Vanderpump Rules

BravoCon 2023 is in full swing, and soon -- the cast of "Vanderpump Rules" will hit the stage to talk shop ... but don't expect to see Rachel Leviss, 'cause she never got a reach-out.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ the beleaguered reality star -- who was at the center of Scandoval last season -- was not approached by Bravo brass to attend their convention in Vegas this weekend ... which seems to just further cement her future with the franchise.

We're told not only was RL not invited ... but that she still isn't on speaking terms with any of the current cast members -- including her old flame, Tom Sandoval ... who is attending.

There's been a lot of speculation on Rachel's future involvement with 'Vanderpump' post-Scandoval -- but remember ... Rachel passed on returning for the current season -- which, BTW, is going to premiere in January ... something that was just announced in Sin City.

With no Rachel in the foreseeable future ... it's probably safe to assume that she's over it, 'cause it wouldn't make much sense for her to come back next season to address it all -- people will have almost certainly moved on by then, and the thunder will be long gone.

Her absence from BravoCon also appears to line up with how she's been operating since stepping away from cameras to deal with her mental health ... and from what we can tell, Rachel's turning the page to a new chapter in her life, one that's out of the spotlight.

Rachel's been laying low in Arizona for a while now ... whereas the other 'VP' folks have been very much doing their jobs in L.A. -- including Tom, who's been out and about a lot.

Speaking of him ... he actually dished on how he was feeling ahead of BravoCon this past week, and as you can imagine -- the dude's nervous to share the stage with Ariana Madix.

Tom Sandoval is only hours away from taking the stage with his ex Ariana Madix at BravoCon 2023 ... months after the fallout from his affair with costar Rachel Leviss dominated headlines.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star got candid about this weekend's upcoming Vegas convention -- already (rightfully) predicting a hostile reception from fans who would show their loyalty to #TeamAriana.

Speaking to his pal and costar Tom Schwartz on his ironically-named podcast "Everybody Loves Tom," he added that he was feeling nervous about the impending event.

The former couple's reunion will undoubtedly be awkward ... not just for the exes but for their Bravo costars Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, Katie Maloney and James Kennedy, who'll join them onstage for their scheduled panel on Friday.

Tom's affair was one of the biggest celebrity controversies of the year ... dubbed #Scandoval by horrified 'VR' fans after TMZ first broke the story.

Even Rachel -- who initially appeared to stand beside Tom during the repercussions -- has finally seen the light of day and walked away from him.

She recently sold a necklace and some sweatshirts with connections to the Sandoval, and will not appear on the next season of the show ... stepping away to focus on her mental health.

Rachel Leviss is ridding herself of every memory of Tom Sandoval ... she just sold off a necklace and some sweatshirts with connections to the Scandoval.

The former "Vanderpump Rules" sold her lightning bolt necklace on eBay for $5,300 after an all-out bidding war erupted ... there were 131 offers for the piece of reality TV history.

Remember ... Rachel bought the 14K gold necklace to match one Tom wore on the show and it ended up being a clue to their infamous affair.

In her eBay listing, Rachel noted the jewelry was "symbolic of my devotion to another person who I allowed to have power over me. He no longer does."

Rachel also cut ties with a pair of hoodies from Tom's restaurant, TomTom ... they received 122 bids and sold for $9,500.

She says she wore one of the sweatshirts to BravoCon 2022 before we broke the story of her affair with Tom ... and she later gave the hoodie to Andy Cohen the night "everything blew up in my face."

Rachel says she's donating the proceeds to the National Alliance of Mental Illness ... a non-profit offering education programs for folks affected by mental illness.

Jamie Foxx estaba de humor para un poco de susto este fin de semana, ya que lo vimos recorriendo el parque temático de Universal Studios, en donde se encontró con sus fans y también con algunos monstruos.

El actor pasó por Halloween Horror Nights el domingo. En la foto lo vemos posando de pie alrededor de un grupo de actores disfrazados, que parecían más impresionados que asustados. Eso podría tener que ver con la postura de Jamie aquí, ¡en modo malote!

En efecto, Jamie marcó la pauta y el equipo de Halloween Horror Nights le siguió el juego, al parecer, algo muy diferente al modo en que la mayoría de los huéspedes son tratados cuando entran en estos espeluznantes terrenos. Por lo general, los visitantes son quienes son aterrorizados por los empleados, y las celebridades no están exentas de aquello.

Por cierto, Jamie no fue la única cara famosa que disfrutó de la velada. Otras estrellas como Ariana Madix de "Vanderpump" asistieron con algunos amigos, al igual que la ex estrella de "Euphoria", Barbie Ferreriera, y la gran Nicole Richie. Todos recibieron un tratamiento VIP.

