Are you a fan of The Real Housewives shows? Well, Andy Cohen has spoken out about the rumors suggesting there will be a new spin off (or two) of the successful franchise in New Orleans or in Las Vegas.
The Real Housewives is a popular reality television franchise Executive Produced by Andy Cohen that began on March 21, in 2006 with The Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC). The reality tv series is primarily broadcast on Bravo TV, and on Peacock.

According to ET Canada "The Real Housewives franchise isn’t growing more just yet. On SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live” this week, the host shut down rumors about “Real Housewives” getting spin-offs in Las Vegas and New Orleans. "People are really excited about BravoCon in Vegas getting so many questions about it. And I just wanna nip something in the bud right now because there is a rumor that is building online that I need to address so that we can move on,” Cohen said. “I know how this is gonna go. It’s going to, it’s gonna blossom and fester and snowball.” He continued, “There is a train of thought that, of thinking we will be announcing at BravoCon in Vegas, the ‘Real Housewives of Las Vegas’. And I am here to tell you, we are not, no, just we are not. There is no ‘Housewives of Vegas’. We are not announcing a ‘Housewives of Vegas’. So just stand down. That’s not happening. So I just want to, so we can all move on and move forward. Okay. That’s not happening.” And in case anyone was thinking the Vegas denial left room open for a New Orleans show, Cohen shut that down as well. “I don’t think so. I mean, I think we’re good,” he said, when asked about a NOLA spin-off.

“We’re not developing any, there was just a rumor about ‘Real Housewives of New Orleans’ and I happen to know that there is a production company who we work with all the time, who was just casting women in New Orleans to see if there was a show to be done in New Orleans.” Cohen explained, “I think they are pitching it to Bravo. This wasn’t Bravo seeking out. A lot of times people will start DMing me saying, ‘I know you’re doing Scottsdale. I want to be on the casting,’ whatever. I’m like, sometimes there are production companies that are just fishing around, not even at the behest of Bravo."

Sadly, for the moment, it sounds like there will be no expansion of the franchise in Vegas or NOLA.

Where To Get The Best Homemade Apple Cider in Connecticut

Where can you get the freshest homemade Apple Cider in Connecticut? There are, of course, several to choose from in the Nutmeg State. I have found four Apple Orchards/Cider Mills that truly stand out and that you may want to try. First on the list is a place that is known for their super delicious apple cider and seasonal apple picking in the Fall. So many people have raved about BEARDSLEY'S Cider Mill & Orchard, located at 278 Leavenworth Road in Shelton, Connecticut. They have been making homemade apple cider since 1849. They are having a Pick-Your-Own (PYO) apples starting on Sunday, September 10th. It opens at 10am (if it's not raining) and they will be picking Gala and MacIntosh apples. Pick your own apples is on WEEKENDS only, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. "Did you know that it takes approximately 25 average size apples to make 1 gallon of cider? Our cider is 100% pure juice. We make it from sound, ripe apples that may have blemishes or are too small for selling by the bag. All cider apples are washed and scrubbed at least once, and most are washed twice before being ground and pressed. Our press is a state-of-the-art system with built-in high pressure washers to keep it clean and sanitary. At the end of each day of pressing we completely wash down the mill and sanitize the entire room. This is one of the reasons we think our cider tastes better. Our White Hills Distillery spirits are now available in our Cider Mill Farm Store!"
