VANDERPUMP RULES STARS: NOT AS CLOSE AS THEY USED TO BE

These days there’s more drama offscreen than onscreen for reality costars, Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney. After countless delays, the gals opened up their West Hollywood sandwich shop, Something About Her, but no sooner was the first customer served than Ariana flew to Bali to host Love Island, leaving Katie behind to deal with the grunt work. As we previously reported, Ariana isn’t sure she wants to stay in the restaurant business as her Hollywood career has taken off. Now get this scoop – Katie has offered to buy Ariana’s shares out and team up with her cheating ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval! According to my Vanderpump Rules source, Katie is livid that Ariana has pretty much all but abandoned her and teaming up with Tom is her way to get revenge.

ARIANA MADIX: BEING JILTED PAYS OFF

We could live quite happily without reality TV, but lately one cannot avoid hearing about the drama on Vanderpump Rules. For those who watch, here’s another juicy tidbit: Costars, Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney have grown even CLOSER since Ariana’s beau, Tom Sandoval cheated on her with their other costar Raquel Leviss. Fans of the show will know they’re close to opening their West Hollywood cafe, Something About Her. A Bravo insider reveals that their once solid friendship has now hit a hiccup – over MONEY. Ariana is raking in the dough since the scandal, with our source estimating she’s pocketed close to $1 million in endorsement deals in the past few months, while her BFF Katie hasn’t earned one cent. The insider says that Katie was hoping to get a cut of the pie, especially since they’re pooling their resources to open their restaurant, and it’s caused a rift in their friendship. As the source explains, Katie assumed Ariana would find a way to include her in some of her money-making new opportunities, but so far she’s been left out in the cold.
