Are there some clues that Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix’s sandwich shop, Something About Her is in major trouble? The Vanderpump Rules stars opened the shop in May 2024 and have had lines around the block. Yet, is this just a fleeting success that is now coming crumbling down on them? Keep reading for more details on what is going on with the long-awaited sandwich business.

Clues Something About Her In Major Trouble

Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix came together in Season 9 of Vanderpump Rules to start a sandwich shop. It was Katie’s idea which she had wanted for a very long time and Ariana was ready to hop on board. Then, they teamed up and worked very hard in an attempt to open Something About Her. They did two soft openings with their co-stars and it felt like opening day would never come. Finally, in May 2024, Katie and Ariana had their grand opening.

At a time when past drama was center stage on Vanderpump Rules, Ann Maddox was a fresh new face in Season 11. Introduced as the new assistant to Tom Sandoval as he adjusted to life post-Scandoval, Ann had the unlucky task of playing go-between with her new boss and his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix as they shared a home while aggressively avoiding one another. During her time with Sandoval, Maddox was sometimes an assistant, sometimes a housekeeper, and a frequent object of pity, as she was stuck carrying out jobs that were not on the typical task list of a personal assistant. She also formed a bond with Madix as she navigated the tricky waters of carrying out her assigned tasks stuck between her boss's wishes and Madix's boundaries.

The former personal assistant of Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval has addresses some recent talk about a spin off. Ann Maddox is just as excited as some Vpr fans about the possibility of another Bravo show.

Maddox discussed the possibility while appearing on s recent podcast. When asked about the spin-off, the season 11 fan favorite shared that while she wasn’t privy to any plans in the works she hopes it will happen. “But I don’t know if that came from a kernel of truth or just, like, people hoping,” Ann said. Adding, “I’m hoping! That would be fun. I’m down for anything.”

Vanderpump Rules – Something About Her

If producers do not have something in the works, Vpr fans have given them a solid idea in creating a spin off centered around the daily workings of Something About Her. The new sandwich shop owned by Vpr’s...

Ann Maddox became a fan favorite on Vanderpump Rules when she had to mediate things between Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix. One of the things they agreed on when the two still lived in their shared home was that an assistant would work everything out between them and converse from Sandoval to Madix. That fell on Maddox's shoulders as his assistant, and it clearly weighed on her. When Madix was looking for an assistant herself, Maddox almost instantly threw her name in the ring and that was not okay with Sandoval, who fired Maddox. That then resulted in Madix protecting Sandoval's ex-assistant and hiring her at her restaurant "Something About Her" that Madix started with Katie Maloney.

Ann Maddox recently spoke out about how it was seeing her former boss, Tom Sandoval, at the Vanderpump Rules reunion. Fans have been rooting for Ann ever since they saw what Tom was making her do. Now she has a new boss and a job she loves. However, viewers are dying to know if there was an awkwardness or tension between the two when they saw each other. Keep reading to find out more.

Ann Maddox Has Lots Of To-Do’s

Ann Maddox had a lot of to-dos on her list when working for Tom Sandoval. Tom had a lot of parties. This ended with making the house a mess and Ann having to clean it up in the morning. It was also said that Ann would have to pick up Tom’s dirty underwear. Ew. Not only that but when Ariana and Tom split, there was another awkward job she had to do.

Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval has revealed his buyout offer on the home he shares with ex, Ariana Madix. This has been an ongoing issue for all of Season 11 as to how they can remain under one roof. They have gone back and forth about how much the home is worth and who should have to leave. Now, the offer is officially on the table for fans to judge. So, how much did Sandoval try to give his ex? Keep reading for more details.

Vanderpump Rules Tom Sandoval Reveals Buyout Offer To Ariana

It is still unclear what is going on with Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix’s Valley Village dream home that they purchased in 2019. The hope was they would grow old there together. Unfortunately, that did not and would not happen after Sandoval had an affair with Rachel Leviss. Yet, Ariana did not have the funds to immediately...

Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix’s long-awaited sandwich shop, Something About Her, finally has an opening date. They have been teasing that it was coming very soon but could not say exactly when. Now, the time has come but when is it? Keep reading for all of the opening day details.

Something About Her Opening Date Finally Revealed

It felt like this day would never come and with good reason. Katie Maloney mentioned her dream of a sandwich shop in Season 9 of Vanderpump Rules to her then-husband, Tom Schwartz. He did not have the time as he was so invested in his other endeavors so she brought it up to Ariana Madix. She was all in so they found a location and started to get all of their ducks in a row. By Season 10, Something About Her was starting to look very promising and by the end of the season,...

