The Valley 's Janet Caperna Details Working for Cameron Diaz
Originally appeared on E! Online Janet Caperna is giving the merlot-down on working for Cameron Diaz. The Valley star recently revealed that she was an assistant at the actress' wine company prior to her own rise to reality TV fame. 'I worked for Avaline, which is Cameron Diaz and Katherine Power's wine brand,' Janet said on the May 29 episode of the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast. "That was a job I loved." She added, "I still am obsessed with the wine." During her time as a Hollywood assistant, she even met Zack Wickham, who worked as Nicole Scherzinger's assistant and later became her costar on The Valley. As Janet put it, "The assistants are kind of a small group in L.A." But despite their shared jobs as assistants, the pair hasn't always meshed. Still, Janet shared that she hopes to end their conflict, which has been a point of focus on the Bravo show since the series' early days last spring. "Zach and I, we've been stuck with these same sort of issues for a while, but I do want to get to a place of peace with him," she told co-hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real. "I think he's hilarious." While the followup to Vanderpump Rules follows longtime reality stars like Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor, Janet is new to the scene. And her road to get there has been less than typical, as it all started after she boldly approached Scheana Shay back in her assistant days. More from E!

And her road to get there has been less than typical: It all started after she boldly approached Scheana Shay back in her assistant days. 'I went up to her and was like, 'You're Scheana from Vanderpump, let's take a picture.' We ended up spending the entire day talking,' she explained on the May 29 episode of The Viall Files podcast. 'We talked about what it's like getting divorced in your 20s, which both of us had done [and] starting over.' Janet acknowledged that while their connection may have been unusual, she's not afraid to be honest. 'Sure, it's odd to start a friendship as a fan and somebody who's on reality TV, but I never felt embarrassed to be a Bravo fan," she added. "That's the truth of how we met."

Ariana Madix reveals why she keeps cosmetic treatments 'to a minimum'
Ariana Madix tries to keep cosmetic treatments "to a minimum". The 39-year-old reality star - who recently underwent her "first laser treatment" - revealed while she has Botox "every sixth months or so", she still tries to keep things low key as her 40th birthday approaches on June 24. She told PageSix's 'Virtual Reali-Tea' podcast: "I've been very interested in that [laser treatment] for a long time. "I keep things at a minimum." Ariana insisted her decision isn't simply down to "fine lines" on her skin. She explained: "I just got a little bit [of Botox] in my lips because they were getting really crusty on the inside. "I never go more than 0.5 at a time ... Because I never want to look crazy... 'Fine lines, I don't give a s*** about, but skin laxity is something I've been dealing with." However, she would never undergo facial fillers, as she's been advised she doesn't "have the structure to support it". The former 'Vanderpump Rules' star said: "That's why we started on the lasers. So I will report back after I've had all the thing." Her health and beauty regime includes drinking "insane amounts of water" every day - around 100 ounces - as well as regular workouts at the gym. Despite acknowledging that how she ages "does matter" to her, she doesn't "want to be preoccupied" with it to an unhealthy level, despite "a lot of pressure" from the industry. She said: "At the same time, if you feel good about doing something, go ahead and do it. At the end of the day, it's nobody's business. 'I am in a position where that stuff does matter, but I also know … I'm going to get older no matter what. "If you don't age, you just die. I'd rather be aged than dead." Last summer, the 'Love Island USA' host opened up on the work she'd had done after an Instagram follower shared before and after photos of her while speculating about the procedures she's undergone. She replied: "I'll tell you what i've had! you're partially correct... tox in 11's, outer brow, and my neck. Ellevate for my neck in 2019 by @theneckdoctor. "Minimal lip filler bc my face is too small to handle very much and filler in my chin. 'absolutely no filler anywhere else and def no bleph yet... hope this helps! i'll keep yall posted if i do anything else.'