Es probable que veamos muchas más celebridades en las próximas semanas. Halloween Horror Nights es una tradición de otoño en el sur de California y eso va para la élite de Hollywood también.

Ahora, está por verse si todos pueden conseguir una foto tan impresionante foto como esta...

Jamie Foxx was in the mood for some late-night scares this weekend -- hitting up Universal Studios' creepy theme park after hours ... finding both fans and monsters.

The actor swung by Halloween Horror Nights Sunday, posing for a cool pic while standing around a bunch of the costumed actors, who seemed more star-struck than they did frightful. That might have to do with Jamie's stance here ... full-on bad ass mode!

Indeed, JF set the tone ... and the HHN crew followed, it seems. That's pretty different than how most guests get treated when they enter the spooky grounds -- usually, folks get followed around and terrorized by the employees ... and celebs aren't exempt.

BTW, Jamie wasn't the only famous face who was enjoying the evening ... other stars like Ariana Madix of 'Vanderpump' fame were in attendance with some pals, as was former "Euphoria" star Barbie Ferreriera and the great Nicole Richie. They all seemed to get the VIP treatment.

We'll probably see a lot more A-listers drop in over the next few weeks -- Halloween Horror Nights is a fall time tradition here in SoCal ... and that goes for Hollywood's elite too.

Now, whether they all get an awesome photo-op like this, though, remains to be seen.

Tom Sandoval le mostró sus pasos prohibidos en la pista de baile a una misteriosa mujer en un bar de Tennessee. Al parecer funcionó ya que se fueron juntos.

TMZ obtuvo un video de la estrella de "Vanderpump Rules" en la pista de baile con una morena misteriosa.

La gente que estuvo allí nos dijo que Tom estaba en el Whiskey Row de Dierks Bentley en Nashville, donde Tom se acercó por primera vez a la mujer mientras bailaba con sus amigos.

Nos informaron que la mujer parecía dudar al principio, pero luego empezó a bailar con Tom. Poco a poco se acercaron el uno al otro y estuvieron así durante unos 30 minutos.

Como se puede ver en el video, el baile es un poco incómodo al principio, ya que no pueden ponerse de acuerdo en como es que se debe girar con la pareja.

Suena como que pueden haber congeniado sin embargo ... porque se nos dice Tom y la mujer terminó dejando el bar juntos.

La última vez que vimos a Tom fue a principios de septiembre, cuando salía de un bar en West Hollywood con la cantante y compositora Tii tomados de la mano y entrelazando los dedos mientras volvían a su casa.

Here's Tom Sandoval putting the moves on a woman he took an interest in at a Tennessee bar ... dancing with her before leaving together.

TMZ obtained video of the "Vanderpump Rules" star hitting the dance floor with a mystery brunette ... and it looks like there were sparks.

Folks who were there tell us Tom was at Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row in Nashville, where Tom first approached the woman as she was dancing with her friends.

We're told the woman seemed hesitant at first, but then she started dancing with Tom ... and they started warming up to one another and things got wilder and wilder as they danced for about 30 minutes.

As you see in the video, it's a little awkward at first as they try and feel each other out ... with Tom trying to get her to twirl.

Sounds like they may have hit it off though ... because we're told Tom and the woman ended up leaving together. We don't know where they went.

The last time we saw Tom out was in early September when he was leaving a bar in West Hollywood with singer-songwriter Tii ... holding hands and interlocking fingers as they went back to his place.

No word about how things worked out with Tom and Tii ... but he's not known as a one-woman man.

Do you think Tom Sandoval will announce a new relationship in the next 6 months? Vote below.

Tom Sandoval dice que estuvo a punto de quitarse la vida durante las secuelas de su romance con Rachel Leviss.

La estrella de "Vanderpump Rules" dice que hubo momentos durante el "Scandoval" cuando "se sentía muy, muy cerca" de suicidarse.

Tom hizo la revelación el jueves durante el primer episodio de su pódcast, "Todo el mundo ama a Tom". Dice que le resaca que sintió al terminar la relación lo puso en un lugar oscuro que generó un efecto dominó que lo llevó al borde del suicidio.

Después de "Scandoval", Tom dice que su mundo empezó a derrumbarse y que no podía ver más allá de sus sentimientos. Dice que las cosas llegaron a un punto crítico un día que regresó a la casa que comparte con su ex, Ariana Madix.