Is Tom Sandoval’s ex-assistant, Ann Maddox now employed at Something About Her after being fired by the Vanderpump Rules star? Viewers saw her take a very tense interview with Ariana Madix in the latest episode while Sandoval listened in. So, what has since happened to Ann? Keep reading for more details.

Is Tom Sandoval’s Ex-Assistant Employed At Something About Her?

Ann Maddox was tasked with a lot as Tom Sandoval’s assistant. It did not seem so bad at first since she was close to both Sandoval and his longtime girlfriend, Ariana Madix. Then, he had an affair with Ariana’s close friend, Rachel Leviss and everything blew up. Since Ariana and Sandoval owned a home together which neither of them would leave, Ann now had to be the go-between. Furthermore, she had to clean up after all of Sandoval’s parties and she was seen in some disgusting situations.

Ann started working for Sandoval in 2020, which surprised some viewers of Vpr. Ann expressed interest in becoming Ariana's assistant, causing tension with Sandoval. Ann and Ariana hinted at a potential working relationship, sparking curiosity among fans.

Vanderpump Rules season 11 introduced a new supporting character into the group: Tom Sandoval’s assistant, Ann Maddox. Ann has been featured in most of the episodes of the season thus far, either seen cleaning up after Sandoval or chatting with Ariana Madix in their shared home. When season 11 was filmed, Ann was Sandoval and Ariana’s point of communication. Ariana did not want to film with Sandoval or directly communicate with him during the season (and off-camera). Ann served as the buffer between the couple in the most hectic time immediately after Scandoval.

Throughout Vanderpump Rules season 11, Ariana has questioned Ann's job. When Ariana reached out to Ann, letting her know she was looking to hire an assistant,...

Ariana Madix is sharing who won’t be back for Season 12 of Vanderpump Rules. The new host of Love Island has had fans wondering if she is done with the show, as well. Yet, she did just buy a new home in California so hopefully, that is a sign she is not going anywhere. So, who is exiting? Keep reading for more details.

Ariana Madix Shares Who Won’t Be Back For Season 12

Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules introduced viewers to some new cast members and they were either hit or miss. The infamous Jo Wenberg finally showed her face after being talked about by Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney. She was a former close friend of Kristen Doute’s who was living with Schwartz during his divorce. They became friends with benefits but she does not have the best reputation. Along with Jo, Tom Sandoval’s assistant, Ann Maddox was...

Tom Sandoval wants a “civil” relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Ariana Madix but she maintains that he just “stop.” The Vanderpump Rules co-stars still live together in their Valley Village home and have managed to keep their distance. Yet, they are about to come face to face and it is not looking good in any capacity. Keep reading for more details.

Tom Sandoval Wants ‘Civil’ Relationship, Ariana Maintains He ‘Stop’

This season on Vanderpump Rules, Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix are still living under the same roof. Neither wants to give up the house they bought in 2019. More so, Ariana does not feel she should have to pack up her life because Sandoval had an affair. They interacted once when Sandoval approached Ariana about wanting to buy her out. She turned her head away and waited for him to leave but they have his assistant, Ann Maddox who serves as their go-between.

Tom Sandoval‘s former assistant Ann Maddox is speaking out about the Vanderpump Rules star!

Ann has recently been seen on the Bravo series in the latest season as she works to communicate between Tom and his ex Ariana Madix while still living in the same house.

In a new interview, Ann opened up about the cheating scandal, Rachel Leviss‘ new podcast, being a go-between for Tom and Ariana, and more.

Keep reading to find out more…

While speaking with Variety, Ann shared that she started working for Tom in 2020 and actually found about Scandoval while she was in Japan.

“It was super early in the morning, I guess, because of the time difference,” she said of when she found out, noting her phone was blowing up with lots of texts. “At first, I didn’t believe it and kinda brushed it off as tabloid rumors, but she explained to...

When “Vanderpump Rules” returned for Season 11 on Jan. 30, viewers and cast members alike were still reeling from what might be one of reality television’s most shocking scandals ever — the revelation that Tom Sandoval was cheating on longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix with their co-star Rachel Leviss, which was quickly deemed the #Scandoval.

Though Sandoval and Madix split as a couple in March 2023, the season premiere showed the two still live in their Valley Village house, while maintaining a no-contact policy. Safe to say this has made a tense breakup even more so — case in point: the season’s second episode, “The Ultimate Betrayal,” in which Sandoval is nearly barred from having a birthday party at the house because Madix disapproves.

