Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald

Bravo Fan Fest Fallout, Cheating Podcast Couple and why Paris Hilton Ghosted Kim’s book

Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald

Show Notes

I break down Bravo's fan fest, where Bethenny Frankel went after Andy Cohen and the network announced some controversial new shows. Which series could be canceled or recast, and is Brielle Biermann really being left out because of her family trauma? Another hot podcasting couple has split, allegedly over infidelity with a fan turned employee. I ask why so many people are coming after Gina on Real Housewives of Orange County, and I dish on Tom Brady's new girlfriend. I review Collin Gosselin's book as Kate Gosselin fights back in the comments, and I ask why so much child abuse seemed to happen on TLC. Plus, there's a possible break in the Nancy Guthrie case, Sofia Vergara is spotted with another man, Chrishell Stause makes a teary announcement, and Jen Shah brags about being best friends with Elizabeth Holmes. Finally, Kim Kardashian's book is coming and I analyze why Paris Hilton canceled 17 times and never took part.

On today’s Juicy Scoop, the hottest topic is TJ Holmes and Amy Robach. They lost their TV hosting jobs over their affair while both were married to other people, and now they’re married to each other and both of their exes are engaged! I also get into other famous couples this has happened to, plus the latest on Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s divorce. Jay-Z picked himself to perform at the Super Bowl. After five years of believing she had MS, Christina Applegate has been told she doesn’t. And I have an update on Selma Blair, who does have MS, and her arrest after allegedly attacking people on a plane. Dancing with the Stars had a pregnancy announcement and drama over a social media post, and RHOSLC’s Brandon has a past relationship with a Real Housewife. Then it’s my interview with Dorothy Wang, formerly of Rich Kids of Beverly Hills and Bling Empire, who now has her own series about her wedding. We talk about the fallout of her 15-year friendship with Morgan Stewart and why strong female friendships can blow up like that. Were they ever really your friend, or a frenemy? It’s so juicy and very behind the scenes on how reality shows get made and cast. You’ll love it!

Kempire is here, and we're getting into all the hot topics! First up, I'm breaking down You Can See Everything, the number one movie about Elizabeth Holmes: what was real, what wasn't, and what her real intention was in doing this film. Selena Gomez opens up about vaping and how it's affected her voice, and Miley Cyrus addresses fans about her lack of enthusiasm at the Hollywood Bowl. Then Kempire joins me for Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. I remind you my new song drops this Thursday, October 22nd, and ask: am I bothered by Housewives who can't sing becoming pop stars? Plus, what did Bronwyn pay her boyfriend, and was he even a boyfriend at all? We dig into Real Housewives of New York and the Jeffrey Epstein of it all, and what Emily really meant when she said Shane was watching a how-to video on pleasing women down there on RHOC. And finally, the most explosive show right now, Real Housewives of Potomac: Dr. Wendy and her husband Eddie's fraud charges, and Tia's husband getting caught with a dating profile. So juicy, so good!

Chris Franjola is back on Juicy Scoop, and we have so much to get into! We debate the Sebastian Maniscalco comedy channel drama and whether working comics really got screwed, I finally tell the story of the opening act who trashed me on the radio, and we weigh in on Shane Gillis’ SNL monologue. Chris confesses his date with a much younger woman, which ended in a branzino disaster. We also break down the Baywatch reboot trailer, Pamela Anderson’s no-makeup era, Dane Cook’s documentary, Tom Cruise’s box office bomb, the James Corden plane story, and the scary Six Flags ride closures. And the BIG news: I’m debuting my brand new Juicy Scoop theme song, and you’ll hear Chris’s reaction first! It drops everywhere October 22nd, so make sure you pre-download it by clicking this link:

Zack Peter is back, and we’re starting with Selma Blair’s arrest after an alleged attack on a flight attendant mid-flight. Milania Giudice reveals she’s been in a mental health facility and plans to use her platform for good, and I share my prediction for what’s next for her. One of my old predictions just came true: Joe Manganiello’s new autobiography confirms what really ended his marriage to Sofía Vergara. Shane Gillis is getting slammed for his SNL monologue, including by Dan Levy, and Zack tells the wild story of what went down between Kelly Clarkson and the Art of Play store. Britney Spears keeps posting old videos, and we’ve made peace with it. Then we compare Angie’s divorce on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City to Emily’s marriage drama on Real Housewives of Orange County. We review the movie Verity, and get into the upcoming Hugh Hefner movie and why his widow, Crystal, is begging Jessica Biel to reconsider her role.

Oct 8, 2026

Kate Casey is back, and we're starting with the news that Whitney Rose from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has filed for divorce from her husband, Justin. We get into the Housewives curse and why so many of these marriages fall apart once the cameras start rolling, and what may have been going on behind the scenes for Whitney. I also share my theory on how the latest Real Housewives of New York divorce news may have played into her timing. Then we break down the scene where Andy finally apologizes to Melissa and Teresa for how Bravo brought Melissa onto Ultimate Girls Trip behind Teresa's back, and we gush about The Golden Life with our New York OGs. Plus, Kylie Jenner has a new acting project, and I share my predictions for how it will go. Kate tells me about her latest interview on the story behind St. Elmo's Fire. And we dig into Real Housewives of Orange County and how the way a Housewife was parented shapes how she parents her own kids, including whether Emily's children would be better off if she weren't on TV.