Tom también recuerda una historia sobre encontrarse con el fallecido cantante de Linkin Park, Chester Bennington, unos días antes de que se suicidara en julio de 2017. Tom dijo que nunca entendió cómo Chester podría estar en ese estado de ánimo hasta que se encontró en medio del "Scandoval".

Afortunadamente, Tom dice que tuvo algunos amigos que estuvieron ahí para él a pesar de todo el drama, y él les está dando las gracias por básicamente salvar su vida.

Recordemos que Rachel también tuvo que lidiar con sus propios problemas de salud mental causados por la misma razón. Incluso tuvo que pasar unos meses en un centro de salud mental.

Rachel terminó dejando el programa, pero Tom estuvo de vuelta filmando la temporada más reciente y será interesante ver si habló de sus pensamientos suicidas en cámara o si se lo guardó todo para su pódcast.

Tom Sandoval says he was close to taking his own life during the aftermath of his affair with Rachel Leviss.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star says there were times during the Scandoval when he "felt very, very close" to committing suicide.

Tom makes the sobering revelation Thursday in the first episode of his podcast, "Everybody Loves Tom," and says the backlash from the affair put him in a bad headspace that had a domino effect that brought him to the brink of suicide.

Following Scandoval, Tom says his world started collapsing and he couldn't see outside his feelings. He says things reached a head one day when he got back to the home he shares with his ex, Ariana Madix.

Tom also recalls a story about running into late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington a few days before he committed suicide in July 2017 ... with Tom saying he never understood how Chester could be in that frame of mind until he found himself in the middle of the Scandoval.

Thankfully, Tom says he had a few friends who were there for him despite all the drama ... and he's giving them props for basically saving his life.

Remember ... Rachel also dealt with mental health issues over the bombshell affair, spending a few months in a mental health facility.

Rachel ended up quitting 'VPR' but Tom was back filming the most recent season ... and it will be interesting to see if he talked about his suicidal thoughts on camera or if he just saved it for his podcast.

Before this serious kid with curly hair turned into a famous model and food-lover, she was just ringing up customers at the surf shop, living the SoCal life in Huntington Beach and getting her modeling career started at 18 years old.

This "legend" of a lady's career took off -- after holding a briefcase on the show "Deal Or No Deal" -- and in 2010 she landed on the cover as Sports Illustrated's "Rookie Of The Year." When she's not tending to her family of 6, you can find her and her famous hubby watching 'Housewives' and 'VPR.'

Tom Sandoval is a good dude who did a bad thing, but deserves a second chance -- so says another guy well-versed in reality TV romance ... Mr. Tyler Cameron.

We got the 'Bachelorette' alum Tuesday in L.A., and since he's fresh off hanging with Tom on FOX's "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test" ... we asked about Sandoval's chances of rekindling with his 'Vanderpump' costar Rachel Leviss.

If ya missed it, Tom wished Rachel happy birthday on social media, only for her to block him with quickness.

Ty says getting blocked is never a good sign for reconciliation -- speaking from personal experience -- so on the prospect of TS and RL getting back together ... he's not hopeful.

Now, on the issue of Tom's character ... Tyler says he actually thinks the guy's got a good heart. The fellas got to know each other not too long ago while competing on the FOX reality show.

Tyler explains to us what he learned about Tom while shooting the show, and it's pretty illuminating. Sounds like Tyler believes Tom should be shown some grace.

Lastly, Tyler offers some relationship advice and it's simple, yet effective. One gal at a time is the takeaway here -- and based on what we've seen from Tom these past couple days ... it appears he's already putting TC's tips to good use.

Tom Sandoval and Rachel Leviss are still in touch -- at least in one direction -- 'cause one of them is wishing the other a happy birthday ... even though they seem to be miles apart.

Rachel posted a video Sunday showing off where she's been hanging out lately, and it looks lovely -- a beautiful farm setting with a garden of flowers all around, which she's enjoying to the max. Her caption was, "I've been dreaming of a place like this."

While the clip went up 2 days ago, TS just commented on it Tuesday ... which is Rachel's 29th birthday. He wrote, "Happy Birthday Rachel, I really hope ur finding peace and happiness. Miss u friend."

Rachel hasn't responded ... but a lot of other people have, and most of the reactions to his unprompted shout-out aren't great. As you might imagine, folks are telling Tom to buzz off.

Seems the wounds of the cheating scandal are still fresh for many fans ... even though most of the '"Vanderpump Rules" cast is already moving on -- as cameras have been rolling for a new season, sans Rachel.

