Vanderpump Rules

Tom Sandoval tiene una nueva mujer en su vida y es una modelo que fue vinculada a Leonardo DiCaprio cuando era más joven.

Fuentes cercanas a la estrella de "Vanderpump Rules" le dicen a TMZ que Tom está saliendo oficialmente con Victoria Lee Robinson durante un mes más o menos.

También nos dicen que están disfrutando de su tiempo juntos y se lo están tomando con calma. Básicamente no es nada realmente serio, pero se están dando la oportunidad de que así sea.

Tom ha presentado Victoria en sus historias de Instagram un par de veces, incluyendo la noche del miércoles, cuando publicó un video y una foto de ellos en el Schwartz y Sandy coctel salon y restaurante en Los Ángeles.

En diciembre, Tom y Victoria fueron a un festival de comida en Los Ángeles, pero nos informan que fueron solo como amigos. Desde entonces, un romance ha florecido claramente.

Victoria es una modelo de moda de alta costura y ha trabajado con Ford Modeling Agency.

Al igual que muchas grandes modelos en este negocio, ella tiene una historia con Leonardo DiCaprio. Fueron vinculados en el verano de 2016 cuando fueron fotografiados saliendo de una fiesta posterior a la gira de Justin Bieber en Nueva York, cuando ella tenía 23 años. Sí, justo en el terreno de Leo.

Ahora está con Tom, quien parece haber dejado el Scandoval en el pasado.

Hemos visto a Tom salir de bares con mujeres al azar un par de veces el año pasado -en Missouri y Tennessee- y en septiembre, negó un romance rumoreado con el cantante y compositor Tii.

Con Tom de vuelta en Hollywood y su reality show comenzando una nueva temporada en televisión - que ha dejado atrás el Medio Oeste, por ahora, y vinculado con una modelo de la Costa Oeste. ¡Buen movimiento!

Tom Sandoval has a new woman in his life ... and it's a model who was linked to Leonardo DiCaprio when she was younger.

Sources close to the "Vanderpump Rules" star tell TMZ ... Tom is officially dating Victoria Lee Robinson. We're told Tom and Victoria have been hanging out lately and have been officially dating for about a month or so.

We're also told they're enjoying their time together and seeing where things take them -- so it's not super serious, but it has potential to get there.

Tom's featured Victoria on his Instagram Story a few times recently ... including Wednesday night, when he posted a video and a photo of them at his Schwartz and Sandy's cocktail lounge and restaurant in Los Angeles.

Back in December, Tom and Victoria went to a food festival in L.A. together ... but word was they went as friends. Since then, a romance has clearly blossomed -- 'cause they're bangin'.

Anyhoo, in terms of who this gal is -- Victoria is actually a fashion model ... and she's worked with Ford Modeling Agency.

Like a lot of big-time models in this biz, she's got a history with Leonardo DiCaprio. They were linked back in the summer of 2016 when they were photographed leaving a Justin Bieber tour after-party in NYC, when she was 23. Yeah, right in Leo's wheelhouse.

Now, however, she's with Tom ... who has firmly put the Scandoval behind him.

We've seen Tom leaving bars with random women a few times last year -- in Missouri and Tennessee -- and in September, he denied a rumored fling with singer-songwriter Tii.

With Tom back in Hollywood, though -- and as his reality show starts a new season on TV -- he's left the Midwest behind for now, and linked up with a West Coast model. Good move!

Ariana Madix has a well-defined line in the sand, which Tom Schwartz crossed by supporting Tom Sandoval on TV -- and she let him know it with a very NSFW insult!

Here's the deal ... season 11 of "Vanderpump Rules" finally premiered last night after months of waiting, and the drama picked up right where it left off, focused on the "Scandoval."

Dismiss any thoughts of Ariana letting it go ... she still seems pissed about Sandoval cheating on her with Rachel Leviss -- because she told Scheana Shay she's now got Schwartz blocked on everything, and told him straight up, during the season 10 finale, they wouldn't have a relationship.

Well, as you might know, Schwartz went on 'Watch What Happens Live' a few weeks after the finale filming, and showed some love for the other Tom -- telling fans to give him a "hug" if they see him.

AM admits that pissed her off, and she texted Schwartz one last time before blocking him -- and, though, she claimed that final text wasn't "that bad" ... he has a different memory of it.

In fact, he has receipts -- in Tuesday night's premiere, Schwartz read the text on-air ... "It says, 'F*** you, I am blocking your number. Go choke on Sandoval’s dirty ass d*** some more.’"

