* Here are the latest viewing figures of SBS6's entertainment news program "Shownieuws" featuring Patty Brard as a showbiz expert:

During the May 13th edition of Shownieuws, Patty discussed the feud between Sarah van Soelen and her ex, André Hazes jr. Recently, Monique Westenberg and André were reunited. Sarah and her family announced that they refused to appear in the documentary about André for RTL's Videoland and might sue the production company which filmed it.
During the May 14th edition, La Brard discussed Laura Pausini's presentation of the Eurovision Song Contest's final in Italy. The European music competition drew 3.138.000 viewers (market share: 65.2%) on the Dutch channel NPO 1. That is considerably less than last year when the ESC took place in the Netherlands, and 5.4 million Dutch viewers watched it. The winner was Ukraine with the song "Stefania", performed by Kalush Orchestra. This victory happened in a particular contest: Russia was excluded from the competition due to its invasion of Ukraine. Patty and her Shownieuws colleagues criticized the Italian production of the ESC. Pop singer Laura Pausini hosted the show with Alessandro Cattelan and Mika. Here's what the former Luv' lady said about "La solitudine" singer: "I don't understand it. It's unbelievable. A blind person did the styling. The make-up is horrible. This woman is too pale and looks like a dragon!". On 18 May 2022, Laura Pausini announced that she had tested positive for COVID-19, which means she was already ill during the ESC and explains why she looked so pale.

During the May 20st edition, Patty didn't appreciate that Monique Westenberg sold her used bikinis via Vinted. She also mentioned Sarah van Soelen who might institute summary proceedings against André Hazes Jr due to his documentary.
* The May 13th edition of De Telegraaf featured an article about Dutch celebrities (the Hazes, Bauers, Gillis, Meilands) who have their own reality shows on television. This item is illustrated with a picture of Patty Brard. The diva was one of the first Dutch media personalities to be involved in reality television. She and her third husband, René Muthert, were successful on "Patty's Posse", a high-rated program about their domestic life on Yorin in 2003-2004. Here's what TV program creator Bert van der Veer said about the SBS6 star: "When Patty Brard starred on a reality show a long time ago and had a fight with her then- fiancé René Muthert, she waited for a camera crew to film it. She wanted this moment on cam".
* A couple of days ago, Patty posted on Instagram a picture of herself wearing an iconic Baywatch red swimsuit. Yesterday, she announced on Facebook that she took part in a photoshoot for LINDA. magazine and she would appear on the cover of the July issue with Dutch singer Mart Hoogkamer and model Loiza Lamers.
