Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright are finally sharing Mamaw’s Beer Cheese with Los Angeles.

During the Thursday, August 3, episode of their “When Reality Hits” podcast, Taylor, 44, and Cartwright, 34, opened up about their newest business venture.

“I am opening a sports bar. It is going to be called Jax’s Studio City. We started construction on Monday and I am really excited. We are finally going to have a neighborhood sports bar,” Taylor shared.

Taylor said they are trying not to let the business affect their marriage, adding, “I know in the past I said that owning a bar is basically a marriage killer, but the difference is [Brittany is] involved just as much as I am. My wife is involved just as much as I am. We have 100 percent say in what is going on and she is doing the decorating.”

He continued: “The difference between some other people that we know that did a bar without their significant others is that I am involving mine.”

Cartwright, for her part, said she was excited to work on the project with her husband.

“He said [owning a bar ruins relationships] many times and it has freaked me out ever since this project came to be a possibility for us. It is called Jax’s, but it is mine too,” she told listeners. “And you are not going to be there 24/7. It is going to be kid-friendly during the day.”

According to Cartwright, Vanderpump Rules fans will even see a familiar item on the menu.

“What we are planning on doing is finally having Mamaw’s Beer Cheese on the menu so people can come and pick up their own little tub there,” she confirmed. “We couldn’t sell it here in California, but now that we have a kitchen, I am going to fly my [grandmother] out and have her help with the menu so that it has a lot of southern charm.”

Bravo viewers were originally introduced to Mamaw’s Beer Cheese when Taylor and Cartwright discussed launching the product during season 7 of the reality show.

“Beer cheese is a beer cheese spread. It has cheese, it has other spices, it has beer in it,” Cartwright, who shares 2-year-old son Cruz with Taylor, explained during a December 2018 episode. “I’ve grown up on this stuff — my [grandmother] has made it my entire life, and it’s just delicious. I can’t wait to bring it to L.A.”

The idea was ultimately not addressed again as Taylor and Cartwright shifted their focus to their 2019 nuptials. After exchanging vows — and documenting the wedding on Vanderpump Rules — the pair surprised fans when they announced their reality TV exit in 2020.

Taylor and Cartwright are set to return to the network, however, with an eight-episode spinoff series alongside former costar Kristen Doute. The trio’s friend Lala Kent recently confirmed that production has kicked off.

“It is fully happening, and I think they start this week,” Kent, 32, shared on July 24 during her Amazon Live. “It is so weird that they have a show and they aren’t on our show. And as of now, we aren’t on their show. We are all best friends and we should be filming a show together.”

Kent and Scheana Shay have been spotted filming with Taylor, Cartwright and Doute, 40. Taylor hinted at his return to reality TV last month when he apologized to Doute for his “attendance and flakiness” due to professional projects.

“[We have been] a little busy and everyone will find out sooner or later what we have going on,” he teased during a July appearance on Doute’s “Sex, Love, and What Else Matters” podcast.

The Rising Trend of Immigrant-Driven Police Car Destruction

Recent events have highlighted a concerning trend of police vehicle damage and theft during immigration-related protests. On February 3, 2025, a demonstration against federal immigration policies in Arizona’s West Valley turned violent, resulting in significant property damage and a brazen act of police vehicle theft.

Escalation of Protests

The protest, which began peacefully, escalated as the crowd grew to approximately 1,000 people. By 7:30 PM, demonstrators had taken over the intersection of 67th Avenue and Camelback Road, setting off fireworks and engaging in unruly behavior. As the situation deteriorated, some protesters began throwing rocks, concrete chunks, and glass bottles at officers.

Police Vehicle Theft and Damage

In a shocking turn of events, one protester managed to steal a police patrol vehicle. According to a Glendale Police spokesperson, the suspect “jumped into one of our patrol vehicles and drove it a short distance before it was quickly recovered”. This incident underscores the heightened tensions and bold actions taken by some demonstrators.

The damage was not limited to this single act of theft. Five marked patrol vehicles sustained significant damage, including:

Broken windows
Slashed tires
Body and hood dents

Wider Impact and Response

The unrest spread beyond law enforcement targets. Multiple civilian vehicles and area businesses also suffered damage, and a large storage container behind a business complex was set on fire. To regain control of the situation, authorities deployed chemical agents around 10:15 PM to disperse what they termed an “unlawful assembly”.

Context of Immigration Tensions

This incident occurs against the backdrop of heightened immigration enforcement efforts by the Trump administration. Recent directives have led to an aggressive increase in arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), with officials aiming to detain 1,200 to 1,500 individuals daily. This policy shift has sparked protests in multiple cities across the United States, including Los Angeles, Houston, and Atlanta.

Conclusion

The theft and destruction of police vehicles during immigration protests represent a troubling escalation in civil unrest. While the majority of demonstrators express their views peacefully, these incidents highlight the potential for violence and property damage when tensions run high. Law enforcement agencies and community leaders face the challenge of balancing public safety with the right to protest as the debate over immigration policies continues to intensify.

Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ Dominates 2025 Grammys

Kendrick Lamar dominated the 67th Grammy Awards, held on February 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The rapper swept all five categories he was nominated in, including the prestigious Song of the Year and Record of the Year awards for his track “Not Like Us”.

“Not Like Us,” a diss track aimed at Drake, became the de facto song of 2024 when it was released in May, topping the Billboard singles charts. The song’s success at the Grammys further solidified Lamar’s position in his long-standing rivalry with Drake, with the track winning awards for Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video during the Premiere Ceremony.

Lamar’s acceptance speeches were notable for their focus on Los Angeles and its recovery efforts. During his acceptance for Record of the Year, he acknowledged various neighborhoods in Los Angeles and emphasized the ongoing wildfire recovery efforts. This aligned with the Grammy’s overall theme this year, which included raising funds for wildfire relief in the Los Angeles area.

The rapper’s victories come at a significant time in his career. Having released his album “GNX” in November, Lamar is now set to headline the Super Bowl halftime show next week. His Grammy success has further elevated his status in the hip-hop community and the music industry at large.

Lamar’s wins were not without controversy, however. The track “Not Like Us” is currently involved in a legal dispute initiated by Drake against Universal Music Group. Drake alleges that the label, which represents both him and Lamar, jeopardized his career by promoting the song.

Despite the controversy, Lamar’s clean sweep at the Grammys has cemented his place as one of the most influential and successful artists in contemporary music. His ability to combine critical acclaim with commercial success and cultural impact was on full display at this year’s ceremony.
