Luann de Lesseps is renting her Hamptons home for $150K
After performing in Canada, England and Scotland — her last 'Countess Cabaret' show is at the Visalia Fox Theatre in California on June 27 — de Lesseps will head to the Hamptons, where she has a home in Sag Harbor, 'just minutes' from the village. But only for a bit.
In August, de Lesseps will be renting out her stylish Sag Harbor dwelling — $150,000 for the month — while she spends time in Europe visiting Tilda Swinton in Scotland, and other friends in Monaco, France and Ibiza. Then she'll be in Brooklyn on Aug. 21 to host Countess Luann's Block Party at the Yard at 3 Dollar Bill in East Williamsburg.
13 For the month of August, a fan can live the fabulous at-home life of de Lesseps.

Who says August is for relaxing? This summer, de Lesseps told Gimme Shelter, she's also working on a new book 'about dating and finding love again.'
'You have to know what you want,' she told Vogue earlier this year. 'We write our own story, nobody writes it for us. You have to make it happen and use the moment. Don't be afraid. Take a chance; if you're not scared, you're not living.'
Her charming, renovated house — a 19th-century Greek Revival — is at 30 John St. in Upper Sag Harbor Cove.
The property features a recently renovated four-bedroom, four-bath main house with modern interiors, water views and its own private dock that can accommodate a 30-foot boat. It sits on 3 acres surrounded by a white picket fence.
Inside, there's a chef's kitchen, three fireplaces, an open living and dining room, and French doors that lead to a large outdoor deck with a motorized awning.
There is also a saltwater pool and a one-bedroom, one-bath studio/cottage.

De Lesseps told Gimme she has been having a blast touring her latest Live Nation cabaret tour, under the direction of Richard Jay-Alexander, who has directed the likes of Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler and Kristin Chenoweth. She has also enjoyed starring in Bravo's 'Love Hotel,' now streaming on Peacock.
'I'm having so much fun touring the world for my show, showing clips and singing songs. I love it,' de Lesseps told Gimme.
De Lesseps may also be finding love again — with James Quine, who was also on 'Love Hotel' with her. They're enjoying each other's company, she said, albeit with challenging logistics.
'He lives in Hawaii,' she said.
The listing broker is Michael Riemerschmid, of William Raveis.

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.

Drake Gives Fiery Speech To Concert Crowd: 'I Didn't Get Here By Being A Piece Of Sh-t'
Source: Simone Joyner / Getty Ever since the Drake beef with Kendrick Lamar boiled over, other artists have jumped in. From Rick Ross and A$AP Rocky to The Weeknd, they steadily piled on, leading many to question how Drake wronged them as rumors of shady business dealings and stealing girlfriends ran amok. And if you ask Drake? Nothing. That's what he told the crowd last night at Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome for his co-headlining $ome $pecial $hows 4 U Tour with PARTYNEXTDOOR . 'I hope you get everything you want. Never give up. Keep going, not even on some preachy sh-t. This might be the moment that you need to hear it,' Drake told the crowd. 'And the biggest thing I would say to you is I didn't get here by being a piece of sh-t. I didn't get here by being a snake. I didn't get here by being a d-ckhead. I got here by being good to people, being nice to people, and my karma is straight.' He goes on to say that the way he's treated people is why he's been able to rise again after the beef. 'That's why I'm still on stage in 2025,' he added. In what's been the most challenging year of his career, he shouts out his fans for always holding him down and promises to deliver on his next album, Iceman . 'And I appreciate you always supporting me, always being there for me. I love y'all. I don't have no jokes tonight. I usually tell a joke or some sh-t, but tonight it's no jokes. It's just love. I appreciate you so much. I'm working on this album for y'all, Iceman . We got a lot to talk about.' While jokes were off limits for the night, he did have a lighthearted moment with the crowd when he admitted Amsterdam will always be special to him because that's where his son Adonis was conceived. 'I was saying backstage, like, 'This is the place. A very special place in my heart, because this is where my son was conceived,'' Drake said. 'It's a big show for me, you know. I hold Amsterdam very dear to my heart. There would be no Adonis if there wasn't an Amsterdam, so shout out to y'all.' Drake's 7-year-old with French artist Sophie Brussaux was of course the bombshell that Pusha T revealed to the world in their 2018 beef that ended with 'The Story Of Adidon.' See social media's reaction to Drake standing 10 toes down on being respected in the industry below.