Heather Rae El Moussa Reveals Why She Wishes She & Husband Started Therapy Before They Got Married
HGTV star Heather Rae El Moussa is opening up about her therapy journey with her husband, Tarek El Moussa. While speaking to Us Weekly in a May 7 interview, Heather noted she and her husband, whom she wed in 2021, started to go to couples therapy in late 2024. She told the publication she would have preferred if she and Tarek had begun seeing a therapist prior to getting married. She explained that she believes seeking therapy before their wedding could have helped them 'just to learn to communicate through things.' 'I think that it can be a really positive thing for an individual and as a couple, and communication is key in any relationship, in a marriage and a best friend and parents," said Heather during the Us Weekly interview. She also said she thinks "it's natural" for married couples to face certain challenges. "Everyone goes through ups and downs and is learning how to work through them as best friends, as a couple, and navigating through certain hardships — or not hardships, just communication," said Heather to Us Weekly. Heather shared that she and her husband were going to couples therapy in a March 2025 episode of the Scrubbing In with Becca Tilley and Tanya Rad podcast, as reported by E! News. She said she and Tarek have disagreed about having another child. The couple has a 2-year-old son named Tristan. Tarek and his ex-wife, Christina Haack, also have two children, Taylor and Brayden. "We're very different on what we want with our future, which is hard because you know you're in love with someone and you have this strong marriage, but then you want very different things. So, we are in therapy talking through things," said Heather on the podcast episode. While speaking to Us Weekly in May 2025, Heather clarified that possibly having more children is not the only topic she and her husband speak about in therapy. Tarek spoke about going to couples therapy in an April 2025 interview on Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea podcast. According to Tarek, he and Heather were inspired to go to a therapist after seeing their friends' successful marriage. He also said he was "99 percent" sure he would not have any more children, even though his wife would like to give Tristan a younger sibling. "I've been a dad a very long time, since I was in my 20s. I'm turning 44 this year. I'm starting to get a little bit older. And I'm very busy with work," said Tarek during the April 2025 interview.

RHOBH's star Brandi Glanville is rushed to hospital amid her mystery facial parasite battle
dashes to the ER during her ongoing battle with a mysterious illness that's caused her to have a striking facial disfigurement. The former Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star, 52, revealed she called 911 on Wednesday after being unable to move her head and neck for hours, preventing her from getting out of bed. Following her belief that the skin condition that has left her disfigured was caused by a parasite, she also posted photos from hospital while she was hooked up to IVs. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO Brandi wrote on X: 'My head and neck would not move for four hours this morning. I could not get out of my bed. 'I called 911 and had a lovely trip in the ambulance, now I am at this amazing place after sitting in a wheelchair in the waiting room for four hours.' Last week, Glanville updated her social media followers that she has seen no improvement in her battle with the facial disfigurement. Brandi shared a photo of a tub filled with brown liquid, explaining it was drainage from her face that's causing various health issues. In March, she wrote: 'The clear plaque sitting on top like oily wax is produced all day by my face. 'It drains down, eroding my teeth. I can't see and have two 2 hard lumps under my left cheekbone - one on the back of the neck and jawbone. I need an infectious disease doctor who specializes in fungal infections? HELP!' Brandi, who's said to have spent over $70,000 trying to get better, also complained of having 'chills' and added that 'all of my lymph nodes in head [and] neck are swollen'. At the time she wrote: 'Doctors at Kaiser [Permanente] say I'm fine.' Updates: She used social media to keep her followers informed from her hospital bed Days prior, Brandi revealed she'd been 'faking it' with her seemingly happy demeanor and she's actually been 'f***ing miserable'. She tweeted: 'My face is worse than ever. It's literally melted away. 'When doctors at [Cedars-Sinai Medical Center] put me on IV antibiotics [and] fungal medication I was getting better. I looked normal, but I couldn't afford to stay on them. I was forced to see doctors outside my insurance because the doctors at Kaiser had no clue. I need my life to change. That is my real-life health update.' Mysterious: She suffered from symptoms of swelling and 'painful lumps' Late last year, Brandi admitted on Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea podcast that she's been suffering from 'deep depression' amid her battle with the mysterious skin condition. She said: 'The pain is more mental than anything, because I have been hiding and going through a deep, deep depression. Even if I could work now, at this point, I couldn't. So it's just been a really rough two years for me.' She added at the time that she was also on antibiotics, which she had briefly stopped and caused the skin on her face to 'sink in'. Woes: Her facial battle began in 2023 when she was hospitalized for a stress-induced condition that causes deep layers of skin to swell up after becoming engorged with fluid (seen in 2023)

