7 reality shows to binge if you can't wait for The Real Housewives of London
The Real Housewives of London has confirmed its line-up, but the series won't be hitting screens until later this year The Real Housewives of London is set to take the city by storm with its newly unveiled cast, promising a dose of high drama and opulent lifestyles. Following the phenomenal success of the original Real Housewives series that began in Orange County back in 2006, the franchise has finally made its way to London after captivating audiences worldwide with various local versions. Expect a whirlwind of fierce showdowns, enviable fashion statements, and a glimpse into the extravagant homes of six affluent figures as they navigate their high-society circles and the tumultuous events that unfold. Confirmed to grace our screens are Juliet Angus of Ladies of London fame, model Amanda Cronin, Karen Loderick-Peace from Real Housewives of Jersey, ex-beauty queen Juliet Mayhew, socialite Pantha Parker, and entrepreneur Nessie Welschinger. Although filming kicked off in March, fans will have to wait until later in the year to get their fix of the London elite's antics. Meanwhile, for those who've devoured every episode of the Real Housewives from Beverly Hills to Cheshire, here's a list of seven other reality shows to quench your thirst for more glitz and glamour. Bling Empire: New York The Netflix hit Bling Empire: New York offered viewers a peek into the lives of wealthy Asian-American New Yorkers showcasing their wealth and style. The show brought together a cast of fashion icons, heirs and heiresses, business moguls, designers, and magazine editors, earning the tag of "crazy rich Asians" in real life by Netflix. This spin-off from the LA-based series was a hit, but in 2023 it was confirmed that neither version would be returning for more seasons. Crafted by the creators of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Bling Empire: New York showcased the stars splashing their cash on designer shopping sprees, attending glitzy parties and events, globetrotting, and managing their multi-billion pound businesses, all while uncovering the drama and secrets amongst them. Selling Sunset For some of the most eye-popping outfits ever seen on Netflix, Selling Sunset is your go-to. The series, which has aired eight seasons to date, trails the estate agents of the Oppenheimer Group and the scandals they find themselves embroiled in. Between drooling over jaw-dropping LA mansions, anticipate dramatic face-offs and endless tittle-tattle. Dubai Bling Dubai Bling delves into the lives of some of the city's wealthiest, revealing a group of millionaires flaunting their businesses, cars, designer labels and opulent homes. It wouldn't be a Netflix reality series without a dash of drama, as friendships crumble and alliances are forged amidst lies, envy and shocking disclosures. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives The second series of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives landed on Disney+ just last month, charting the volatile relationships of several Mormon content creators from Utah, known as Mom Tok. After allegations of swinging and affairs were made public in 2022 by Taylor Frankie Paul, a spotlight was cast on her friendship circle, who now air their dirty linen in a reality series. Featuring fiery rows and marital meltdowns, confessions and accusations of infidelity, the forthcoming third series promises to be as explosive as ever. Below Deck The Bravo series Below Deck, which has since spawned numerous spin-offs, first hit our screens in 2013, documenting the lives of crew members working on a luxury yacht. From guests moaning and criticising, to staff showdowns and heated arguments, there's never a dull moment on board. The Below Deck franchise has since won over audiences globally and received several Primetime Emmy Award nominations. Vanderpump Villa Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump launched a series of her own spin-off shows following her dramatic exit from the Housewives. Vanderpump Villa, the fifth show after Vanderpump Rules, unveils the lives of her staff working in her posh French villa, Chateau Rosabelle, with drama stemming from the tensions of the crew living and working together. Ladies of London Over a decade before she started filming for The Real Housewives of London, Juliet Angus first appeared in Ladies of London. The reality series followed the lives of six British socialites and American expats juggling their families, businesses and social lives. Bravo declared in 2017 that there wouldn't be a fourth season of the show, only to surprise fans last month by announcing its return with "a new wave of British blue bloods, ambitious American expats and glamorous international socialites". The press release sparked interest with: "As tradition clashes with the fast-paced globalised world, these power players redefine what it means to be a woman of status in one of the most iconic cities in the world. Here connections are currency and the crown isn't the only thing up for grabs."

Skier's death after crash at Keystone Resort investigated
DENVER (KDVR) — A man died after a crash while skiing at the Keystone Resort on Tuesday, authorities reported. The skier has not been identified. The death was reported by the Summit County Sheriff's Office on Monday evening, which said special operations technicians, who also serve as deputy coroners, responded to the resort at about 4 p.m. Tuesday. Father shares impact of Thornton traveling nurse's death in Montana river Preliminary information gathered shows the skier, who is from the Front Range, was speeding down the Haywood trail, which leads to the area near the base of the Peru Express ski lift. The sheriff's office said the male skier lost control, left the trail and collided with a padded light pole. The Keystone Ski Patrol responded to the crash and provided life-saving measures before he was transported to Keystone Medical Center. At the center, he was pronounced dead. 'Our hearts go out to the family and friends affected by this tragic loss,' said Summit County Sheriff Jaime FitzSimons in a release. The agency said that the skier was wearing a helmet and was the only person involved in the crash. There is no evidence of foul play or intoxication, the sheriff's office reported. It's far from the first snow-sports death during the 2024-25 winter season. Earlier this month, a snowboarder was found dead after he was missing for weeks at Vail Mountain. In January, a 22-year-old woman was killed after skiing into a tree on the Exhibition ski run at Aspen Highlands. Additionally, Lynn Ban, the star of Netflix's reality show 'Bling Empire: New York' died weeks after a skiing accident in Aspen, which prompted emergency brain surgery.

