner, stylist, and former fashion publicist Marital status: Married, with two kids Instagram: @juliet Who is Juliet Angus? Born in Chicago but now a resident of glamorous West London, you'll recognise Juliet from Bravo's Ladies of London. A former fashion publicist – yep, she's giving major Samantha Jones energy – Juliet now works as a social media influencer, global brand partner, and stylist. Having already spent three years on Ladies of London, we're pretty confident that Juliet knows how to stir up a great storyline. Drama, incoming... Age: 50 Profession: Fashion label owner Marital status: Married, with three children Instagram: @karenloderickpeace Who is Karen Loderick-Peace? Born in Jamaica, Karen moved to the UK in her twenties and now shares five (yes, five!) luxurious London homes with her husband Jeremy, former chairman and owner of West Bromwich Albion F.C. Peace by name, but not necessarily by nature, we reckon Karen's experience on Real Housewives of Jersey and Real Housewives of Cheshire will cement her as a leading lady on the London edition of the franchise. Age: 51 Profession: Socialite Marital status: Married, with three kids Instagram: @thepantheaparker Who is Panthea Parker? Born in Iran, Panthea moved to the UK at the age of four and now lives in North London with her lawyer husband, Ed, and their three children. She also has an adult son from her first marriage. A well-known figure on the London social scene, Panthea made a name for herself in Mayfair, rubbing shoulders with A-listers at Annabel's as a glamorous party girl in the nineties. Considering she once got revenge on her cheating ex by maxxing out his credit card on a £140,000 shopping spree, we have no doubt she will bring the heat on Real Housewives of London. Age: 56 Profession: Former model turned entrepreneur Marital status: Divorced and single, with one daughter Instagram: @amandacarolinecronin Who is Amanda Cronin? Former model Amanda now runs a successful skincare brand plus an aesthetics and wellness clinic in Belgravia. She has one daughter, a 27-year-old artist, and is a fixture on London's elite social scene (peep her Instagram for a look at her jet-set lifestyle). With close ties to US housewives, including Meredith Marks and Dorinda Medley, Amanda is no stranger when it comes to the recipe to reality TV success. And, as far as drama goes, she's sure to bring plenty, having already revealed (to the BBC) that producers told her she was causing "too much" on day one! The Real Housewives of London debuts exclusively on Hayu on 18 August.
