The Valley 's Janet Caperna Details Working for Cameron Diaz
Originally appeared on E! Online
Janet Caperna is giving the merlot-down on working for Cameron Diaz.
The Valley star recently revealed that she was an assistant at the actress' wine company prior to her own rise to reality TV fame.
'I worked for Avaline, which is Cameron Diaz and Katherine Power's wine brand,' Janet said on the May 29 episode of the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast. "That was a job I loved."
She added, "I still am obsessed with the wine."
During her time as a Hollywood assistant, she even met Zack Wickham, who worked as Nicole Scherzinger's assistant and later became her costar on The Valley.
As Janet put it, "The assistants are kind of a small group in L.A."
But despite their shared jobs as assistants, the pair hasn't always meshed. Still, Janet shared that she hopes to end their conflict, which has been a point of focus on the Bravo show since the series' early days last spring.
"Zach and I, we've been stuck with these same sort of issues for a while, but I do want to get to a place of peace with him," she told co-hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real. "I think he's hilarious."
While the followup to Vanderpump Rules follows longtime reality stars like Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor, Janet is new to the scene. And her road to get there has been less than typical, as it all started after she boldly approached Scheana Shay back in her assistant days.

While the follow-up to Vanderpump Rules follows longtime reality stars like Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor, Janet is new to the scene. And her road to get there has been less than typical: It all started after she boldly approached Scheana Shay back in her assistant days.
'I went up to her and was like, 'You're Scheana from Vanderpump, let's take a picture.' We ended up spending the entire day talking,' she explained on the May 29 episode of The Viall Files podcast. 'We talked about what it's like getting divorced in your 20s, which both of us had done [and] starting over.'
Janet acknowledged that while their connection may have been unusual, she's not afraid to be honest.
'Sure, it's odd to start a friendship as a fan and somebody who's on reality TV, but I never felt embarrassed to be a Bravo fan," she added. "That's the truth of how we met."

The actress had been living alone for many years, having largely stepped away from the entertainment industry. Her children, police said, did not live nearby. Dr Summaiya Syed, a police surgeon at Jinnah Hospital, confirmed to local media that a post-mortem examination would not proceed until her son arrived. Preliminary assessments suggested Ayesha was in the bathroom when she died. Police have begun questioning neighbours and family members as part of their investigation.

She also starred in Soteli Maamta, her most recent screen appearance, which aired on Hum TV in 2020. The actress was the elder sister of late TV star Khalida Riyasat. A versatile performer, Ayesha appeared in both comedic and dramatic roles and was frequently cast alongside actors Qazi Wajid and Talat Hussain. Her long-standing collaboration with these actors made her part of one of PTV's most loved on-screen ensembles. Tributes have poured in from across the entertainment industry. Hum TV, with whom Ayesha frequently worked, issued a statement saying: 'May her soul rest in peace. Our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones.' Adnan Siddiqui, 54, remembered his first encounter with Ayesha during the filming of Uroosa.

Tom Sandoval surprises during 'America's Got Talent' audition
Two years after "Scandoval," former "Vanderpump Rules" star Tom Sandoval is taking on "America's Got Talent." The ex-Bravolebrity — who became a "Pump Rules" pariah after an explosive cheating scandal — is slated to audition for "AGT" with his band the Most Extras on the upcoming June 24 episode. "My name is Tom Sandoval, I was the most hated man in America," Sandoval quips in an "AGT" teaser posted on the show's official Instagram account. "This is the chance to show who I am as a musician." In a separate clip, Sandoval and his band perform the '80s hit song "Take on Me" by A-ha on the NBC reality TV variety series. During the audition, judges Mel B, Simon Cowell and Sofía Vergara and Mel B looked uneasy about Sandoval's "AGT" attempt. When does 'America's Got Talent' 2025 start? What to know about the premiere, judges Later, though, Cowell smiles as Sandoval dramatically dances on stage and surprises the audience with his vocal ability. Last month, the landmark 20th season of "America's Got Talent" kicked off, offering amateur and often unknown acts the chance to win a $1 million prize and performance in Las Vegas. Mel B returned as a judge alongside comedian Howie Mandel, Cowell and Vergara. The "Scary Spice" Girl replaces former judge and supermodel Heidi Klum, who joined the group in 2013 and judged on Seasons 8-13. Actor Terry Crews reprised his host main hosting role on the show. Tom Sandoval is one of the biggest reality TV villains in history Sandoval's role in the aptly coined "Scandoval" cemented him as one of the most infamous reality TV stars in history. In early March 2023, tabloid reports began circulating that Sandoval cheated on his longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix with their co-star Raquel Leviss, who is now known by her legal name Rachel Leviss. The controversy catapulted Madix, now split from Sandoval, into superstardom with stints as Roxie Hart on "Chicago" on Broadway and as a finalist on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." Last year, reality hit Sandoval and his former castmates when Bravo announced that "Pump Rules" would return with a brand-new cast following the hit show's 11th season and Madix's individual success as host of "Love Island USA."
