Katie Maloney

The upcoming 12th season of Vanderpump Rules could be its last due to salary disputes and seemingly unresolvable conflicts among various cast members. Sources tell DailyMail.com that producers have even started auditioning fresh faces to potentially replace the current cast if needed. 'They're still negotiating with a few stars who are holding out for more money and are unwilling to compromise,' said one source.

A new reality TV power couple may be on the horizon with a new report that Vanderpump Rules star Katie Maloney was spotted with Love Island USA 's Connor Newsum. Maloney, 37, and Newsum, 28, were spotted at Laurel Tavern in Studio City, California on Tuesday, according to a US Weekly report. The source said that they both got a table in the corner of the restaurant and weren't joined by anyone else, noting that Maloney, 'looked amazing.'

Does anyone believe Tom Sandoval’s explanation about what happened with that shocking lawsuit against Ariana Madix??

For those who missed the latest Scandoval drama, here’s the rundown. Last week, he filed a lawsuit against Ariana for getting “access” to the sexually explicit video of Rachel Leviss without “authorization or permission.” Sandoval then claimed the Love Island USA host made “copies” of the footage and “distributed” them to Rachel and others. He essentially sued her for finding an NSFW video that exposed his months-long affair — something she never expected to see on her boyfriend’s phone at the time! Yeesh…

Ariana Madix looked care-free as she stopped by her new sandwich shop, Something About Her, on Wednesday despite news that she and co-owner Katie Maloney are being sued by a former chef. The reality TV star, 39, flashed her midriff while enjoying a coffee break outside of the West Hollywood-based eatery. Madix recently returned to LA after hosting the most recent season of Love Island USA in Fiji.

Katie Maloney is sticking up for Ariana Madix!

On Tuesday, it was revealed that Tom Sandoval is suing Ariana over coming across explicit videos of him and Rachel Leviss. You know — the ones that exposed their months-long affair. Sandoval argued his ex-girlfriend “obtained access” to the contents of his phone without his  “authorization or permission,” alleging that she went on to make “copies” and share them with “Leviss and third parties” without his consent. Ariana’s legal team already had a very vicious response to the legal matter, but now her bestie is coming to her defense, too!

The love triangle between Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz has begun!

We’ve known for a while that the former couple were both going after the same woman on this season of Vanderpump Rules. Her name is Tori Keeth, and she’s a 24-year-old singer-songwriter… and a nanny for Scheana Shay. But we had yet to see this insanity to believe it! And now it’s finally airing!