Yeah. Not that bad. 😂

Schwartz has sorta straddled the line throughout the scandal -- apologizing to Ariana and condemning Sandoval's actions while still showing love for his close friend and business partner.

It's led to some current and former costars blasting him for not taking a harder stance, and for knowing about the affair and keeping quiet.

Rachel Leviss plans to keep tabs on the new season of "Vanderpump Rules" ... not 'cause she's a fan, but more so ... because she wants to see how they're gonna talk about her.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Rachel will, in fact, be tuning in to watch the season 11 premiere Tuesday night -- not just that, but we're told she'll actually keep up with the show as it rolls along in the coming months without her.

We're told Rachel intends to use her iHeartRadio podcast, "Rachel Goes Rogue," as a platform to respond to how she is mentioned and portrayed on 'VPR' ... depending on what is said, and if she feels she needs to set the record straight.

Rachel's not alone here, BTW ... 'VPR' fans are very much interested in how Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix and the rest of the cast deal with her abrupt exit following the Scandoval, which went down at the end of last season.

Remember ... Rachel and Tom got dragged across the coals at the reunion. As part of the affair fallout, Rachel went off to a mental health facility in Arizona and ultimately decided to leave the Bravo reality show.

Now, while Rachel will be talking 'VPR' on her podcast from time to time, our sources are adamant it's NOT going to turn into some general, weekly recap of the world she left behind.

Fact is ... Rachel's podcast is doing very well on its own already, so she doesn't need 'Vanderpump' to keep it relevant. She will, however, chime in as she sees fit.

Rachel normally spends most of her time on the podcast talking about her mental health journey and the impact the show, its cast and the Scandoval had on her ... and we're told the reception has been strong and 'RGR' hovers around the top of various podcast rankings.

Tom Sandoval is ripping Ariana Madix for trying to force the sale of their shared house -- 'cause he says he's provided a reasonable alternative ... buying her out with a fair price.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star spilled a little alleged tea about what he says is the real story about this house of theirs that Ariana wants to unload -- the same one they bought together, and where they lived for a long time before their nasty breakup last year.

TS went onto Nick Viall's podcast this week and told his side of the story -- basically, he claims Ariana is being petty ... insisting he's made a cash offer of $3.1 million to keep it for himself.

Tom explains that they purchased this house for significantly cheaper than what he's offering her right now -- so her turning it down, in his mind, is just her continuing to throw a fit about the affair. TS also claims she's hardly there and that she hasn't paid a single bill in months.

TMZ broke the story ... Ariana sued Tom earlier this month in an effort to force a sale of their home, which they bought together back in 2019 for around $2 million.

But now, Tom's firing back, saying ... she's doing the equivalent of flipping a Monopoly board when somebody's losing. That's exactly how he frames it ... likening her to a little girl pouting.

It's interesting ... Tom agrees with Nick here -- who says he can understand where Ariana is coming from, and why she would just want to sell the place without letting him have it.

With that said ... Tom thinks she's just being spiteful for spite's sake. Clearly, he wants this place on his own -- and his cash offer does sound pretty sweet.

Seems like they're both digging in their heels and gearing up for a big fight over the house.

"Vanderpump Rules" has cemented its status as reality TV royalty with its high-impact drama ... and by the looks of it, season 11 is set to be juicer than ever.

The show has brought in some A-list fans over the years -- such as Lady Gaga and Darren Criss who had a night out at Tom Sandoval & Tom Schwartz's bar TomTom they co-own with Lisa Vanderpump.

Even Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne had a date night at Lisa's recently-closed PUMP restaurant ... so let's take a quick look at others who've pumped their support into the reality star's restaurant franchise!

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend were another pair keeping the romance alive ... leaving the kiddos at home to recreate the kissing portrait at TomTom.

"Jersey Shore" stars Snooki and Deena Nicole Cortese partied the night away with one of the Toms at TomTom.

"Girl Meets World" star Ben Savage also met Tom at the bar ... the duo became quick friends, as evidenced by this smiling snap.

Point being here ... tons of stars have popped into Vanderpump-esque establishments -- and with the new season coming out today, it sounds like that'll continue for years to come.

Ariana Madix just hit the "Great White Way" in a big way ... making her Broadway debut in the revival of the legendary musical, "Chicago."

The "Vanderpump Rules" star strolled out on stage at the Ambassador Theatre in Manhattan Monday night, playing the role of sexy, blond-haired Roxie Hart in the Tony Award-winning play.

By all measures, Ariana's performance was a 10 on a scale of 10, receiving a standing O at the end of the show.

