Lala Kent

Back in 2018, Demi Lovato suffered a heroin overdose that nearly cost them their life.

At the time of their near-fatal relapse, Lovato had been sober for six years.

According to multiple outlets, it is all over between Lala Kent and Randall Emmett.

And it's all pretty ugly as well.

The ninth season of Vanderpump Rules got under way this week, and alas, it seems the show has prematurely entered the Jersey Shore Family Vacation portion of its tenure.

What we mean to say is that it looks as though producers are under the impression that viewers will continue to tune in out of affection for the remaining cast members, despite the fact that we clearly won't be seeing any more of the bonkers drama that made the series a hit in the first place.

A new season of Vanderpump Rules premieres on Bravo tonight, and longtime viewers are worried that the show won't be able to deliver the same level ofr drama that it was known for in the past.

After all, the show lost several core cast members since last season, and a few of them -- Jax Taylor, in particular -- were crucial to the bonkers vibe that kept the show interesting during its first eight seasons.

In the wake of her well-deserved firing from The Real Housewives of Orange County, Kelly Dodd hasn't gone away.

In fact, given her recent out-of-nowhere feuding with Lala Kent, it looks like she's desperate for attention.

Back in July of 2018, Demi Lovato suffered an overdose that nearly claimed their life.

After several weeks of recovery in an LA hospital, Lovato checked into an intensive rehab program that kept them out of the public eye for the remainder of the year.

Last month, it was finally announced that Bravo fired Kelly Dodd. It was welcome news.

With Housewives fans breathing a collective sigh of relief, it looks like she's not getting as much of the negative attention that she craves.

Well, we have good news and bad news for Vanderpump Rules fans.

The good news is, the show will be returning to Bravo for a ninth season.

Bravo, Lala Kent!

You just dropped some news that totally and complete rules!

Back in Septmber, Lala Kent announced that she's pregnant with her first child.

That means Lala is one of four -- count 'em, four -- Vanderpump Rules stars who are currently knocked up.

It's still unclear whether Vanderpump Rules will be canceled (as it probably should be) or whether the formerly popular series will return for a ninth (and presumably final) season on Bravo.

The show would be light on cast members following the firings of veterans Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute, as well as newcomers Max Boyens and Brett Ciprioni.

It's been four months since Stassi Schroeder was fired from Vanderpump Rules, but it seems she hasn't lost a step when it comes to stirring up conflict with her former co-stars.

Her latest beef is with Scheana Shay, and if Stassi is trying to prove to producers that her unique brand of drama will be missed on the show, she's doing a good job.

Obviously, there are many, many downsides to the global pandemic that's claimed over 200,000 American lives, but for now, let's focus on one of the least-discussed bummers of 2020:

Unhinged reality stars are still engaging in all sorts of petty beefs, but there's no one there to film the drama!

You could confidently say that Lala Kent and Randall Emmett's impending baby sure knows how to make an entrance.

Before he or she is even born.

For weeks, Vanderpump Rules fans have been expecting an announcement from Lala Kent about her split from fiance Randall Emmett.

Instead, they just got hit with a very different kind of announcement:

These are tumultuous times in the lives of the Vanderpump Rules cast.

In fact, it may be time to start referring to them as ex-reality stars, as it looks increasingly as though the show will never return to Bravo.

If you're a Vanderpump Rules fan, then by now, you've likely heard the news that Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute have been fired from the show that made them famous.

The decision was a result of the revelation that Schroeder and Doute called the cops on Faith Stowers -- their only black castmate -- in order to falsely accuse her of drugging and robbing Los Angeles bar patrons.

His music career long over and done with, 50 Cent now devotes most of his waking hours to petty beefs with C- and D-list celebrities.

It's hard to choose a "most random" from the rapper's long list of unlikely enemies, but 50's feud with Lala Kent of Vanderpump Rules fame certainly caught a lot of fans off-guard.

If you watched the most recent season of Vanderpump Rules, you know that James Kennedy was pretty much left without a friend in the world.

Sure, Tom Sandoval and Lisa might occasionally come to his defense, but if forced to choose between James and the rest of the group, they'd turn their backs on White Kanye faster than you can say "it's not about the pasta."

You've heard of the power of the dollar -- now behold the power of 50 Cent.

As you may have heard, social media users were captivated over the weekend by a surprising feud that pitted the rapper against Lala Kent of Vanderpump Rules fame.

Between Avengers: Endgame and the highly-anticipated Battle of Winterfell, you may have felt overwhelmed by the embarrassment of pop cultural riches this weekend.

Of course, with so many entertainment options begging to be consumed before spoilage sets in, you may have missed a showdown that rivals Arya vs. the Night King in terms of jaw-dropping savagery:

If you watched Vanderpump Rules on Monday then you witnessed an unexpected meltdown from one of the show's most pleasantly aloof and level-headed cast members.

Lala Kent positively lost her sh-t at a brunch event hosted by Billie Lee, and pretty much everyone who was on hand for the tirade came to the conclusion that the actress/SUR hostess was in an extremely fragile state.

A curious phenomenon has been taking place on the current season of Vanderpump Rules.

Against all odds, and seemingly against their inclinations, West Hollywood's most unrepentant hedonists are very slooooowly beginning to show signs of maturity.

Recent episodes of Vanderpump Rules have asked viewers to choose a side on a number of divisive issues:

Is Jax really ready to get married, or is he simply seeking comfort in the aftermath of his father's death?
