Kyle Richards calls ex Mauricio Umansky for help with snake despite moving on with lesbian gal pal
Kyle Richards did not exactly play it cool when she discovered a snake had slithered into her $2.35M six-bedroom mansion in La Quinta, CA last weekend. 'Is it black?! What is it?! Is it a rattler?!' the 56-year-old reality star shrieked. 'Look, that's the bad kind! Motherf***er. It's like a rattlesnake, I think. Oh my god! What if there's more? What if there's more?! Oh my god! Where'd it come from?! Where did it come from?!' Kyle's 25-year-old daughter Sophia Umansky captured all of the chaotic action for TikTok as her 36-year-old daughter Farrah Aldjufrie fetched a pool stick and friend Jennifer Turner Leipart stood on a bed. 'You guys, I can't! What if there's more? What are you doing in there?!' Richards screamed on the steps. 'What if it laid eggs in here?!' one voice wondered as everyone exclaimed: 'Laid eggs?!' At that, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star called her estranged husband Mauricio Umansky in a panic pleading for help. 'I am not killing a f***ing snake!' Kyle yelled. 'You're the only one with a penis around here! Can't you make yourself useful?' With no assistance from the 54-year-old real estate mogul, Richards called Riverside County Animal Services where an animal control officer calmly explained the intruder was a non-venomous gopher snake. 'Not dangerous,' he stressed. 'They mimic rattlesnakes to keep predators away.' As soon as he picked up the limp reptile and placed it inside a bucket with his bare hands, all four women dramatically screamed in unison again. In the comments section, many users questioned why the Hollywood-born socialite didn't call her rumored girlfriend Morgan Wade, with whom she share matching rings and heart tattoos. 'Morgan wasn't available?' TikTok user @vodka_talking asked. TikTok user @disney1942 commented: 'You know Morgan's over there in the bathroom waiting to go kill it for her.' 'Where's Morgan?' TikTok user @helenefranklin0 asked. 'Leave Mauricio alone!' 'You guys, I can't! What if there's more? What are you doing in there?!'

'Leave Mauricio alone!' Kyle famously starred in Morgan's fantastical music video for Fall in Love with Me where they kissed, fed each other, and took a bubble bath in August 2023 - one month after she separated from Mauricio after 27 years of marriage The 30-year-old country crooner was busy in Iowa and Nebraska last weekend opening for Shinedown's Dance, Kid, Dance Arena Tour - which next hits up the Huntington Center in Toledo, OH on Thursday night. Kyle famously starred in Morgan's fantastical music video for Fall in Love with Me where they kissed, fed each other, and took a bubble bath in August 2023 - one month after she separated from Mauricio after 27 years of marriage. In the third and final part of TRHOBH 14th season reunion - which aired April 15 - Richards confessed that she had a 'very uncomfortable, hard conversation' with her four daughters about questioning her sexuality. The Bravo-lebrity and Umansky are also proud parents of 28-year-old daughter Alexia and 16-year-old daughter Portia, and she previously welcomed daughter Farrah with ex-husband Guraish Aldjufrie. Meanwhile, the Buying Beverly Hills alum has canoodled with at least three women since the separation including Russian actress Nikita Khan and Instagram model Klaudia K. Career-wise, Kyle gushed on April 12 that she was 'so excited' to join the season four cast of Netflix's legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer created by David E. Kelley.

Hammer Museum reveals the 27 artists in the Made in L.A. 2025 biennial
The highly anticipated Made in L.A. biennial is approaching, and the Hammer Museum has announced the 27 artists participating in the regional survey, including Hollywood-born conceptual artist John Knight, Hood Century Modern founder Jerald 'Coop' Cooper and the avant-garde New Theater Hollywood, which is run by artists Calla Henkel and Max Pitegoff. The seventh edition of the biennial, which spotlights the work of regional artists, is curated by Essence Harden and Paulina Pobocha. The 2023 biennial naturally organized itself around work mostly created in the throes of the pandemic (Times art critic Christopher Knight called it 'the Pandemic Zoom Biennial'), but curators this year said they tried to steer clear of any one particular theme. The unifying aspect of all the work, Harden and Pobocha said, is the city itself. That influence, of course, is as vast and broad as the urban landscape. 'There is a conversation happening between the artists, the work that they make and the context in which they make it — and that context being Los Angeles,' Pochoba said. Harden and Pobocha spent months traversing the city, visiting as many studios and artists as they could in their search for this year's participants. They started broadly and tossed preconceived notions about what the exhibition should look like. They also followed no hard-line parameters about who to visit, or where to visit. They said they considered nontraditional art practices that don't cater to any particular client base. The goal, Pobocha said, was to 'follow the art, follow the artist, and see where that takes us.' 'We love our job, it's research-based,' Harden said. 'And part of that job is just talking with this whole new group of people. The most pleasurable moments come from doing the studio visits.' This year's biennial, which will run Oct. 5 to Jan. 4, 2026, gathers a crop of artists who were born as far away as Baghdad (Ali Eyal) and Haiti (Widline Cadet). The oldest is 85 (Pat O'Neill), the youngest 30 (Eyal). The other participants are David Alekhuogie, Black House Radio / Michael Donte, Greg Breda, Carl Cheng, Kristy Luck, Patrick Martinez, Beaux Mendes, Na Mira, Will Rawls, Brian Rochefort, Amanda Ross-Ho, Gabriela Ruiz, Alake Shilling, Nicole-Antonia Spagnola, Mike Stoltz, Peter Tomka, Freddy Villalobos, Kelly Wall, Leilah Weinraub and Bruce Yonemoto. Some of the artists' work will be selected for the recently announced joint collection managed by the Hammer, Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Museum of Contemporary Art. Called the Mohn Art Collective: Hammer, LACMA, MOCA (or MAC3 for short), the collection started with a gift from philanthropists Jarl and Pamela Mohn with the expectation that it would expand every year. During Made in L.A. years, the mandate is that new pieces be chosen from the biennial. Eighty works from the last 12 years of the program were added to the collection by the Hammer. Made in L.A. artists are eligible for three awards — the $100,000 Mohn Award for artistic excellence, a $25,000 award for career achievement and a $25,000 award chosen by visitors to the biennial.
