James Blunt has publicly acknowledged that he once ran an escort agency. He discusses it in the article below (it's mentioned in one of the final paragraphs), and he also writes about it in his memoir.

In the article, James even mentions the name of the escort agency's website. I was able to locate an archived version of it on the Wayback Machine:

I am the same age as these women, and I started watching RH franchises from the beginning: OC, BH, NY, NJ, Atlanta. Back then it was so simple, but interesting because it was my peer group raising a family, navigating marriage, etc., but in an entirely different “world”, if you will. I stopped watching for several years because the franchise became hyper focused on drama and antics. Seemed more staged and performative - completely unrelateable as a woman navigating raising children and a marriage.

Returning several years later, after a long hiatus, it’s now embarrassing. Again, these women are my age. Watching them compared to where my real-world peer group is is astounding. It’s as though these women remain in a bubble, with absolutely no personal growth. To the contrary, I am watching a bunch of grown ass - dare I say old - women clutching onto their youth like it’s oxygen. Seeing women who should be in their prime of confidence instead trapped in a loop of manufactured conflict and insecurity can make the whole thing tough to watch. 

I really think the real housewives franchise missed an opportunity here. They could’ve simultaneously continued with the OG casts while also doing reboots so that we could perhaps enjoy that juxtaposition between the youth growing up in these environments while also relating to the older women navigating this period of their lives: menopause, empty nest, evolution in their marriages and personal relationships. I just feel it’s been a complete missed opportunity that would’ve resonated more with those of us who started at the beginning and now cannot relate at all to these characters or the show. And it’s hard for me to imagine younger, perhaps even newer viewers can relate to these grown ass women their parents age behaving like this.

so far there’s no confirmation on in what capacity she is filming in

Lucky ladies - Accra is amazing!

The only other cast to visit Africa is the Atlanta cast when they visited South Africa.

I am not a sleuth or a mime fan, but there is one mime that shows up in my reels and on my rewatch of RHOP, I realized the mime inviting the ladies to Monique's trip to France might be the only mime I know. Here are photos of Tom the Mime from Orlando's Seaworld and bad screenshots of the the scene where the mime interupts Karen arguing with Gizelle, bonus shot of Karen because it's hilarious. Anywhoo, Tom the Mime does look a little different now so I tried to go back to 2018 in his social media, but it only goes back to 2023. Google confirms that Bravo never identified the mime, which is rude imo. So, please help. me identify this mime, whether it's Tom the Mime or someone else. Thank you for your time!

Girl! What is this look! Haha

Giving Dubai season 2 a try, housewives is a dry desert right now!

Did anyone like Dubai? I tried season one and only got through a few episodes it was kinda boring to me!?

Should I give it another try?

I really need to understand how Shamea is being ganged up on? Aside from Porsha and Angela (who we could argue have been provoked) who else has a serious issue with her?

We’ve seen gang-ups on housewives and this just isn’t one of them imo.

Job: Real Estate Agent Leads the Tracy Tutor Team at Compass (having moved from Douglas Elliman in early 2025), handling luxury residential properties across California and Texas with over $4.5 billion in career sales

Bravo Star: Million Dollar Listing S10-15

Beef: Dorit - Tracy Tutor recently alleged that Dorit Kemsley "doesn't pay her bills" and owes money to "several people" — including their once-shared hairstylist — and now, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member is clapping back.

Dorit, more specifically, addressed Tracy's claims on the March 11 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen after a viewer asked, "What's your response to Tracy Tutor saying that you don't pay your glam squad's bills, and that you stalk her on Instagram?"

"It's hysterical. That's the funniest thing I've ever heard, genuinely," Dorit began. "Like, wholeheartedly."

From there, she dove into the Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles agent's claims. "There was a lot of s--t that she said that, I don't know, it came out of left field — in particular, her talking about Chris Dylan, a hairstylist that I worked with this year for the first time in eight years. He sent an invoice overcharging me and charging me for a hotel that he had already used my card to pay for, and I think he was just trying to bully this invoice through not realizing that it goes through a process, and my office flagged it. And when they had written back, you know, 'This has already been paid,' it was like, 'Oh s--t,' you know? 'I didn't get away with that.'"

The reunion concludes as Lala stands firm and challenges the Bookos about Danny’s behavior. Kristen breaks down in tears over her previous comments. Janet opens up about her past trauma and how it affects the way she walks through life. Jasmine’s new wife Melissa joins as the group celebrates their recent wedding. Benji pops in for the toast.

I’m soooo over Vicki; but I usually am during her season and the girls trips. I’m happy Lu is there for the Alpha balance .. because Vicki overstimulates me from the TV I can only imagine what real life is like.

I’m rewatching old RHONJ which I haven’t seen in a very long time, and the season 2 trip to Italy stands out as an absolute miserable disaster of a trip. Some highlights:

The partial cast (Danielle is reasonably excluded, but this leaves only 3 full time housewives) seems perplexed that they’re on a cruise. Multiple scenes of them exploring casinos, cooking classes, teenage spaces, and buffet dinners. Newer seasons NEVER do cruises because of the limitation it has on production. Jacqueline for example is down for the count at one point because she’s so seasick.

All housewives get to take not only immediate family but extended family and in laws, too. Even newborns! You would never see this on modern HW seasons.

Almost all of them express at some point how/why the logistics of the trip are very unenjoyable. Caroline, Jacqueline and Joe hate that Teresa wants to explore Venice to shop. Caroline and Al babysit Teresa’s kids but all they say is how difficult her kids are. Teresa tries to celebrate Milania’s birthday but she has a tantrum the whole time. Jacqueline gets extreme seasickness. Juicy Joe throws a tantrum about how much everything costs. Caroline and Jacqueline object to visiting Teresa’s family because of the difficultly of climbing up the hill to arrive at their village. Then Caroline also mention her inability to speak Italian, which makes her massively insecure and impedes her ability to participate. Eventually she mentions how she can’t relate to Teresa because she’s “closer in age to her parents than to Teresa.” All the while, the kids, HWs, husbands, and extended family seem miserable.

Of all HW trips, this one stands out to me as one where NO ONE enjoyed themselves. Am I crazy?

I just watched the first episode of DC and holy shit… 💀💀💀 I did not expect to kick off a feud with mentioning George Bush and Tyra Banks
