Reality check! Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute won’t be returning for another season of Vanderpump Rules. On June 9, Bravo announced that it was cutting ties with the longtime cast members, as well as newcomers Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni, due to their past racially insensitive actions and remarks.

Kobe Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, is seeking extensive damages in a wrongful death lawsuit against Island Express Helicopters after losing the 41-year-old Lakers legend and their 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, in a helicopter crash back in January. An attorney for the 38-year-old widow alleges that the pilot, who also perished in the accident, “failed to abort the flight when he knew of the cloudy conditions,” and claims in new court docs that the NBA star’s future earnings would have equaled “hundreds of millions of dollars.” “Vanessa knows she’ll never get closure, but she does want justice,” says an insider. “Deep down, Vanessa knows that if the company had advised Kobe not to travel, he and Gianna would still be here.”…