What provided comic relief during the episode, which highlighted the former couple’s uncomfortable dynamic, was Sandoval’s now-former assistant, Ann Maddox. Among her many responsibilities, she helped Sandoval and...

Vanderpump Rules season 11, episode 2, begins with accusations of Tom Sandoval using "psychological warfare" on ex Ariana Madix, causing tension in their shared living situation. Ariana takes issue with Tom's white noise machine, deeming it too loud and questioning if it's a deliberate tactic to annoy her. Ariana refuses Tom's offer to book a hotel room for her during his birthday party, deeming it disrespectful, and she threatens to call the cops if he hosts the party at their house.

Vanderpump Rules season 11 just started, but Tom Sandoval is already being accused of using "psychological warfare" on his ex, Ariana Madix. The end of Vanderpump Rules season 10 captured the fallout from Scandoval, the earth-shattering reality TV affair between Tom and Raquel Leviss. The returning Vanderpump Rules cast members are now attempting to pick up the pieces from that mess as they return to Bravo. Unfortunately, the situation is even harder considering...

Tom Sandoval's former assistant, Ann Maddox, revealed that Tom had volunteered her to collect mail from the woman he cheated with, Raquel Leviss. Ann felt crushed by Tom's public deception of his girlfriend, Ariana Madix, and expressed her love for Ariana. Ann's relationship with Tom and Ariana has been impacted by the fallout from the scandal, and she has recently resigned from her position as Tom's assistant.

Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval has been in the public eye for the better part of the last year due to his poor behavior, and his former assistant is sharing that his behavior surrounding Scandoval was even trickier than viewers understood. While Tom has been on reality TV for nearly a decade, nothing could’ve prepared him for the atomic bomb of Scandoval in early 2023, when his long-term girlfriend Ariana Madix found out that he was cheating on her with their close friend,...

Steve Little discusses the mind blowing new comedy from director Todd Rohal is in select theaters this weekend, and On Demand starting October 26th

In select theaters now, and coming to On Demand October 26th, is the strange new comedy The Catechism Cataclysm from director Todd Rohal. The film follows a young, unconventional priest known as Father Billy (Steve Little) who goes on a daylong canoe trip with a fellow classmate that he used to idolize in high school. To say any more about the actual film itself would be to give away its mystery.

We recently met up with Steve Little, who may be best known as Stevie on Eastbound & Down, to chat about this crazy movie and its unconventional ways. There are no spoilers ahead, but here is our conversation, where we try to find the true meaning in The Catechism Cataclysm.

I have to imagine that when various audiences see this movie,...

Title: The Catechism Cataclysm Director: Todd Rohal Starring: Steve Little, Robert Longstreet, Miki Ann Maddox, Koko Lanham, Rico A. Comic, Jay Wesley Cochran, Wally Dalton If one likes their horror-comedies sans logic and/or pointless; then The Catechism Cataclysm will be 75 minutes of pure bliss for them. As for the rest of us…damn this movie to hell! An inexperienced priest, Father William (Steve Little) reaches out to an old high school friend in Robbie (Robert Longstreet), and convinces him to tag along on a canoe trip. Seeing the two polar-opposites interacting – which makes up the majority of this flick – begs the question of how these guys were ever...

I feel as if this is the start of a good thing.  The somewhat indescribably weird Catechism Cataclysm is one of the first films out of the gate for Rough House Productions, the company run by Danny McBride, Jody Hill and David Gordon Green.  If you don't know who they are, look their names up.  Having seen this film, it would appear that in between their more high profile pictures there will be a few extra dollars laying around for doing. . . whatever the heck they want.

In The Catechism Cataclysm, Writer/Director Todd Rohal introduces us to the world of Father Billy (Eastbound & Down's Steve Little), a man-child idiotic enough to be the third Step Brother.  His bible study classes veer off into absurd story-time parables that may not have much relation to the Good Book, but make for hilarious recreated scenes.  He's ordered to take some "time off," so...

Director: Todd Rohal Writer: Todd Rohal Starring: Steve Little, Robert Longstreet, Wally Dalton, Miki Ann Maddox, Koko Lanham, Rico, Joe Ivy, Jay Wesley Cochran Father William Smoortser (Steve Little) begins The Catechism Cataclysm with a "110% real story" to a few seniors of his congregation; unfortunately the story has nothing to do with the Good Book, instead the moral of Father William's story: "If you are going to have a senior moment, make it a memorable one." Because of his misguidedly goofball antics, Father William is sent on an early vacation. Father William meets up with his childhood idol, his sister's ex-boyfriend, Robbie Shoemaker (Robert Longstreet) -- not to be confused with the "famous" Robbie Shoemaker from Defrockation. Like a surreal joke, the Catholic priest and the former metal-head go on a canoe trip which begins with Father William dropping his bible into a toilet full of diarrhea. If that is not a bad omen,...

