James Kennedyis known for many things onVanderpump Rules— his DJ skills, his fiery temper, his relationship withRaquel Leviss, and his self-proclaimed nickname as the “White Kanye.” But there’s one thing that he’s especially proud of: his hair.
In an article forNew York Magazine’sThe Strategist,the 31-year-old actor shared about the items — ranging from hair products to pasta — he can’t live without.
“I’ve been using this stuff since high school," Kennedy wrote of American Crew Men’s Hair Fiber. “Hairdressers scold me for it. They’re like, ‘What do you mean you use this?’ But if it works, why change it, you know what I mean?”

“Obviously, I’ve got the best hair onVanderpump Rules,” he added, “and there’s a reason for that.”
When it comes to his favorite pasta, Kennedy noted thatPastificio G. Di Martino Penne Mezzani Rigateis his first choice. “Honestly, pasta’s my favorite thing to make because you can add anything to it,” he wrote. “It’s great for the carbs when you’re working out, and this is my favorite brand for dinners when I’m feeling fancy and want something a little extra special. It tastes incredible.”
TheAlo District Trucker Hat“is an amazing brand,” he continued. “Their stuff is very comfy. If I’m ever having a bad hair day — rare, but it happens — I reach for this trucker hat. It makes me feel like I’mAshton Kutcherin the early 2000s.”
AsPEOPLEpreviously reported, Kennedy first appeared with girlfriendAlly Lewberon the red carpet at the2022 iHeart Radio Music Awardsafter sharing an Instagram Story of their car ride to the event.

This recognition is even more remarkable for Bravo’sVPR— which began as a spin-off ofThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills— because none of theReal Housewivesshows have been nominated in the Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program category in the past.
A source toldPEOPLEin June that Leviss, who was recentlyreleased from a mental health facility. has not confirmed whether she’ll return to Bravo cameras forseason 11, noting that her “family doesn’t want her to film, but the cast is betting she appears at some point.”
Tom Sandoval’s best friend andVPRstarTom Schwartz, seemed toconfirm he’s signed onfor the next season in an interview with PEOPLE.
“The team spirit might not be like it was on the Red Planet,” Schwarz, who recently starred in Fox’sStars on Marscompetition series, said. “I don’t know what it’s going to look like. I will say I’m excited and grateful that we have a new season… I don’t know what to expect, honestly, but I know it’s going to be a good season. I’ll say that.”