Check out the video ... Ariana took a bow with the rest of the cast at the foot of the stage. She then accepted a bouquet of flowers and addressed the audience, giving props to the "Chicago" orchestra. She left the stage after taking one more bow with "Chicago" actress, Amra Faye-Wright, who played Velma Kelly.

Two of her 'VPR' costars, Lala Kent and Scheana Shay, were right there in the crowd lending their support, along with Ariana's boyfriend Daniel Wai, and her mom, Tanya.

Former reality TV star Frank Herlihy was in his mid 20's when he was cast to be a part of 'Vanderpump Rules' -- Bravo's hit reality show, first airing in 2013, led by the one and only restaurateur and television personality Lisa Vanderpump.

Frank poured up Big Pinky's with some of television's most dramatic stars including Stassi Schroeder, Jax Taylor, Tom Sandoval, Scheana Shay, Kristen Doute and Katie Maloney.

Herlihy was fired from SUR during the show's first season after -- not only overcharging a customer -- but threatening to pull the customer's underwear over their head if they didn't walk away from him.

Frank Herlihy, ex estrella de la telerrealidad, tenía unos 20 años cuando fue elegido para formar parte de "Vanderpump Rules", el exitoso reality show de Bravo que se emitió por primera vez en 2013, dirigido por la única restauradora y personalidad de la televisión Lisa Vanderpump.

Frank participó en Big Pinky's con algunas de las estrellas más dramáticas de la televisión, como Stassi Schroeder, Jax Taylor, Tom Sandoval, Scheana Shay, Kristen Doute y Katie Maloney.

Herlihy fue despedido durante la primera temporada del programa, no solo porque cobró de más a un cliente, sino porque le amenazó con quitarle la ropa interior si no se alejaba de él.

Grinning from ear-to-ear in this altered image is a reality TV star who may or may not have found herself in the middle of lots of drama ... Put down your crispy chicken, pick up your boozy potion and see if you can guess who's heatin' up behind this smiley scramble.

She may not be seen on the upcoming season of "Vanderpump Rules" but this (former) waitress showed up for the Scandoval of it all and fans are thrilled to watch her TV comeback on Bravo's new show "The Valley."

Detrás de esta imagen alterada se puede encontrar a una estrella de los reality shows que puede o no puede haberse encontrado a sí misma en medio de un montón de drama. Deja el pollo crujiente, coge tu bebida favorita y a ver si adivinas quién está detrás de esta revuelta sonrisa.

Puede que no esté en la próxima temporada de "Vanderpump Rules", pero esta (ex) camarera apareció para el Scandoval y los fans están encantados de ver su regreso a la televisión en el nuevo programa de Bravo "The Valley."

Tom Sandoval está de vuelta y aparentemente mejor que nunca a medida que nos dirigimos a una nueva temporada de "Vanderpump Rules" ¡y hay que ver cómo sirve copas después del show!

La estrella de reality fue el centro de atención la noche del miércoles en su establecimiento en Hollywood, Schwartz & Sandy's, donde estaba haciendo de camarero para un montón de gente que pasó después del estreno de la temporada 11 de "VPR", donde Tom también estuvo presente.

Échale un vistazo a este video en el que se le puede ver sirviendo tragos al puro estilo Tom Cruise en "Cocktail". Nos recuerda a la forma en que se presentó en el Hollywood Palladium.

Tom se mostró sonriente y confiado, y lo más importante, la gente se dio cuenta de que llevaba otro collar de rayo... algo que lo puso en problemas el año pasado.

Usted recordará que este collar era la mitad de otro accesorio a juego que Rachel Leviss había estado usando antes de que su aventura fuera expuesta. De seguro sirve como recordatorio de que Tommy engañó a Ariana Madix... en fin, recuerdos de Scandoval.

Por eso es fascinante verle lucir una similar casi un año después con tanto orgullo. Aún más revelador el hecho de que testigos presenciales nos dicen Tom se le preguntó sobre el rayo y el hecho de que todavía lo llevaba ... todo lo que dijo fue "¡Yup!"

En cuanto al estreno en sí, fue un evento muy intenso que contó con todo el elenco. Sin duda estaban excitados de reunirse y mostrar lo que habían estado filmando los últimos meses.

De hecho, Scheana Shay bailó su canción, "Good as Gold", y también pudimos ver un clip. Y respecto al episodio —que se emitirá en una fecha posterior— mejor creer que Sandoval sigue estando en la mente de todos.

Tom Sandoval is back and apparently better than ever as we head into a new season of "Vanderpump Rules" -- just look at how this dude serving up drinks after the show!!!