Father Billy (Steve Little) is an eccentric young priest forced to take a sabbatical by his superiors when he is discovered telling inappropriate parables to his flock. Billy tracks down his high-school idol Robbie (Robert Longstreet), who begrudgingly agrees to a canoe trip. On the water, the two men reminisce about Billy's days as the keyboardist in a Christian band and Robbie's as a guitarist for a metal band. When night approaches, they realize they have lost their way, and that's when things get weird...

Todd Rohal directs The Catechism Cataclysm. Check out the trailer below.

The Catechism Cataclysm comes to theaters October 19th, 2011 and stars Steve Little, Robert Longstreet, Wally Dalton, Miki Ann Maddox, Koko Lanham, Rico A. Comic, Jay Wesley Cochran, Joe Ivy. The film is directed by Todd Rohal.

The South by Southwest Film Festival announced its feature film line-up Wednesday, piling heaps of cinematic goodness on an already stellar program that includes Jodie Foster’s The Beaver, Duncan Jones’ Source Code, Ti West’s The Innkeepers, Conan O’Brien’s tour documentary, and the latest Simon Pegg-Nick Frost comedy, Paul, with Seth Rogen.

Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight) returns to the festival with her latest film, Red Riding Hood starring Amanda Seyfried, after the writer-director spoke on a screenwriting panel in 2009.

Plus a few favorites from the Sundance Film Festival last month, like Tom McCarthy’s Win Win, Morgan Spurlock’s The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, and Max Winkler’s Ceremony.

I’m extremely excited, even if I’m already having flashbacks to intense sleep deprivation. Like the last two years, I’ll be on the ground covering as much of the festival as I can within the packed 9 days of screenings,...

We’ve been bringing you the first images from films that will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival later this month, and today we have the first images from The Catechism Cataclysm. If you’re a fan of HBO’s Eastbound and Down, then you’re probably of fan of Steve Little’s character Stevie: the lovable half-wit who blindly idolizes Danny McBride’s Kenny Powers. Little takes his first starring role in The Catechism Cataclysm, which will be featured as a part of the festival’s Park City at Midnight. The film stars Little, Robert Longstreet (Pineapple Express) and Walter Dalton (Wendy and Lucy), and tells the story of a disinterested priest who seeks out his old high school classmate, with whom he embarks on a disastrous canoeing trip. Hit the jump to check out the images, as well as a brief synopsis for the film. The 2011 Sundance Film Festival runs from January 20 – 30th.

After announcing the 58 films in four categories that would be eligible for awards at Sundance, the film fest has now announced the next 57 movies to be screened this coming January. These 57 films are of course out of competition and will be included in Premieres, Next, Spotlight, New Frontiers and Midnight categories. Most are big name projects from already established filmmakers and some have already made their way around film festival in 2010. The list includes Kevin Smith’s Red State, Tom McCarthy’s Win Win, Morgan Spurlock’s documentary The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, Submarine, I Saw the Devil (which had plenty of buzz at Tiff) and my most anticipated film of 2011, Hobo With a Shotgun.

Here is the full list:

To showcase the diversity of contemporary independent cinema, the Sundance Film Festival Premieres section offers the latest work from American and international directors as well as world premieres of highly anticipated films.

Park City, Ut – Sundance Institute announced today the lineup of films selected to screen in the 2011 Sundance Film Festival out-of-competition sections Next (<=>), Spotlight, New Frontier, Park City at Midnight, as well as a new Native Showcase. The 2011 Sundance Film Festival runs January 20-30 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah. The complete list of films is available at http://www.sundance.org/festival/.

Trevor Groth, Director of Programming said, “The Sundance Film Festival is uniquely a festival of discovery and we are once again privileged to showcase the work of talented new artists, including a special section devoted to Native filmmakers. But it’s also exciting to see returning directors honing their skills and emerging with dazzling new films. And the Next section highlights visionary work that shows aesthetic creativity is not limited by budget.

As you no doubt noticed, Uncle Creepy has been busily bringing you early news and photos from several of the recently announced films that will be playing at Sundance 2011, both in competition and out. But he hasn't quite covered everything yet so here's a list of all the even slightly genre-related offerings that are a part of the upcoming Sundance film festival (running January 20-30).

