Bravo TV is about to shine a light on North Texas with the April 11 premiere of The Real Housewives of Dallas. What kind of light, however, remains to be seen.

The network has revealed the cast, which includes Cary Deuber, Tiffany Hendra, Stephanie Hollman, LeeAnne Locken, Brandi Redmond, and Marie Reyes. E! Online has a preview that shows the pecking order, which already has been established.

"You know what happens when old-money meets new-money meets no-money," the entertainment site coos.

Deuber is a native of Connecticut and a nurse's first assistant who has gone on medical mission trips in third-world countries. She lives and works in Dallas with her plastic surgeon husband, Dr. Mark Deuber, and maintains her own aesthetic injectable practice.

Tiffany Hendra is the veteran actress, host, and model who's best friends with LeeAnne Locken and married to Australian rocker Aaron. Bravo notes she has a "troubling past" from her time in the limelight.

LeeAnne Locken is the former Miss USA Pageant competitor, who's had several parts in TV and movies.

Oklahoma native Stephanie Hollman is "the girl next door" and the mom to two boys. According to Bravo, for Stephanie to make her own money, her husband, Travis, writes up a list of chores for her to do while he's away on business.

Brandi Redmond is a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader who married high-school sweetheart Bryan, and she's a full-time mom to two young girls.

Marie Reyes is an RN who owns and operates SkinSpaMED.

U.S. Gymnastics Championships come to Fort Worth ahead of 2024 Paris Olympics

For the country's top gymnasts, the road to the Paris Olympics will run through Fort Worth next year: The 2024 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships will take place at Dickies Arena, May 30-June 2, 2024.

The four-day men's and women's competition will crown national champions and determine the members of the U.S. National Team who will then compete at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Minneapolis, June 27-30, 2024.

According to a release from the Fort Worth Sports Commission (part of Visit Fort Worth), more than 150 athletes and tens of thousands of fans are expected to attend.

"Tens of thousands" might be a lean estimate considering the bold-face names expected to compete: Tokyo Olympic medalists Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Jade Carey; 2016 Olympic champ Gabby Douglas; and U.S. rising superstars Skye Blakely, Shilese Jones, Leanne Wong, Konnor McClain, Kayla DiCello, Zoe Miller, Joscelyn Roberson, Katelyn Jong, Lexi Zeiss, Tiana Sumanasekera, and more.

This will be the second straight Olympic year for Fort Worth to host the national championships. They were also contested at Dickies Arena in May 2021 ahead of the Tokyo Olympics; Biles won her seventh national title at the meet.

“With the incredible success of the 2021 championships, we are excited to return to Fort Worth,” USA Gymnastics chief programs officer Stefanie Korepin says in the release. “The Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships will offer fans an early look at the athletes who ultimately will compete to make the 2024 Olympic team.”

Not only did Fort Worth host a successful 2021 competition, but the city is a convenient location for many of athletes and coaches. Texas has become a powerhouse state for elite gymnastics, with many of the world's top athletes now training at World Champions Centre in Spring (Biles' home gym, owned by her family); World Olympic Gymnastics Academy, or "WOGA," in Plano (owned by Olympic champ Valeri Liukin, father of 2008 gold medalist Nastia Liukin); and Texas Dreams Gymnastics in Coppell (owned by Olympian Kim Zmeskal and national team member Chris Burdette).

Dickies Arena also hosted the 2022 NCAA Gymnastics Championships and the Biles-led Gold Over America Tour following the Tokyo Olympics.

“We truly value our partnership with USA Gymnastics and we couldn’t be more excited to host this prestigious championship and welcome the best gymnasts and fans in the country to experience all Fort Worth has to offer,” says Jason Sands, executive director of the Fort Worth Sports Commission, in the release.

Tickets to the 2024 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships will go on sale later this year, organizers say.