The reality star was front and center Wednesday night at his establishment in Hollywood, Schwartz & Sandy's, where he was playing bartender for a bunch of people who swung by after the premiere for Season 11 of 'VPR' ... where Tom was also in attendance.

Check out this video we got of him slinging drinks and feeling himself -- he's got that Tom Cruise 'Cocktail' vibe ... which echoes how he presented himself at the Hollywood Palladium.

Tom was flashing smiles and posing confidently -- and more importantly ... folks noticed he was rocking another lightning bolt necklace, which got him in hot water last year.

You'll recall ... this style of necklace was one half of another matching accessory that Rachel Leviss had been wearing before their affair was exposed ... so it serves as a bit of an in-your-face reminder that Tommy boy cheated on Ariana Madix -- a relic of Scandoval.

That's why it's fascinating to see him rock a similar one almost a whole year later so proudly. Even more eye-opening ... the fact that eyewitnesses tell us Tom was asked about the lightning bolt and the fact he was still wearing it ... all he said was "Yup!"

As for the premiere itself ... it was a buzzy event that featured the whole cast, who certainly seemed to be giddy to get together and show off what they'd been filming in recent months.

In fact, Scheana Shay busted a move to her song, "Good as Gold," and we got a clip too. And in terms of the actual episode -- which will air at a later date -- best believe Sandoval is still top of mind for everyone ... although, he himself doesn't show 'til the very end.

New legal fallout from 'Scandoval' -- Ariana Madix is suing Tom Sandoval over the Los Angeles house they co-own, and still live in together.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star filed suit against her ex-bf in L.A. Superior Court ... and the docs make it clear they are at loggerheads over how to split up the house.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Ariana says she wants a "partition by sale" ... which means she wants a judge to order them to sell the house, and divide the proceeds.

What she doesn't want is a "division in kind." That would allow each of them to retain their ownership interest in the property ... and one of them could, theoretically, sell to a third party.

Translation: She just wants to sell the place, and have them both move on with their lives.

Back in better times, Tom and Ariana bought the San Fernando Valley home in 2019 for about $2 million.

Despite their relationship blowing up very publicly last year when she found out Tom was having an affair with Rachel Leviss ... they've both continued to live in the home together.

Tom Sandoval is getting some sweet revenge on a recently shut down L.A. bakery ... for selling "Sandoval's A Liar" and "Team Ariana" cakes following his Scandoval controversy last year.

News that L.A.'s Sweet Lady Jane bakery was closing down came as a real treat for Tom ... after his "Vanderpump Rules" costar Billie Lee tagged him in the comments of their sad IG announcement, writing "karma!?" with a laughing emoji.

Tom went all in ... commenting everything he'd tried from the bakery had been super dry ... suggesting that others had finally caught on ... leading to their dwindling sales and subsequent closure.

He added their attempts to make money selling cakes negatively using his name hurt his feelings and pushed him over the edge ... and for that, good riddance.

Tom appeared to be in the minority, though, as the bakery was clearly a Hollywood staple ... with Blake Lively commenting she was heartbroken and Chrissy Teigen and Sophia Bush also making their devastation known.

Even though the cake shop hurt his ego, it was probably the least of his concerns ... as he found himself in the biggest celebrity controversy of 2023.

It was tagged #Scandoval by 'VPR' fans when TMZ first broke the story in March ... he'd been cheating on longtime GF Ariana Madix with costar Rachel Leviss ...

Tom Sandoval's back in his all-too-familiar villain role ... he's under fire from fans and castmates for interacting with a captive tiger, and PETA is schooling him on why it's bad for big cats.

The animal rights organization fired off a letter to the "Vanderpump Rules" star after footage emerged showing him inside an animal enclosure at Tiger World Thailand, where a tiger put its massive front paws on Tom's shoulders.

In the letter, obtained by TMZ, PETA scolds Tom for the photo op ... explaining, "When popular folks like you pose with wild animals, people are moved to support pay-to-play animal experiences, for which big-cat cubs are torn away from their mothers prematurely and denied their freedom as well as anything remotely natural and important to them."

More specifically, PETA's also schooling Tom on tigers ... it says wild tigers avoid humans and are naturally solitary and reclusive, adding, "Any human interaction with big cats poses dangers for both humans and the felines, and captive big cats have attacked and killed their captors and visitors."

While Tom walked away from the visit physically unscathed ... he's taking heat online from fans and his 'VPR' cast members, Lala Kent and James Kennedy.
