‘SUMMER’ TIME BLUES

Lindsay Hubbard of the Hamptons-set “Summer House” is opening up about her castmate Carl Radke abruptly calling off their engagement not even three months before their scheduled November wedding.

“I was completely blindsided,” Manhattan publicist Hubbard, 37, told Us Weekly, saying Radke never offered her a concrete reason. "He blew up my entire life. I was crying, I was angry and I had to find closure on my own. Now I’m at a place where I feel really good about moving on."

Noting, "I absolutely will never have regrets about being with him [and] loving somebody with everything that I have," she said she believes that with "every experience, you learn and grow and navigate better the next time."

At this past weekend’s fan convention BravoCon in Las Vegas, Hubbard told the audience at a cast panel that she and Radke “don’t really speak unless he has to come to the apartment to get some stuff.”

COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF

Uniondale’s Donya Taylor earned praise from Gordon Ramsay on this season’s sixth episode of “Hell’s Kitchen,” in which Brad Delgado quit and Raneisha Conerly was eliminated.
