RHOP's Karen Huger Faces Prison Setback After Work Release Request
According to new court records, Karen recently applied for a work-release program. If approved, she would have been removed from the Montgomery County Jail and transferred to a much nicer rehabilitation center. Unfortunately for Karen, a judge just denied her request.
The Washington Post reported on all of the details regarding Karen's failed attempt at a work release. Their legal experts explained that inmates become eligible for work release within 12 months of their release. Since Karen's sentence is relatively short, she basically filed for a work release as soon as she got into her orange jumpsuit.
Of course, the idea of a 'work release' for Karen makes it sound like she's trying to get back in front of the Bravo cameras. However, that's not the case. She wasn't trying to make a bid for RHOP Season 10.
This work release program requires inmates to kick off each day by applying for jobs. Those roles have to meet specific criteria. The jobs have to be within walking distance or accessible via public transportation. Plus, they have to be in an alcohol-free environment and not involve being filmed. Obviously, that would completely rule out working on Housewives.
Per the court documents, Karen was hoping to spend the time in the work-release center focusing on her treatment and engaging in an outpatient rehabilitation program. Upon reviewing the request, Judge Terrence McGann denied the request, which means Karen will stay behind bars in a traditional jail environment.
Although this wasn't the news Karen and her lawyer hoped for, it's not all bad news for Karen. She has supposedly been on her best behavior since her sentence, they predict she'll be released in November 2025, just a few months earlier than anticipated.
The Real Housewives of Potomac is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

New ‘Project Runway' judge Law Roach shares his thoughts on criticism, plus what to stream this weekend
Welcome to Screen Gab, the newsletter for everyone who likes a dramatic comeback. Remember when Heidi Klum drilled into our reality TV heads that, in fashion, one day you're in, and the next day you're out? Well, even she knows the past can come back in style. After a 16-season run on 'Project Runway' as host and judge, Klum departed the fashion competition series in 2018 and, along with the show's original mentor Tim Gunn, went on to create 'Making the Cut,' their version of a fashion tournament for Prime Video that ran for three seasons. (Model Karlie Kloss assumed Klum's 'Project Runway' duties in subsequent seasons.) Now, as 'Project Runway' launches its 21st season, moving homes yet again (to Freeform from Bravo), Klum brings the nostalgia factor to the show's revamping, which includes the addition of super stylist Law Roach to the judges panel. Roach stopped by Guest Spot to discuss joining the ranks of the long-running reality competition. Also in this week's Screen Gab, our streaming recommendations include an illuminating documentary that explains how 'The Ed Sullivan Show' amplified Black music and culture, and a collection of '90s films that defined an era through their soundtracks. Must-read stories you might have missed For Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán, 'Wednesday' proves 'weird is beautiful': The actors return for Season 2 of Netflix's hit YA series, which brings Gomez and Morticia Addams into focus. 'Chief of War' centers Hawaiian history and a warrior's story: Co-creator Jason Momoa stars as the late 18th century warrior Ka'iana in a story set at the intersection of the Hawaiian island kingdoms and the arrival of European colonists. Go behind the scenes with the 'Alien: Earth' cast at Comic-Con 2025: Watch our exclusive follow-along with the cast of FX's 'Alien: Earth' cast at San Diego Comic-Con as they sign autographs, visit the show's immersive activation and more. As AI changes how movies are made, Hollywood crews ask: What's left for us?: AI is supplying powerful new tools at a fraction of the cost, forcing below-the-line artists to wonder if the future of filmmaking has a place for them. Recommendations from the film and TV experts at The Times 'Sunday Best: The Untold Story of Ed Sullivan' (Netflix) Ed Sullivan was so famous, such an institution in his time, that his name became the text of a number in the musical 'Bye Bye, Birdie.' It's been half a century since 'The Ed Sullivan Show' ended its 24-season run, but Sullivan, who gave Elvis Presley a platform and introduced the Beatles to America, will be seen as long as they continue to matter, which is to say, forever. The 'Untold' in Sacha Jenkins' affecting documentary is the show's history with the many Black artists it presented to an audience of many millions, through years in which television networks bowed to the bigotry of what it called the Southern audience. Yet even had you taken Black acts on 'Sullivan' for granted, the extent of the host's progressivism might come as surprise. Those sharing memories include the late Harry Belafonte, Smokey Robinson and the Temptations' Otis Williams; seen in performance are Stevie Wonder, Jackie Wilson, Bo Diddley, James Brown, Nina Simone, Mahalia Jackson and the Jackson 5, in all their youthful glory. — Robert Lloyd '90s Soundtrack Movies (Criterion Channel) Now they exist as relics: banged-up soundtrack cassettes that slid around in the passenger side of everyone's cars. But we all listened to them and in many cases, they ended up being more memorable than the films themselves. A lot of good was done when acts like U2, Talking Heads, Depeche Mode and Nick Cave lent their drawing power to director Wim Wenders' mystifying 1991 sci-fi art thinker 'Until the End of the World.' The songs were an adventure (though I couldn't quote you a single line from the script). More substantially, Jim Jarmusch introduced his fan base to Wu-Tang Clan's RZA, who contributed a superb head-bobbing soundtrack to 1999's 'Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai,' proving there was plenty of crossover between Soho and Shaolin. David Lynch, always plugged in musically, drew from David Bowie's underrated 'Outside' album for the white-line opening credits of 1997's 'Lost Highway.' And even when Bowie wasn't game — as with the bio-in-all-but-name 'Velvet Goldmine' — an inventive glam-saturated soundtrack could carry the day. Criterion's new series is programming you can play in the background and still enjoy. — Joshua Rothkopf A weekly chat with actors, writers, directors and more about what they're working on — and what they're watching As one of Hollywood's biggest stylists and image architects, Law Roach has bolstered the fashion profile of stars like Zendaya, Hunter Schafer and Anya Taylor-Joy and set the tone for every red carpet he's touched with his viral styling choices. Now, he's bringing his unparalleled fashion sense to the judge's panel of 'Project Runway.' The new season premiered Thursday on Freeform with two episodes; it will air weekly and also stream on Hulu and Disney+. Roach stopped by Screen Gab to discuss his feelings on constructive criticism, the fictional character he'd like to style and what he's watching. — Yvonne Villarreal As a creative in the fashion world, is 'Project Runway' a show you watched at any point over its run? What value did you see in it and how do you hope your involvement elevates the show? Yes, I watched it religiously, of course. The season that Christian won is hands down still my favorite. I think it gave me an inside look at an industry that I was craving to be a part of. I think my real-world experience and passion will come through not only to the viewers but also to the contestants. You bring a bold and direct feedback style to the judges panel from the start. How do you prefer to receive feedback on your work and when do you trust it? Criticism is a part of every job. I think it is important to hear it and if it fits you or can help you grow, take it in, and learn from it, but if it doesn't, ignore it. As a stylist and image architect, which fictional character of TV or film — past or present — would you most like to create a fashion profile for? Jessica Rabbit because we only got to see her in one look! What's your go-to 'comfort watch,' the film or TV show you return to again and again? 'Top Chef' [Peacock] or any cooking competition show. I love food and witnessing the thought that goes into making the food.