In Competition:

On the Ice (Director and screenwriter: Andrew Okpeaha MacLean) - On the snow-covered Arctic tundra, two teenagers try to get away with murder. Cast: Josiah Patkotak, Frank Qutuq Irelan, Teddy Kyle Smith, Adamina Kerr, Sierra Jade Sampson. (More thriller than horror, we still thought it worth mentioning).

Take Shelter (Director and screenwriter: Jeff Nichols) - A working-class husband and father questions whether his terrifying dreams of an apocalyptic storm signal something real to come or the onset of an inherited mental illness he's feared his whole life.

Yes, you read that right, they are out of competition but into lesbians courtesy of the midnight lineup.

What do we have to look forward to waiting two years for? Let's see..

Hobo With a Shotgun

Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same (you had me at lesbian)

Attenberg (I'm loving the coming Greek weird wave)

And many many more films, some of which we'll probably never get to see. Damn.

Full list after the break.

Eight American films selected for their innovative and original work in low- and no-budget filmmaking. Each is a world premiere.

In addition to the return of filmmakers like "Chuck & Buck"'s Miguel Arteta, "Clockwatchers" director Jill Sprecher, Kevin Smith and "The Station Agent"'s Thomas McCarthy to Park City, the festival will also welcome less frequent or first-time Sundance attendees such as Hollywood types Al Pacino ("Son of No One") and Tobey Maguire ("The Details") and mumblecore alums Joe Swanberg ("Uncle Kent," which announced it's been...

Well, yesterday, we saw the full list of films in-competition; today, we get to see those titles that have been selected for Sundance 2011′s out-of-competition lineup.

And as I said with yesterday’s post, I’ll be going over the complete list, highlighting titles that need to be, taking into consideration this blog’s specific interests. The only title that immediately stands out is Brit John Akomfrah’s The Nine Muses, which MsWOO positively reviewed, after seeing it at the London Film Festival in October. Read her review Here.

But look for future posts profiling any other titles I deem worthy. I’ve applied for press credentials to attend next year’s festival. I won’t know until the 23rd of this month, whether I’ve been granted press access or not. If I am, I will attend the festival; and if I’m not, well, I probably won’t.

Well, if the Competition titles at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival don't generate any early year Oscar buzz, I think it's safe to say the Out of Competition titles will. Several films that have already been seen and positively reviewed can be found in the fest's Spotlight Line-Up along with a batch of anticipated hopefuls in the Premiere Section.

Beginning with the festival's premieres, Miguel Arteta (Youth in Revolt) is bringing Cedar Rapids to Park City where it will debut before it hits theaters only a couple weeks later on February 11. "Big Love" co-producers, Jill and Karen Sprecher are bringing an impressive cast for their crime drama The Convincer. Jacob Aaron Estes's The Details, which was shot only a few miles from my house in the Queen Anne district of Seattle, arrives with Elizabeth Banks, Laura Linney and Tobey Maguire in tow.

Mark Pellington (The Mothman Prophecies) will debut I Melt with You,...

Wednesday, the 2011 Sundance Film Festival announced the 58 films in four categories [1] that would be eligible for awards. Today, they've announced the next slice of their line up - 57 out of competition films in the Premieres, Next, Spotlight, New Frontiers and Midnight categories. This is generally where you get many of the bigger name projects and this year is no exception. We already knew [2] that Kevin Smith's Red State would be on the list, but there's also Tom McCarthy's new film Win Win, Morgan Spurlock's documentary The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, the highly buzzed-about Submarine, Fantastic Fest darling I Saw the Devil as well as Hobo With a Shotgun and a whole bunch more including films with Al Pacino, Tobey Maguire, Jeremy Piven, Kevin Spacey, Demi Moore, Paul Rudd and others. As we said yesterday, the announcement of the movies playing the 2011 Sundance Film Festival is like looking into our film futures.

Yesterday we revealed the in-competition line-up for this years Sundance Film Festival. Today the programmers have announced the second wave, the out-of-competition line-up. It includes six categories and you can check them all out below. We already knew Kevin Smith‘s Red State would be screening, as he announced on his podcast last night. The rest of this out-of-competition line-up is pretty unbelievable.

We get Cedar Rapids (from Youth In Revolt‘s Miguel Arteta), Mark Pellington‘s I Melt With You, My Idiot Brother starring Paul Rudd, Tom McCarthy‘s Win Win, as well as Dito Montiel‘s third feature The Son of No One. We also have new documentaries by Morgan Spurlock and Eugene Jarecki. Some of my favorite Tiff films are also making an appearance, including Submarine (pictured above) and Meek’s Cutoff. Check it out below.
