Jill Zarin and Gardy Brody posing together at an event

It’s been a strange year forJill Zarin. The formerReal Housewives of New Yorkstar kicked things off with a racially-tinged rant aboutBad Bunnythat quickly sparked a backlash she still hasn’t recovered from. Now, things have taken another turn. She and her boyfriend,Gary Brody, are wrapped up in a lawsuit over a piece of pickleball equipment.

The former RHONY star and her boyfriend Gary Brody are the focus of a lawsuit

According to court documents reviewed byTMZ, a man named Noah Springer is suing Jill, Gary, and GNG Enterprises. He claims he helped develop a machine called the Go-No-Go, which allows pickleball players to test their paddles before games to ensure they meet standardized regulations.

In the lawsuit, Noah alleges that he invested $500,000 in 2022 in exchange for a 25% stake in Pickle Pro Labs, LLC, along with a promised monthly salary of $5,000. He says those paychecks stopped around 2024, right around the time Jill and Garyentered the picture.

Noah says that around that same time,the RHONY alumand her boyfriend founded GNG Enterprises and started selling the Go-No-Go machine. They’re allegedly marketing the device as their own, even though it was “conceived, engineered, researched, funded, and developed by Pickle Pro Labs.”

Noah is seeking an injunction to stop GNG Enterprises from selling the Go-No-Go machine, as well as damages. Meanwhile, GNG has already been named the official paddle deflection testing device across several major pickleball organizations. According to Noah, all of that business could have been going to Pickle Pro.

Jill and Garyhaven’t publicly commentedon this latest mess. Keep your eyes peeled for more details as this unfolds in court.

The shoot sees Rih in various haute couture and headpiece-adorned, bourgeois looks while posing around a Versailles-esque setting. The accompanying write-around story featured quotes about the occasional singer from partnerA$AP Rocky, previous collaborator SZA, legends Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige, actors Sarah Paulson, Donald Glover, Jonah Hill and more.

Woman accused of shooting at Rihanna'shome pleads not guilty

Rocki's magazine cover debut comes years after her brother, RZA,starred on the cover of British Voguewith their parents in March 2023. Rihanna and Rocky share 3-year-old RZA Athelaston, 2-year-oldRiot Roseand 7-month-old Rocki Irish Mayers.

Philosophically, the way she operates is on another level. She is the most charming and genuine person on Earth. Her energy is unmatched—one of a kind. I just adore her."

“Beaches” review: You'll laugh and, yes, you'll cry on Broadway

“Spoiler alert: she dies,” someone said as the audience took their seats before a preview performance ofBeacheson Broadway, which opened tonight at the Majestic Theatre.

While blunt, the theater-goer is not wrong. Famously sad and based on the 1988 movie starringBette MidlerandBarbara Hersheyand the 1985 novel by Iris Rainer Dart, both of the same name,Beachestells the story of best friends Cee Cee Bloom and Bertie White. (Bertie’s name was changed to Hillary for the film.)

On stage, Jessica Vosk takes on the role of Cee Cee (made famous by Midler) and Kelli Barrett plays Bertie (Hershey in the film… as Hillary). While Vosk is known for starring as Elphaba inWickedfor several years, Barrett previously played the character’s younger sister, Nessarose. She also portrayedLiza Minnelliin the TV showFosse/Verdon.

The BFFs — one a scrappy, inspiring performer and the other from a wealthy, proper family — meet on the boardwalk in Atlantic City and quickly bond despite their differences. The witty dialogue known from the movie is there from the jump, with youngversions of Cee Ceeand Bertie (played by Samantha Schwartz and Zeya Grace, respectively), delivering not-so-age appropriate lines and standing up to their mothers with a mix of sass and spunk. “Little Cee” and “Little Bertie,” who make appearances throughout the show, ultimately become a highlight of the production.

Teen versions of Bertie (Emma Ogea) and Cee Cee (Bailey Ryon) are also introduced as the pair stay in touch via letters over the years before Bertie eventually comes to live with Cee Cee. Whenever directors Lonny Price and Matt Cowart have all six women were on stage at the same time, it is hard not to smile and think:This is girlhood.

That sentiment, however, fades a bit as the show changes the plot of the movie, seemingly in an attempt to stay true to the book. While all three versions of Cee Cee and Bertie’s story include a fight over theater director John Perry (he sleeps with Bertie first before eventually marrying Cee Cee), the film introduces tension between the women not solely based on a man. A plot device of a second “love triangle” conflict — Bertie’s husband Michael randomly making a pass at Cee Cee — was disappointing and provided a lack of growth of Bertie’s character, who becomes a confident lawyer in the movie, but not on stage.

There’s also a musical number from John (Brent Thiessen) and Michael (Ben Jacoby) called “God Bless Girlfriends” that felt unnecessary — we didn’t come here to hear two men explain (or complain?) about female friendship. On a more positive note with the songs (music by Mike Stoller, lyrics by Dart), you justknowVosk will have a proper rendition of “The Wind Beneath My Wings” on lock when you hear her sing “A Real Woman” in the first act.

The four-year falling out over the Michael incident leads to a second act that doesn’t quite capture the fun, light-hearted spirit from act one, but does naturally prepare the crowd for the ending — WARNING: We’re circling back to that aforementioned spoiler — when Bertie, now a single mom, is terminally ill.

Cee Cee drops everything to take care of Bertie as the women are reunited at the beach before she takes her last breath. Singing the signature song from the movie, Vosk is joined by Teen Cee Cee and Little Cee Cee for “The Wind Beneath My Wings,” which will have you reaching for your best friend and making her promise not to die. Okay, maybe that was just me, but either way, you’ll be grabbing your tissues and be reminded that Vosk truly is a powerhouse.Grade B–
