Andy Cohen Reveals Vanderpump Rules Was Almost Named *This* Shocking Title
Andy Cohen spilled all the tea for the first time on the other title used for Vanderpump Rules while filming Season 1.
It’s hard to imagine hearing the familiar chords and lyrics “just raise your glasses high, this one’s for you tonight” without thinking of anything but the iconic Vanderpump Rules intro and theme song. But now Andy Cohen has revealed that the show was shockingly almost known by an entirely different title.
“Hey, here’s a production secret fans don’t know,” Andy teased during the Vanderpump Rules Season 12 special on Nov. 25. “The title Vanderpump Rules wasn’t chosen until after filming for Season 1 had wrapped.”
What exactly did Lisa Vanderpump and her crew of young, dramatic, beautiful SUR-vers call the show before it became its signature title in 2013?
“An alternate title that the crew loved was
Although Lisa and her staff, including original cast members Tom Sandoval, Katie Maloney, and Scheana Shay, had an amazing 11 season run, it was announced in November 2024 that Season 12 would be a new chapter, with a cast of "close-knit SUR-vers who are as complicatedly involved with one another as their iconic predecessors."
"The last 12 years of filming have been an extraordinary run full of laughter, tears and everything in between,” Lisa said at the time in a statement. “I can’t thank enough those who have shared their lives. How I love you all. In the restaurant business, one shift always gives way to another. Cheers to the next generation of

“Well, I put something out on social media to talk about how I love them all, and I do love them all, regardless of their antics and their foibles,” Lisa shared. “There’s a deep love there, but just because what we’ve been through together and seeing them at such a young age, even though they’ve been very frustrating at times, for sure, and they’ve made mistakes, but it was predictable,” she said of their individual reactions.
“Of course, Schwartz straight away called me and said, ‘I just want to thank you for all the opportunities you’ve given me,’” Lisa added as she named names. And James [Kennedy], too,” Lisa said. “Lala, yeah, I’ve always been very close to her.”
Lisa also revealed that she hadn’t heard from Katie, although her Something About Her sandwich shop partner Ariana Madix “texted” or “tweeted” or “something.”
“Katie, I didn’t hear from, but you know, as I say, that doesn’t really surprise me,” she admitted.
When does Vanderpump Rules Season 12 premiere?
Vanderpump Rules Season 12 will premiere on Bravo on Tuesday, Dec. 2 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.

RHOA’s Phaedra Parks Unleashes a Jaw-Dropping Tour of Her $3.7 Million “Fortress” — And Fans Are Losing Their Minds
When Phaedra Parks says she’s living lavishly, she means it — and her jaw-dropping, 3.7-million-dollar Atlanta estate is now officially the most talked-about piece of real-estate eye candy in the entire Housewives universe. The RHOA icon just opened the gates — literally — giving fans a rare, no-holds-barred tour of the sprawling Buckhead property she proudly calls “my fortress.” And let’s be clear: this fortress is nothing short of a shock to the senses.
Parks’ home sits like a luxury cathedral on nearly 10,000 square feet of pure opulence, featuring six massive bedrooms, ten sprawling bathrooms, and architectural details so extra they could make even the most seasoned celebrity home collector clutch their pearls. Purchased back in 2016 for a modest (well, modest by RHOA standards) $1.9 million, the estate has skyrocketed in value, now estimated at a staggering $3.7 million — and once you see the inside, you’ll understand why.
The moment the tour begins, you’re hit with the estate’s dramatic gated entrance, which sets the tone for everything that follows: bold, lush, and unmistakably Phaedra. Beyond the gate lies a maze of manicured greenery, chic outdoor living areas, and a fully equipped guest carriage house — because apparently a standard guest room simply isn’t worthy of Phaedra’s inner circle. But the real outdoor showstopper is what Parks proudly calls her “Versace patio,” a head-turning, gold-kissed sanctuary that screams couture summer nights and unforgettable Housewives-level shade sessions.
Step inside, and the vibe instantly shifts into something even more unexpected: a sleek, steampunk-inspired interior that feels like an elegant time machine fused with an Italian villa. The décor is an intoxicating blend of marble, stainless steel, intricate lighting, and lavish metallic accents, creating a cinematic, almost theatrical backdrop for Phaedra’s everyday life.
The home’s main level is anchored by a custom-designed kitchen that looks ripped straight from the pages of a luxury Italian architecture magazine. With glossy finishes, polished surfaces, and subtle stone textures, the space is both shockingly modern and timeless — a perfect combination for a Housewife who built her brand on blending beauty, brains, and off-the-charts flair.
But what truly sends fans spiraling is Phaedra’s revelation that the estate features multiple master suites — yes, plural. Each suite offers its own distinct flavor of extravagance, from spa-style bathrooms to oversized walk-in dressing areas designed for a queen. Parks describes these chambers as her “power rooms,” and honestly, it’s not hard to see why. Every corner of the home feels engineered for a woman who rules her empire with precision and personality.
As the tour concludes, viewers are left stunned — not just by the scale and glamour of the property, but by the unapologetic boldness of Phaedra Parks herself. This isn’t just a home. It’s a full-blown palace of personality, crafted by a woman who refuses to play small.
Love her or not, one thing is undeniable: Phaedra Parks’ Buckhead fortress is a showstopper, a conversation-starter, and possibly the most unforgettable home tour in Real Housewives history.
