Despite the fact that not one, but two of the show’s four central couples have split up recently, Bravo has renewed “The Valley” for a second season. And yes, the full cast is expected to be back — even those who seem to be heading toward divorce.
“The Valley” — years in the making — premiered on Bravo on March 19, in the Tuesday timeslot after “Vanderpump Rules,” its progenitor. In the announcement, part of a broader set of renewals made by parent company NBCUniversal, the company called the show “its most-watched freshman series in nearly a decade.”
“The Valley” is led by former “Vanderpump Rules” stars Jax Taylor and his now-estranged wife Brittany Cartwright, along with Kristen Doute, all of whom were jettisoned from the mothership in 2020, after the show’s disastrous eighth season, when Doute’s and Taylor’s past misdeeds (of the racist kind) made them too toxic to employ.

Notorious reality bad boy Jax Taylor is back where he belongs. Four years after leaving Vanderpump Rules, Taylor is helming the new Bravo reality show The Valley, which premieres March 19.
“I thought I was going to have to dust off the cobwebs a little bit and get back into it,” Taylor says from his home in Los Angeles’ Valley Village neighborhood. “I wasn’t sure how I was going to navigate it now that I’m a husband, and I’m a father. But no, I just fell right back into it. Within five minutes, I was right back into it.”
The show, starring Taylor — once admittedly known for his hard-partying, cheating, lying, arrest-prone, manipulative ways — and his recently estranged sweet-as-Kentucky-pie wife, Brittany Cartwright, features many new players, including the location: the San Fernando Valley, where hip Hollywood folks have begrudgingly moved when it was time to grow up.

Taking a page out of the Vanderpump Rules producer handbook, cameras on The Valley began rolling again after Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright shared publicly that the married couple was taking time apart.
Production had wrapped on the Vpr spinoff series last year, but The Hollywood Reporter reported that the cameras fired back up to capture the fallout when, in late February, Cartwright announced on her and Taylor’s podcast that the parents to 2-year-old son Cruz were separating after four years of marriage.
“Yes, marriages in general are really hard, and I’ve had a particularly rough year in mine this past year. Jax and I are taking time apart, and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health,” she said, reading from a prepared statement. “I won’t get into too many details right now, because...

There's more to Miss Universe than flubbed notecards and confused contestants - two former competitors teamed up to create Universal Confidence, a series of workshops to help young girls dealing with low self-esteem. It's a topic Tegan Martin, Miss Australia, and Nia Sanchez, Miss USA, understand personally. Though both made it to the Miss Universe finals in 2014, they grew up feeling uncomfortable in their skin. "I had a difficult time in school," Martin, 23, tells Australia's Newcastle Herald. "I most certainly didn't have model looks, and I was tangled up in a very draining group of friends in year seven to eight.

New York Fashion Week is a magical time of fancy clothes and faces that simply refuse to smile. Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Rbf: resting bitchface, the condition that afflicts men and women worldwide. Here are just a few of Fashion Week’s finest RBFs.
At Malan Breton, Miss Teen USA K. Lee Graham and Miss USA 2014 Nia Sanchez, as well as two people in round sunglasses (one of whom might be Hollywood Montrose from Mannequin), are competing for most bored Rbf. Everyone is a winner.
Allison Williams is pleased as punch at Michael Kors. But Kate Hudson is less than impressed, and her phone is the lucky recipient of some serious Rbf.
Lindsay Ellington and Alexandra Richards attended Sophie Theallet. Ellington is delighted. Richards looks like this in every picture, which is to say Rbf on fleek.

A new Miss Universe has been crowned. Contestants from over 80 countries competed in the pageant on Sunday, with 22-year-old Paulina Vega of Colombia coming out on top. The stunning contestant beat out Miss USA Nia Sanchez, who was named first runner-up. Paulina is currently a student majoring in business administration and is relatively new to pageants. Her win continues the legacy of Latina women earning the crown, as the winner of last year's pageant, Gabriela Isler, is from Venezuela. Although this year's pageant was not without controversy - Miss Israel was criticized when she shared a photo with Miss Lebanon - Sunday's pageant in Miami went off without a hitch.
