Scheana Shay Isn’t Afraid to Tell It Like It Is

If a salacious reality show about women who party, scream and throw drinks (and/or a few slaps) around isn’t your idea of worthwhile television, then you probably haven’t had the chance to met Scheana Shay. And that is a tragedy.

The stunning 30-year-old actress has spent four seasons on Vanderpump Rules, a spin-off of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, baring her outsized personality to viewers week in and week out. Since Shay has a reputation for telling it like it is, we decided to hit her up for a quick round of “Would You Rather?”.

Would you rather be on Jersey Shore or The Bachelor?

The Bachelor. I would win. Or be in the top two, at least.

Would you rather never speak again or have to say absolutely everything that comes to your mind?

I’d say everything that came to my mind. I basically do that already.

Would you rather be able to change the past or see into the future?

I’d change the past. I don’t want to know what’s in the future. I don’t like surprises, but I also don’t want to know if I die at 32 or something. I’d rather go back and right some wrongs.

Would you rather have no knees or no elbows?

[Laughs.] Oh, that’s a tough one! I guess I would go with no knees because how would I put on my eyelashes without elbows?

Would you rather have child-sized hands or child-sized feet?

I have feet the size of a child’s anyway, so that’s the easy choice.

Would you rather always have your first name spelled wrong or pronounced wrong?

Spelled wrong. I’m so used to it. People can spell it however they want, but I hate hearing all the different ways they think it’s pronounced. Shay-na, Shine-na, Shawna. I’ve started introducing myself as Shay just because it’s easier for everyone.

Tom Ramshaw knows it better than most: life’s no fun through clear waters.

After skippering his first boat at age 5, racing at the Olympic Games in Rio, and, just last June, competing in the Canada Sail Grand Prix off the coast of Halifax, Ramshaw has spent a lifetime on the water.

Years at sea yield virtues like instinct and adaptability. That’s what it takes to compete at the top. Yet the Toronto-born sailor, now 34, says it was never about the trophies. “I just want to enjoy the experience of competing for Canada on the biggest stage in the sport,” he says. His real hope? Watching “the next generation of young Canadians doing it even bigger and better than my generation.”
The Film Issue is here. Two decades after Black Hawk Down and Pearl Harbor, Josh Hartnett has long since outgrown the archetypal hero. This September, we sit down with one of cinema’s most sought-after talents ahead of TIFF—with Verity and Below on the horizon, what’s next is his most compelling work yet.