What Is Going On with Brandi Glanville's Face? Here's Why She Thinks a Parasite Is to Blame for Her Facial Disfiguration
Brandi Glanville is speaking out — not about The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills drama, but rather, her ongoing health struggles. The Bravo star has been documenting her journey since she started getting treatment for a mystery illness that has been causing a facial disfigurement in 2023. It all began around July when she was diagnosed with stress-induced angioedema — a condition that caused her face to swell up. But nearly two years and numerous treatments and tests later, Glanville is still grappling with her health issues, which she now suspects are caused by a facial parasite. During a December 2024 appearance on Page Six's Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, The Traitors alum opened up about the "rough two years" she has been having and the mental toll it has taken. 'It's hard to hide out during Christmas when everyone's having their parties. It's depressing. It just hurts my brain and my heart,' she said. 'The pain is more mental than anything, because I have been hiding and going through a deep, deep depression. Even if I could work now, at this point, I couldn't." So what's happening with Brandi Glanville's face? Here's everything to know about the parasite The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum suspects is disfiguring her face. For nearly two years, Glanville has been facing an ongoing struggle with facial disfigurement. During the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, the TV personality shared she's been working with doctors after noticing her face was starting to "sink in." "I prefer [my face] when it's a little swollen, to be honest,' Glanville said. 'When it's only swollen on one side, it's not great. But the sinking in thing is killing me slowly, because I just feel like I look like a crackhead.' She added, "I've had days of looking normal, not weeks. I wish. But it comes and goes." Glanville shared with Entertainment Tonight in December 2024 that she believes she contracted a "parasite" from her time in Morocco, North Africa, while filming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. "We had food sitting out for hours on end, and some of it was meat," she explained to Entertainment Tonight, adding that it started in July 2023, "six months" after she returned from Morocco. Whether it's a parasite or not, one thing is for certain: Glanville is "sick of being sick." 'I'm sick of hearing myself complain. I'm sick of everything. I'm sick of the way I look. I'm sick of, like, just hiding out in my house,' Glanville said during a January 2025 episode of her podcast Brandi Glanville Unfiltered. Glanville has been experiencing a long list of symptoms over the last few months. The former model shared on Entertainment Tonight that she can see and feel the unknown "parasite" move within her face if she "messes with it," describing that it looks like "tiny bubbles bursting" on her skin. "I feel like it's s---ing or having babies in my face," she added. Glanville posted an update on X on March 8 and outlined her symptoms, which include "painful lumps" in her jaw bone area, as well as on the side and back of her neck. 'I have chills & a constant oily foul tasting drainage from face into mouth. It's acidic & is eating away at my teeth,' she added. 'Plus all of my lymph nodes in head & neck are swollen. Drs at Kaiser say I'm fine :/ HELP ME." Glanville has visited an immunologist, an infectious disease doctor, a rheumatologist and an ENT in hopes of finding a solution, as she noted to Entertainment Tonight. "I've been to every doctor under the sun," she told the outlet. "I've been on meds this whole year, I don't socialize. I don't go out. I've just been spending all my money on trying to figure out what's wrong with me." Glanville revealed she has spent 'over $70,000' so far — including $10,000 on lab work — and every treatment has just been a temporary fix. In December 2024, she shared on X that she had dissolved all of the filler in her face and that she was seeing "all the best doctors" at Cedar Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and "the doctors they referred me to." One treatment plan — IV antibiotics and fungal medication she said were prescribed by doctors at Cedar Sinai — seemed to be working for some time, though Glanville couldn't stay on them long-term. "I was getting better I looked normal but I couldn't afford to stay on them," Glanville wrote on X on March 6. "I was forced to see drs outside my insurance because the drs at Kaiser had no clue." In January 2025, Glanville announced on X that she had turned to Botched star and plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow for help. 'Yes guys @DrDubrow took 4 tiny biopsy's from my face and neck so we can continue to get better 💕ez pz no pain I was in and out on 30 minutes now we wait🙏🙏🙏🙏,' Glanville wrote. A few days later, she posted a video on X of herself using a lymphatic drainage machine, captioned, "@DrDubrow let's get this f-----." "I will shake for the rest of my life if this thing gets out of my body," she said in the video. Despite months of searching for answers, Glanville is still awaiting an official diagnosis. In December 2024, Dr. Dubrow told TMZ that he doesn't believe Glanville's disfiguration stems from a parasite, but rather "an infectious process or a foreign body reaction to something she's had injected." "There are these two kinds of microorganisms, one's called a Microbacterium and the other is called a fungus, and they can be very difficult to treat and could take six to 12 months of antibiotics to treat,' he added, describing Brandi's situation as a "ticking time bomb." "Every minute the microorganism is allowed to stay in her skin and do potential damage she could suffer worse for it," he continued. "It could be more difficult to treat and she could form more scars and more nodules." Although Glanville is still awaiting official results from her biopsies, she gave a small update in the comment section of an Instagram photo she posted on March 6. 'So what did your biopsy report say? What is the treatment?' one follower asked in the comments, to which Glanville replied, "No cancer but the cultures take six weeks to grow so no news yet but 🤞🏻." One day later, she wrote on X that her face felt "worse than ever" and had "literally melted away." Read the original article on People
