What to Expect From Bravo's Nepo Baby Reality Show
Bravo is making a big bet on the Gen Z offspring of some of the most famous stars from its 'Real Housewives' franchise. The network released a trailer this week for 'Next Gen NYC,' a show that will follow the lives of four young reality scions and their influencer peers as they navigate work, life and love in Manhattan. For the reality connoisseurs among us, try to imagine 'Rich Kids of Beverly Hills' meets 'NYC Prep.' For everyone else, here's a primer. Who's on the show? The cast features the offspring of four 'Real Housewives': Ariana Biermann and Riley Burruss, the daughters of the former 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' stars Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Kandi Burruss; Brooks Marks, the son of the 'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' favorite Meredith Marks; and Gia Giudice, the daughter of the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' legend Teresa Giudice. The rest of the cast is made up of a handful of influencers and so-called nepo babies, including Ava Dash, a daughter of the record executive Damon Dash and the fashion designer Rachel Roy; Emira D'Spain, a model and influencer who will be Bravo's first full-time trans cast member; Georgia McCann, a creative strategist Bravo describes as 'New York's ultimate Gen Z It girl'; Charlie Zakkour, a crypto trader and club kid; Hudson McLeroy, Ms. Biermann's on-again, off-again boyfriend and the heir to the fast-food chain Zaxby's; and Shai Fruchter, an assistant at the Wall Group. What kind of drama can be expected? 'Next Gen NYC' looks relatively restrained compared with the high-stakes drama on some of the editions of 'Real Housewives.' (Legal battles! Shocking divorces! Physical altercations!) But the show has teased Ms. Dash and Ms. Biermann feuding over fashion, and Ms. Biermann cursing out Mr. Marks as Ms. Giudice deadpans, 'This is so stupid.' There's also the drama inherent to being a young New York transplant, such as Ms. Biermann declaring she's 'absolutely petrified' riding the subway, or Ms. Burruss accidentally tossing her phone into the Hudson River. Will there be any 'Real Housewives' cameos? According to Bravo, there will be plenty — and that's probably what they're counting on to boost audience numbers. All of the Housewives whose children appear on the show are slated to make appearances. In the trailer, which was released this week, viewers get a glimpse into Mr. Marks's 'tumultuous work relationship' with his mother and at Ms. Zolciak-Biermann balking at a $14,000 night out. Seth Marks, the husband of Ms. Marks and father of Brooks, also factors heavily into the trailer, asking his son awkward questions about his sex life and saying he's attached to his mother 'like a little baby kangaroo.' Will it be worth watching? Honestly, this series feels like a deep cut. People who are not Bravo obsessives should approach with caution. But for those who can rattle off every Housewife by memory, the show premieres June 3 at 9 p.m. Eastern time on Bravo and will be available on Peacock the following day.

Camila Cabello, Kim Kardashian mourn celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero: 'Gone too soon'
Camila Cabello, Kim Kardashian mourn celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero: 'Gone too soon' On the heels of Jesus Guerrero dying unexpectedly at 34 years old, the celebrity hairstylist is receiving an outpouring of love from those who knew him, including his former star clients. "Our glam fam means the world to us. We work together, vacation and celebrate our lives together! Our great respect for the art of hair and make up has (led) us to meeting some of the kindest souls and made some of our bestest friends," Kim Kardashian wrote in an Instagram story on Monday. "So when one of our glam family members passes away all of our souls are crushed. My heart breaks for Kylie and everyone who loved Jesus the way we all did," her message continued. "I'm praying for his family, his loved ones and the whole beauty community who feels this deep loss of one of the most talented and kindest to ever do it! Rest in peace @jesushair." Guerrero's clients ranged from Kylie Jenner to Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Demi Moore, Blackpink's Lisa and Rosalía. One of his most recent projects involved styling Lopez's hair while she was in Abu Dhabi to perform for Saadiyat Nights last week. The multi-hyphenate tagged Guerrero in a post she shared from her "business trip" last Wednesday. Jesus Guerrero recently worked with Kylie Jenner, Selena Gomez According to his agency the Wall Group and a GoFundMe started by his family, Guerrero recently died, with no date or cause of death given. "He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more. Born and raised in Houston, TX to immigrant parents, Jesus learned how to work hard and dreamt of taking his skills to the top," reads his family's GoFundMe that is fundraising for expenses related to his death. "Unfortunately, his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly." "Jesus was a beloved artist, friend, and a special soul whose kindness and craft profoundly touched the lives of many," the Wall Group's Instagram Story, shared Sunday, read. "We are heartbroken and devastated by this tragic loss. His time with us was cut too short, but his lasting impact on the industry is immense and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him." One of his most consistent clients was Jenner, who often posted snaps with the Houston-born artist. The two were recently in Georgia together for a promotional event for her canned vodka soda business venture, and last month they were in Paris for Haute Couture Week. His other recent works include hairstyling for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's Interview Magazine cover story, Demi Moore's appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and Kali Uchis' Old Hollywood look at the 2025 Grammy Awards earlier this month. Last year, highlights from his portfolio included a long, loose waves look for Lisa at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, an understated straight 'do to complement JLo's show-stopping look at the Toronto International Film Festival and Katy Perry's wet mermaid look at the MTV VMAs. Jesus Guerrero's death: Family mourns hairstylist, who 'suddenly and unexpectedly' died at 34 Camila Cabello, Chrissy Teigen pay tribute to Jesus Guerrero On Sunday, Camila Cabello paid tribute to Guerrero as "a true artist." "Shocking day for everyone that knew you," she wrote alongside a photo of him in front of the Mona Lisa at the Louvre. "You were a true artist, but most of all, a gentle and sweet energy gone too soon and we will all miss you." Chrissy Teigen also praised the late talent in her own Instagram story, shared Monday. "Oh @jesushair you were so beyond loved and will be missed so much by so so so many people. I can't believe you are gone," she wrote. "To his family, you raised such an incredible, talented, humble, kind man. We are sending you all the love possible for your unimaginable loss." Ash K Holm, a longtime friend who also honed her skills in Houston as well as a makeup artist who works with the Kardashians, mourned the loss of "a best friend" and "legend" on Monday. She also shared a sweet memory that showcased Guerrero's character. "When Hamed and I moved to LA, we shipped a pod with all our belongings. I was still in Houston wrapping up bridal work, so I wasn't there to unpack. Without me asking, Jesus and his boyfriend at the time, Angel, just showed up. They unloaded everything, set up our space, and by the time I got home, our house was completely decorated," she wrote. "Jesus didn't even let Hamed have a say — he and Angel spent hours making our house feel like a home. "That was Jesus. He didn't just show up—he showed up in every way that mattered."