Matt Rogers talks bringing zeitgeisty Las Culturistas Awards to TV for the 1st time
The last Teen Choice Awards aired in 2019. MTV canceled its MTV Movie & TV Awards show after 2023. It's been a rough period for those deserving of recognition as choice hottie or best villain. Enter the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, now in its fifth year — and coming to television for the first time Tuesday. Conceived by comedians and longtime friends Bowen Yang ('Saturday Night Live') and Matt Rogers ('I Love That For You') and an outgrowth of their 'Las Culturistas' podcast, this year's edition was taped in July and will air on Bravo. 'The thing that's cohesive about Bravo and our brand is the fact that we center fun and that kind of made it a really natural home for us,' Rogers said recently over Zoom. These awards give flowers to a variety of genres. Categories this year include most iconic building or structure (Lumon headquarters from 'Severance' is nominated), best title for the next 'Bridget Jones' ('Bridget Jones to Terabithia' is a contender) and the Lindsay Lohan in 'Parent Trap' award for twins excellence (Michael B. Jordan gets a nod for 'Sinners'). Rogers' favorite? 'They're all my babies,' he said, but is most proud of best 'Batman' woman. One of the nominees: Robyn — yes, not Robin. 'It's the Riddler's assistant,' joked Rogers. 'Robyn scenes were cut from the movie.' The awards aren't even limited to work from the past year — the nonexistent Robyn's competitors include both Michelle Pfeiffer and Anne Hathaway's portrayal of Catwoman. The awards are 'one of the most fun things we do every year,' Rogers said. The whole point is to remind people that Hollywood — and especially awards shows — are not that serious. Rogers spoke with The Associated Press about the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, the podcast and keeping up with pop culture. This interview has been edited for clarity and brevity. AP: Why did you and Bowen start the Las Culturistas Culture Awards? ROGERS: I don't think there's anything funnier than people who take themselves too seriously. And being hosts of a pop culture podcast in which we talk about the entertainment industry quite frequently, we see it as an opportunity to empower everyone to drop their shoulders a little bit. Bowen was just nominated for his fifth (chance at an) Emmy. It still means something, even though we're in the process of satirizing it, which says everything you need to know about the place that this holds in our culture. AP: Do you ever find it hard to keep up with everything that's popping in the zeitgeist? ROGERS: Absolutely. We talk about this a lot on the show. The death of monoculture is a very real thing, so we are not all watching the same stuff. It would be impossible to cover everything that everyone wants us to cover. For example, I can't really do 'Love Island.' The episodes are just a little too long and, also, it's not my flavor of reality show. That doesn't mean that l don't think it's incredible for people that want to watch it. I am an Ariana Madix superfan and supporter. Having said that, if we're talking about something on 'Las Culturistas,' it is honest. I would never want to just cram for the podcast. If you hear us talking about it, it's something we're actually encountering. AP: As you and Bowen each become busier with your individual careers, is there a scenario where you would end the podcast? (Yang did take a break in 2023 to focus on his mental health.) ROGERS: The podcast is not hard to do. Maybe if it were, or if we felt like at a certain point it was too exposing, we would maybe take a break. But the fact is, we don't feel that way. If it was ever a thing of like, 'Hey, we need to wind it back,' that probably means we would book less guests and just talk to each other. The energy expense is when we're getting ready to host someone that we love or that we wanna make sure has a good time. It's an hour or whatever of me talking to my friend. AP: Why do you think there are so many podcasts out there? ROGERS: It's a celebration of someone's interests. I always say if you have an interest, you can find 15 podcasts about that thing no matter what it is. I think what makes people excited about this world is it's a place to talk and deep dive or be too granular and too niche about what you love. AP: What was the original goal for 'Las Culturistas' when you started back in 2016? You've gone on to have Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga, Sarah Jessica Parker and Chappell Roan as guests. ROGERS: The podcast started with me and Bowen sitting behind mics, very lo-fi at our friend's apartment. A mattress was in the window to keep the sound out. It was just a playdate for me and Bowen. It wasn't even weekly in the very beginning. It was very haphazard. The sentence, 'Oh, we owe them an episode,' was uttered a lot. Then suddenly it became this thing. And we realized it was really not only helping us, but it was something we enjoyed.