Man killed in Aspen ski crash remembered for quiet demeanor, adventurous spirit
DENVER (KDVR) — A 76-year-old man of both Houston and Aspen died in a skiing accident on Feb. 26 in Aspen and is being remembered for his quiet demeanor and adventurous spirit. According to an obituary marking his life, Clifford Hastings 'Hasty' Johnson 'died doing something he loved in a place he loved.'

Hasty had a long history here in Aspen and will be remembered fondly. Our hearts go out to his family and friends at this difficult time.' Johnson retired from Hines, a global real estate investment management firm, as Vice Chairman in 2023, boasting a 45-year career wherein he initiated the firm's acquisition program and investment management business, according to his obituary, which was originally published in the Houston Chronicle. Johnson was remembered for his humor in the face of inclement circumstances, and for his adventures while hiking, skiing, rock climbing, windsurfing, kiteboarding, biking, fishing and bird hunting, as well as diving into the coral reefs of the South Pacific and fishing in Matagorda Bay. 'This quiet man will speak volumes to all who knew and loved him for the rest of our lives, as we attempt to model his competence, humility and adventurous spirit,' the family wrote in Johnson's obituary. Family of man killed in Berthoud Pass avalanche say his legacy of kindness will live on The obituary noted that Johnson is survived by his wife of 46 years, Edith 'Sis' Johnson; two daughters; and three siblings. A memorial service is planned to be held in Houston. This is not Aspen's first ski death of the season.

Teddi Mellencamp, 'RHOBH' alum, has urgent brain surgery after multiple-tumor diagnosis
Teddi Mellencamp was scheduled for brain surgery Wednesday only a day after learning that recent headaches were the result of multiple brain tumors. "For the last several weeks I've been dealing with severe and debilitating headaches. Yesterday the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization," the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" veteran, who is also rocker John Mellencamp's daughter, wrote Wednesday on Instagram. "After a CT scan and MRI, doctors found multiple tumors on my brain, which they believe have been growing for at least 6 months." Teddi, who filed for divorce from second husband Edwin Arroyave in November, posted videos in her Instagram stories showing her having her blond hair shaved off in the hospital and later telling brother Hud Mellencamp that her new "lewk" was giving his close-shorn 'do a "run for [his] money." Read more: Lynn Ban, 'Bling Empire: New York' star and jewelry designer, dies after brain surgery Hud reposted the video with a note indicating he would "get her faded up" when she was ready. Teddi Mellencamp's final video, taken minutes before she was scheduled to head toward the OR, showed a handful of family and friends hanging out with her in her hospital room. In her statement, she thanked them and her healthcare pros — the doctors, nurses and surgeons — for doing "everything possible" to help her get better. "Two of the tumors will be surgically removed today," she explained in her statement. "The remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date." She checked in last summer with a report about the excision of a couple of new melanoma spots, writing on social media at the time, 'I have felt a little something in my neck and in my back, so anxiety is pretty high, because I didn't feel these things before.' Mellencamp was first diagnosed with skin cancer in 2022. She was a main cast member on "RHOBH" from 2017 to 2020 and appeared as a guest star for a few seasons after that. "The Real Housewives of Orange County" featured her as a guest on a couple of episodes as well.

Lynn Ban, jewelry designer and ‘Bling Empire' star, dies at 52
She said that after the accident, she skied to the bottom of the mountain, where a ski patrol checked her for a concussion and cleared her. Her fall 'didn't seem that bad at the time,' she wrote. But at the suggestion of a paramedic, she went to a hospital for a CT scan, which detected the brain bleed. She was then airlifted to a trauma hospital. 'Last thing I remember was being intubated and waking up after an emergency craniotomy,' she wrote. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Lynn Ban was born May 27, 1972, in Singapore to David Ban, a developer, and Patricia Ban, a certified gemologist who nurtured her daughter's love of fashion. Advertisement Ms. Ban designed fine jewelry worn by some of the world's most recognizable artists and celebrities, including Rihanna, Beyoncé, Cardi B, Billie Eilish, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, and Post Malone. Ms. Ban often set precious stones in oxidized metals to create visual contrast. In a 2017 article in The New York Times, she talked about her signature armor rings, including a piece she created for Rihanna to wear in photographs for W Magazine. Told to imagine Rihanna as the last woman in a postapocalyptic world, Ms. Ban created a claw armor ring, an articulated design that stretches up the finger and ends in a clawlike pointed tip. 'It continues the theme of my signature armor ring but is even more protective,' she said. 'It's like a weapon.' She added that it was no coincidence that the piece was created during a time of political flux, in the wake of President Trump's election to his first term. 'Revolution and social protest have always sparked intense periods of creativity,' she said. 'Just look at the 1960s.'
