We can’t cover every news story ourselves. Fortunately, there are a lot of great sources for reality TV news and gossip. Check out this links from some of our favorite sites in the September 23, 2019 edition of Monday Morning Tea.
Kris Jenner
Do you ever watch reality TV and feel like the cast members are friends in your head? How about the parents? Do you ever watch and wonder what it would be like to have them as a mom? Just me? Alright, then.
I cannot help being fascinated by the relationships between reality TV stars and their mothers. Not all moms are created equal and not everyone is meant to be a reality TV star. Some of them are just hilarious. They steal every scene and deserve to star in shows of their own. It gets to a point with some of these cast members that it seems like their moms are the reason they’re still on TV. I don’t want to call anyone out, but when your mom gets her own on-camera interviews on your show, she’s definitely stealing your shine. Whether she’s trying to or not.
Viewers have been Keeping Up With the Kardashians, literally, for 16 seasons-– seasons. That’s because the first family of reality television keeps delivering the dramatic goods. This includes a whole new generation of adorable Kardashians. It’s hard to believe this empire was spawned by a sex tape that featured the first among equals Kim Kardashian and her ex-boyfriend Ray J.
A tape that Kim’s genius momager Kris Jenner used to turn water into wine when she shopped around their reality show. It seems another lifetime ago. Now the youngest sibling, Kylie Jenner is a mom and a billionaire. Almost as incredibly, Kim, who never graduated from college, is studying to become a lawyer!
Season 16 of Keeping Up With Kardashians looks like the most dramatic season yet. The royal family of reality television never fails to deliver. A lot has happened since the last season, and it looks like they are diving right into it. Everything is on display in the latest teaser for the new season. At this point, the lives of all five sisters are on the verge of imploding.
The biggest question heading into the new season is how much of the Tristan Thompson/Jordyn Woods drama would be featured. UH. A LOT OF IT. However, the chilling video wastes no time addressing the widely reported scandal. The Kanye West track in the background perfectly sets the vibe of the video. While we love the trailer, it looks like Khloe Kardashian’s life will never be the same again.
I think we can all agree that Don’t Be Tardy stars Kim Zolciak and husband Kroy Biermann make beautiful babies together. Four of them —so far— Kroy Jr., 7, Kash, 6, and 5-year-old twins Kaia and Kane since their marriage in 2011. A boisterous pack of red-headed youngsters that joined Kim’s daughters Brielle Biermann and Ariana Biermann from prior relationships.
We can also agree that babies have been good business for Kim and Kroy. After all, they have filmed seven seasons of Don’t Be Tardy. Seven seasons on a show must a sweet financial consolation after her controversial exit from Real Housewives of Atlanta. After that, she claimed that she “walked away from millions.”
Even though they’ve publicly feuded, many reality TV stars gathered with family for Christmas. Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, and Joe Gorga celebrated Christmas Eve together. But what kind of cookies did they eat? Did Melissa bring some sprinkle cookies? Or did Teresa insist on eating pignoli cookies? Hopefully, they didn’t argue about desserts this year.
After years of public tension, it seems like sisters Kyle Richards, Kim Richards, and Kathy Hilton are in a great place. They spent Christmas together as well.
Even though she’s on the outs with her stepchildren, Caitlyn Jenner went to Kim Kardashian’s Christmas party. Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian wore matching outfits with their daughters. Kyle Richards, and Faye Resnick, joined old friend Kris Jenner for a group photo.

As expected, plenty of reality TV stars wore matching Christmas pajamas. Bristol Palin coordinated pajamas with her kids. Additionally, Kameron Westcott and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave took part in the social media Christmas tradition as well.
Stassi Schroeder took her man Beau Clark to her hometown, New Orleans. Jax Taylor visited Brittany Cartwright’s family in Kentucky. California native Scheana Marie spent time with her family, which did include some matching pajamas.
Other reality stars celebrated their last Christmas before adding to their family. For instance, Porsha Williams, Paola Mayfield, and Lauren Burnham showed off their baby bumps. Jersey Shore stars Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Deena Nicole Cortese shared baby bump pictures as well.

Bethenny Frankel went Instagram official with Paul Bernon in the Dominican Republic. Meanwhile, Cynthia Bailey shared an airplane selfie with her man Mike Hill.
Dolores Catania was just happy to have both of her kids back in the Garden State. And Dorinda Medley enjoyed celebrating with her daughter Hannah.

How is it possible that Vanderpump Rules did not win the People’s Choice Award for the Reality TV Show of 2018? Keeping Up With the Kardashians won that prize.
Keep in mind, the People’s Choice Awards is broadcast by E! This is the same network that Keeping Up with the Kardashians has been on for over a decade. Is that a coincidence? Truthfully, I have no idea. I just want to know who these people are that made this choice. I love keeping up with the Kardashian and Jenner family members, but Vanderpump Rules delivers episode after episode. Their level of drama is truly unparalleled.
Tonight the reality stars stormed the red carpet for E!’s People’s Choice Awards in Santa Monica. The Vanderpump Rules cast turned out, a few of the Jersey Shore gang, a couple of Kardashians and more!
Every cast member (minus Lisa Vanderpump) from Vanderpump Rules attended the awards together, as they were all nominated together for Reality Show of 2018. Stassi Schroeder, Lala Kent, Katie Maloney, Tom Schwartz, Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, Kristen Doute, Jax Taylor (dapper in a tux!), Brittany Cartwright, Scheana Marie, and James Kennedy all brought their A-Games when it came to the red carpet fashion. Check out the gallery below and tell us who wins the best dressed award.
Also attending: Kris Jenner (what is up with the sunglasses indoors?), Khloe and Kim Kardashian. Keeping up With the Kardashians won the People’s Choice Award for “Reality Show of 2018”, beating out Vanderpump Rules and Jersey Shore.
