Ariana Madix Is Unrecognizable as a Brunette Bombshell on ‘Love Island': See Her Transformation
Ariana Madix was the hot new bombshell who entered the villa on Love Island. Madix, 39, was unrecognizable as a brunette during season 7, episode 9 of Love Island, in which she serves as the host. For the episode, she stepped out in a long brunette Italiya wig that was parted down the middle and styled in a curly blowout by Carl Bembridge. Her bold new look was a big change from her classic platinum blonde tresses. The Vanderpump Rules alum had a full beat for her makeover, donning smokey eyeshadow that was blended to her crease with a shimmery bronze shade patted on her eyelids. She teamed the shadow, done by Krystal Dawn, with long, wispy eyelashes and black liner in her waterline, making her green eyes pop. The rest of her makeup featured dewy foundation, contoured and blushed cheeks, filled-in eyebrows and glossy, nude lips. Playing into her bombshell look, Madix, who was styled by Emily Men, wore a sexy cherry red RVNG outfit featuring a push-up corset, thick chokers — including a ball gag design — a voluminous cape and platform heels.

‘Vanderpump Rules' Star Tom Sandoval Impresses ‘AGT' Judges With Surprise Audition Tape
Tom Sandoval has got skills — or, at least, that's what he's trying to prove on America's Got Talent. In a preview for the show's Tuesday, June 24, episode shared on Friday, June 20, Sandoval, 42, tells judges Simon Cowell, Sofía Vergara, Mel B and Howie Mandel he's auditioning for the show because he's out of options. 'My name is Tom Sandoval, I was the most hated man in America,' Sandoval said in a clip shared via Instagram, referencing the so-called 'Scandoval' drama that unfolded on season 10 and 11 of Vanderpump Rules after Tom cheated on his then-girlfriend Ariana Madix with friend Raquel Leviss. 'This is the chance to show who I am as a musician.' He then launched into a cover of the 1980s song 'Take On Me' while cavorting onstage in a bedazzled green jacket and black pants. Ariana Madix Makes Subtle Jab at Tom Sandoval After Being Sued Over Explicit Rachel Leviss Videos Initially, judges weren't quite sure what to make of Sandoval. Cowell was seen grimacing at the beginning of the performance before cracking a smile, while Vergara seemed to doubt Sandoval's singing abilities. While Sandoval and the rest of the original cast of Vanderpump Rules will not be returning — in November, Bravo announced an entirely new cast will return for season 12 – Sandoval has not left reality TV behind. In May, Sandoval was announced as part of the cast of season 3 of House of Villains. He will be joined by Below Deck alum Kate Chastain, season 1 and 2 cast member Tiffany Pollard and Selling Sunset's Christine Quinn, as well as by Big Brother's Paul Abrahamian, Survivor's Tyson Apostol, Basketball Wives' Jackie Christie, Mob Wives' Drita D'Avanzo, RuPaul's Drag Race's Plane Jane, Love Island's Johnny Middlebrooks and The Challenge's Ashley Mitchell. Sandoval has yet to escape the full shadow that followed the revelation he had cheated on Ariana. In May, Madix said the pair still have not sold the home they bought together. 'You and Tom agreed to sell your shared home, what's the latest news?' Andy Cohen asked the Love Island USA host at the time, to which she responded, 'That is ongoing but hopefully wrapping up soon.' Tom Sandoval Thinks It's Time to 'Move On' from Scandoval: Did 'The Traitors' Kickstart His Redemption Era? The update came six months after Sandoval said he had agreed to sell the home after Madix took legal action in January 2024. According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly last year, Madix alleged there was 'discord' between Sandoval and herself, who are co-owners of the house. Sandoval had pushed to receive full ownership before agreeing to put the home on the market. Cohen asked Madix during her WWHL appearance whether she and Sandoval are 'cohabitating' as they continue to find a buyer, with Madix explaining that she now has her own separate house while Sandoval still 'lives there.' Us also confirmed in March 2024 that Madix bought a $1.6 million house that month.

Tom Sandoval leaves judge stunned as he tries to rehabilitate image as 'most hated man in America' on AGT
With Vanderpump Rules getting a whole new cast and Schwartz and Sandy's closing down, Tom Sandoval is in need of a job. He's not on any reality TV show for the first time in more than a decade so he decided to try something new. He is auditioning for America's Got Talent and the episode with him in it airs on Tuesday, June 24. 'My name is Tom Sandoval, I was the most hated man in America,' Sandoval said in a clip shared via Instagram. He was referencing the so-called Scandoval drama that unfolded on season 10 and 11 of Vanderpump Rules when Tom cheated on his then-girlfriend Ariana Madix with friend Raquel Leviss. 'This is the chance to show who I am as a musician,' Sandoval said, while Simon Cowell quipped, 'I think I know who you are.' He then launched into a cover of the 1980s song 'Take On Me' by the band A-ha. He really threw his all into the song while wording the state in a green sequin jacket and black pants. Sandoval had five short white vertical lines under his right eye as he crooned the song with his band The Most Extras. Judges Cowell, Sofia Vergara and former Spice Girl Mel B were all shocked to see Sandoval take the stage. Cowell scowled for most of Tom's song, but in the end he did offer him a small smile. But Sofia Vergara didn't look at all comfortable with Sandoval on the stage. Sandoval still hasn't escaped the long shadow of his cheating scandal and, in fact, has yet to sell the house he and Ariana bought together. He offered an update about the house he previously shared with Ariana on a March episode of Watch What Happens Live. The 42-year-old Sandoval and 39-year-old Madix purchased the Valley Village home for $2 million back in 2019. After they split in 2023, following Sandoval cheating on her with Raquel Leviss, Madix sued her ex to get him to force him to sell the house and split the profits. Sandoval ultimately agreed to sell the home, revealing on his Everybody Loves Tom podcast in October 2024 that he's getting the house ready to be sold. 'The house is going on the market. [We are] selling the house, getting it ready,' Sandoval revealed on the podcast. However, nearly five months later, Sandoval admitted on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live that the house has not sold yet. He also clarified that he's only communicating with his ex through her lawyer. Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen asked Sandoval if the house had sold yet, and Sandoval began, 'We have not.' 'It's been a lot of work. I've been doing a lot of the heavy lifting. It's just the way that it's been. It takes awhile,' Sandoval said. When Cohen asked who was living in the house, Sandoval said, 'I am currently,' and when he asked if he's been speaking with Madix throughout the process, he said they only communicate, 'through her entertainment lawyer.' Madix ultimately moved out of the Valley Village home she once shared with Sandoval, and moved into a Hollywood Hills home last year that she purchased for $1.6 million. Sandoval previously slammed Ariana as 'petty' for turning down his offer on the $2million property, which was later revealed to be a $600,000 cash buyout. 'Ariana is making it out to be that me wanting to keep the house is a psychopath move, but it's not,' the singer told Nick Viall on the The Viall Files podcast in January.
