Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards recently held a private black tie fundraiser at the home she shares with Mauricio Umansky to benefit the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital, and Bravo cameras were on hand to film the event for an episode that will air in the upcoming season. Guests included most of the RHOBH cast, as well as Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Kris Jenner. And, the world’s most famous momager was one of the first celebrity guests to make a donation.

Bravo contacted Dan and Laura Dotson – the auctioneers from the hit reality series Storage Wars – and asked them to be the celebrity auctioneers for the fundraiser. And, Jenner reportedly donated $25,000 – the largest donation of the night – to set the pace for the evening.

By the end of the night, Richards had raised more than $100,000 for the hospital. And, during the evening, guests enjoyed amazing food like salmon and steak, drank cocktails featuring SoCal rum, and listened to live music from Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, and Chynna Phillips – AKA 90s pop group Wilson Phillips.

In addition to Richards’ RHOBH co-stars and the KarJenner matriarch, Richards’ sisters Kathy Hilton and Kim Richards also attended, as well as Richards and Jenner’s good friend Faye Resnick.

Lisa Rinna reportedly donated $1,000, and Botched star Paul Nassif was also bidding on items. During the event, Richards told the crowd that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is a special hospital because not only does it have the best doctors, surgeons, and specialists, but they also care for every child regardless of their family’s ability to pay or their immigration status.

“Last Saturday my husband & I held a charity event at our home for @childrensla,” wrote Richards on Instagram. “It was such a special night. We all had so much fun while raising money for such an important cause. THANK YOU to everyone for coming out, being so generous and making the night a success 🙏❤️”

Richards and her cast mates – including newbies Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke – are currently filming new episodes, and Season 10 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will premiere on Bravo in the spring of 2020.

The fallout from a physical altercation with Monique Samuels is getting more serious for Candiace Dillard. It has been alleged that she has been dropped from Bravocon after Ashley Darby gave the network an ultimatum.

The first Bravocon event is scheduled to take place this weekend where lucky fans get to participate in all things Bravo. From meet and greets to a very special Watch What Happens Live — it’s a dream come true for Bravoholics.

Candiace was supposed to be one of three Real Housewives of Potomac castmates who are making an appearance at the convention but according to the website that lists the special guests, Mrs. Bassett is no longer expected.

A blog that follows what happens in the DMV area claims that Ashley Darby told Bravo that she would not show up if Candiace was coming due to her close friendship with Monique.

The Black Socialites blog shared: ‘According to my insider, RHOP’s EP & WWHL Host Andy Cohen has uninvited RHOP star Candiace Dillard Bassett from the 1st ever BRAVOCON. Bravocon is a 3 day event scheduled to take place in NYC November 15-17 featuring almost all of the #bravolebrities from all of the Bravo shows. Candiace has received major backlash from fans this weekend after filing a complaint against costar Monique Samuels for an altercation that happened between the 2 of them in October citing 2nd Degree Assault.’

The account went on to state: ‘It is also rumored that costar Ashley Darby put the pressure on Bravo by giving them an ultimatum, she or Candiance. Candiace threw a knife at Ashley last season on RHOP during an argument over dinner. RHOP, RHOA, and M2M are the only African American shows on the network and for that reason were scheduled to have at least 3 representatives from each show there at Bravocon. Now with Candiace being asked not to attend, RHOP is rumored to only have 2 reps there (Ashley & Gizelle).’

Fans have mainly sided with Monique during this drama. Anyone who watches the franchise is well aware that Candiace tends to ‘poke the bear’ in order to be a part of a storyline.

Many have already voiced that if Samuels gets the boot — they aren’t watching the show anymore.

According to a report from PageSix.com, Chris Tavarez, the Disney network alum, was apprehended by the authorities after he got into an altercation with a significant other earlier this week. Tavarez’s girlfriend wound up with a concussion.

Sources in the LAPD who spoke with Page Six reported that the 27-year-old KC Undercover alum was taken into the station on Monday evening in Hollywood, California. The outlet, TMZ, reported that Mr. Tavarez and his partner were fighting over the weekend and things turned violent.

Tavarez reportedly pushed her during the confrontation, which led to her hitting her head. When the police arrived at the location, Chris left the scene of the crime claims TMZ. Additionally, Tavarez’s girlfriend refused medical treatment, despite having visible marks on her body.

Sources close to her family later said she had suffered a concussion as a consequence of her tumble to the ground. Approximately two days later, the police slapped Tavarez with felony domestic violence and he was taken to the station, only to be later released on a bail of $100,000.

Representatives speaking on the actor’s behalf didn’t respond to request for comment from TMZ or Page Six. Born on the 7th of November, 1992, Christopher is based out of Atlanta, Georgia, and came to fame as an actor, athlete, and model.

According to the star’s Wikipedia page, he first started modeling as a child and scouts began pushing his parents to persuade their son to get into acting. The very first time he appeared on TV was for the series, Endurance, broadcasted by Discovery Kids.

It was during the 4th season where Chris made his first appearence. He was 12-years-old at the time. Later on, the talent agent who discovered the likes of Dakota Fanning, Lucas Till, and Kyle Massey, Joy Pervis, found Chris and hooked him up with various jobs including in film, television, and print.

He has also appeared in productions such as Big Momma’s House 2, as well as on Meet The Browns created by Tyler Perry. However, it wasn’t until his lead role in Avalon High where he started to experience a significant break.