Remember ... she stepped away to deal with her mental health in the aftermath of the combative reunion, and at this point -- there's no indication she plans on coming back to L.A., at least for the time being anyway.

Meanwhile, Ariana Madix has a new man ... and Tom appears to be linked to a new flame.

And yet, he still has Rachel on the brain -- despite all they've been through.

Tom Sandoval parece tener un nuevo amor: este lunes se lo vio guiando a una mujer muy bonita de vuelta a su departamento para poner fin a otro fin de semana fuera de casa.

La estrella de "Vanderpump Rules" fue fotografiado la madrugada del lunes, un poco antes de las 2 AM, llevando a la cantante y compositora Tii a su apartamento después de haber salido juntos de un bar en West Hollywood.

Sí, él la llevaba de la mano, con los dedos entrelazados, mientras paseaban.

Lo que es interesante es que hace apenas un mes, Tom negó que Tii fuera algo más que una amiga. Se los había visto saliendo juntos últimamente, y cuando se le preguntó a Tom al respecto, negó cualquier romance.

Ahora parece que el gato está saliendo de la bolsa. Los amigos no se vinculan de esta manera, menos aún en la noche. Ahora, en cuanto a quién es ella exactamente, como hemos dicho, Tii incursiona en la música, por lo que tienen eso en común de buenas a primeras. Se dice que Tom conoció a Tii a través de una amiga común, Billie Lee.

De cualquier forma, esto es una prueba más de que todo el mundo está dando vuelta la página después de todo el asunto del engaño a principios de este año. Las consecuencias duraron un buen tiempo, pero todos los involucrados están dándolo por superado.

Tom Sandoval looks to have a new flame -- 'cause he was guiding a PYT back to his pad to cap off another weekend where he was out and about.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star was photographed early Monday morning, a little before 2 AM, leading singer-songwriter Tii to his apartment after they'd left a bar together in West Hollywood.

Yes, he was indeed holding her hand -- with fingers interlocked, mind you -- as they strolled along.

What's interesting ... Tom, just a month ago, denied Tii was anything but a pal. They'd been spotted hanging out lately, and when asked about it, he denied any romance.

Now, it seems the cat is out of the bag ... friends don't link up like this, especially on the late night. Now, as for who exactly she is -- like we said, she dabbles in music, so they have that in common right off the bat. Tom reportedly met Tii through mutual buddy, Billie Lee.

Anyway, just more evidence everyone's turning the page after the whole cheating thing earlier this year. The fallout lasted for a good while, but everybody involved is moving on.

Tom Sandoval got in the middle of a tug-of-war during the wrap party for "Vanderpump Rules" season 11, after a man hurled a glass of wine at a security guard.

The man -- not sure who he is -- just launched as he hijacked the party. After throwing the wine, the dude picked up a chair. You see Tom run into frame trying to calm things down, as another security guard restrains the guy by grabbing his arms. An aggressive tug-of-war then begins.

The TikToker who shot the video says the dude is not a cast member and was not going after Tom. The TikToker said, “We were just sitting at a table and this random guy came and he grabbed the centerpiece [of a] flower vase [and] chucked it at the security guard.”

Metallica is in town -- performing in the City of Angels -- and Hollywood's biggest stars made sure they were front and center to catch the all action ... including a rowdy Jason Momoa.

The legendary rock band stopped off in Los Angeles Friday night for one of two concerts they're doing here at SoFi Stadium -- with Pantera and Mammoth WVH opening -- and it looks like JM wanted to be among the people as they head-banged and jumped for dear life.

Watch ... there's footage circulating showing Jason in a mosh pit as Pantera was performing, and the dude was thrashing around with all the normie fans who scored good tickets.

As you can imagine, it was a pretty surreal scene -- but the dude's super down to earth, and he was certainly being embraced by the metal-head Angelenos ... perhaps even being bumped into a bit! He's a big guy, so he can hold his own.

Jason was far from the only famous face on the scene there at SoFi -- TONS of other celebs attended ... and they were all trotted out in none other than Pantera drummer Charlie Benante's IG, where he posted a lot of photos with stars who made their way backstage.

Among the A-listers who were craving rock and roll and feeling snap-happy ... John Travolta, Tom Sandoval, Adria Arjona, John 5, Tommy Lee and others. JM was in the mix too.

It's cool to see so many celebs coming out for an older group like Metallica ... these days, it feels like folks will only pack a stadium for the likes of Taylor Swift, Drake or Harry Styles -- but this just goes to show, there's still a lot of fandom for the great acts of the 20th century.

Like we said, Metallica's got another concert on Sunday ... we'll see who shows out for that.
