Vanderpump Rules<\/em>\u00a0is returning for its\u00a0triumphant twelfth season\u00a0with a completely new set of servers and bartenders working for Lisa Vanderpump. Production began filming in early 2025, when cameras were spotted filming at Sexy Unique Restaurant (SUR) Lounge in West Hollywood.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The last few seasons shifted their focus away from SUR and the staff as the original cast members outgrew their roles as servers and bartenders. Initially, they were struggling servers, bartenders, and aspiring actors and models, which lent the show its authenticity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

By Seasons 7-10, most of them had built careers, brand deals, or were involved in other businesses. Stassi had a podcast and book deals, Katie and Ariana opened their sandwich shop, Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz co-owned TomTom and Schwartz & Sandy\u2019s, Jax and Brittany bought a house in the Valley and opened their own bar, and Scheana became a mom and grew her family.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even when producers tried to stage SUR scenes, cast members were just popping in for a quick drink or staged conversation.<\/p>\n

By the time \u201cScandoval\u201d hit, it blew up the entire friend group. When people in the friend group started picking sides, no band-aids could fix that bullet hole. The damage was done.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Katie and Ariana refused to film with Sandoval, and Schwartz was caught in the middle, having known of the affair for weeks, causing further pain for Ariana and Katie. Lala and Scheana had a complicated reaction, revealing how emotionally tangled the friend group really was.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scheana still refused to fully reconcile with Sandoval but did film with him, crying and saying she missed the group dynamic. Lala and Ariana are no longer friends, as Lala expressed disappointment when Ariana didn\u2019t want to film with Sandoval anymore.<\/p>\n

The reboot returns to the show\u2019s original roots, centering once again on the restaurant, the lives, ambitions, and the messy dynamics that unfold behind the bar and in the workplace of the staff.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the trailer opens, Lisa Vanderpump sets the stage with a cheeky nod to SUR\u2019s reputation: \u201cI used to say SUR is where you take your mistress, but I guess it\u2019s where you meet her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her line perfectly captures the energy of the new season: unapologetic, unfiltered, and ready to dive headfirst into the chaos that made\u00a0Vanderpump Rules<\/em>\u00a0iconic.<\/p>\n

The new staff bring back the raw authenticity and early hustle that the show once thrived on; young, hungry, and determined to make it in Hollywood while working a serving job. While they do have big shoes to fill, the dynamics have already formed friendships, feuds, and romances.<\/p>\n

Also included in the new cast are Angelica Jensen, the newest hire at SUR Restaurant & Lounge, who joins the cast as someone with big ambitions in modelling, acting, and building a swimwear brand; Marcus Johnson, a longtime SUR employee who\u2019s also trying to transition into DJing and social life in general after the death of his parents; and Audrey Lingle, a newly single aspiring actress who has a bubbly charm and girl-next-door charisma.<\/p>\n

Season 12 of\u00a0Vanderpump Rules<\/em> premieres on Tuesday, Dec. 2, at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. This time around, the new SUR crew works, parties, and hooks up \u2014 a chaotic mix that\u2019s as risky as it is irresistible to watch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a longtime\u00a0Vanderpump Rules<\/em>\u00a0fan who\u2019s lived through every unforgettable moment from Jax cheating on\u00a0Stassi and the infamous \u201cMiami Girl\u201d confrontation\u00a0to the Jax\u2013Faith recording scandal, Lisa firing Kristen, and, of course, the pasta argument, I\u2019m ready to give this reboot a fair shot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who knows? It might just deliver a new era of iconic moments waiting to be watched, dissected, and endlessly analyzed.<\/p>\n

Quick on the heels of famously sassy, phrase-turning R&B singer and reality TV star Tamar Braxton\u2019s announcement her recently released album, \u201cBluebird of Happiness,\u201d will be her last \u2014 at least for a while \u2014 and news that her husband, music executive husband Vincent Herbert, founder of Streamline Records, was legally ordered to pay Sony more than $3.7 million to settle a lawsuit over a 2013 advance, the couple hoisted their grandly proportioned and glamorously appointed Mediterranean mansion in Calabasas, Calif., up for sale at $15 million.<\/p>\n

The Herbert-Braxtons, married in late 2007 after about five years together, purchased the 13,716-square-foot mansion inside the double-gated Estates at The Oaks enclave in April 2013 for $10.5 million and public records show since then there have been several notices of default filed and subsequently canceled against the two-acre spread that provides a total of seven bedrooms and nine full and two half bathrooms between the main house and poolside guesthouse.<\/p>\n

Wrought iron and glass front doors open to an entry vestibule and foyer with black and white floral-patterned inlaid floor and a floating, wrought iron railed staircase that curves up to the bedrooms on the second floor. The main living and entertaining space makes a great sweep across the rear of the residence with gleaming wide-plank hardwood floors laid in a classy chevron pattern.<\/p>\n

A central gallery with glossy grand piano is flanked to one side by a lounge with semi-circular sofa in front of an ornate fireplace and to the other by a \u201cchampagne bar\u201d modeled after The Dorchester Hotel in London with tufted velvet sofas and a stately wood-paneled ceiling.<\/p>\n

Arched French doors open the vast space to an immense, stone-paved loggia with retractable canvas shade awnings and a bowling alley-length dining table that easily seats at least two-dozen al fresco diners. With elaborately carved cabinetry, granite countertops and a super-sized commercial-style range under a hand-hammered copper hood, the kitchen is open to a spacious informal dining area that, in turn, opens to a family room with fireplace and French doors to the backyard.<\/p>\n

The three-story mansion\u2019s creature comfort also include a home theater, a game room, an office, a wine cellar with tasting room and, unsurprisingly, a recording studio along with an elevator, an camera-equipped security system, a gentlemen\u2019s lounge with authentic barber chair, a mirror-walled gym and a subterranean parking garage that will accommodate over a dozen cars. The mansion makes a U-shaped embrace around a broad and grassy courtyard with swimming pool and spa beyond which a soccer pitch-sized lawn gives way to a panoramic view over rugged ravines and undeveloped mountaintops.<\/p>\n

Some of the other, equally sized and similarly luxurious estates in The Estates sections of The Oaks are owned by reality television\u2019s Kourtney and Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian, Michael Jackson\u2019s mother Katherine Jackson, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Jay McGraw, elder son of extraordinarily well-compensated TV therapist Dr. Phil McGraw, and his Playboy model wife Erica Dahm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
