Jax Taylor hasn’t been the number one guy in the group in a long time now. Vanderpump Rules has moved on with a new generation of SURvers, and he was dropped from the spinoff show, The Valley, amid his contentious split with Brittany Cartwright. And yet, he has once again managed to make himself the center of attention due to his romantic choices. On Monday, TMZ published photos of Taylor getting cozy with his and Cartwright’s longtime shared publicist, Lori Krebs.
