Kim Richards Could Be Jail Bound for Shoplifting Case

1:55 PM PST -- A rep for Kim showed up in court and conceded Kim had no proof she'd made progress in completing her AA classes or community service. The judge withdrew the warrant and set a probation violation hearing for June 3. The judge could throw Kim in jail after the hearing if he determines she didn't make a sufficient dent in the classes or community service.

9:40 AM PST -- The bench warrant has now been signed by a judge. Bail was set at $26,000.

Kim Richards is staring down an arrest warrant in her shoplifting case because she's ditching her AA classes ... as far as the court is concerned, anyway.

TMZ has learned the judge is about to issue a warrant for the 'RHOBH' star. Our sources say Kim never turned in documentation to prove she's attended the number of AA classes ordered in her plea deal.

Kim's been struggling in all her cases. As we've reported ... the judge in her Beverly Hills arrest already scolded her for not doing community labor, and shot down her foot injury excuse.
She's supposed to do a total of 52 AA classes and 30 days community labor for the shoplifting arrest -- but if she doesn't present some proof, STAT ... she'll be doing jail time.

Ramona Singer's Daughter Avery Isn't Loving Her Single-and-Ready-to-Mingle Status

People.com:

Ramona Singer isn't wasting any time diving back into the dating pool, but one person isn't happy about it.

The Real Housewives of New York City star tells PEOPLE Now that she's been happily mingling since her divorce from ex Mario Singer was finalized six months ago.

"I'm having a great time," says Singer, 59. "I'm meeting all types of people, going out with all types of people. I got out of a marriage of 23 years, and I think it's time to go out and have some fun."

But as Singer's love life has heated up, it's created friction with her daughter Avery, 21.

Singer quipped that the college student grouses, "You know, you just only got divorced and already you've had boyfriends, and I don't even have one. I don't get it mom!"

Among those boyfriends, Singer shares that she "did have a serious relationship for four or five months," but a close friend made her realize she wasn't ready to settle down again.

More recently, Singer says "this gorgeous actor" she met at a 2016 Tribeca Film Festival after-party took her number and asked her out.

Though she did insist the actor is well-known, Singer held firm on protecting his identity: "I'm not saying his name."

Erika Jayne Strips To Bra & Lingerie and Bares Butt In Thong For ‘Galore’

HollywoodLife.com:

Erika Girardi, (A.K.A.), Erika Jayne, 44, has just revealed the sexiest photoshoot she has ever done and it is flawless. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star didn’t leave much to the imagination when she stripped down to just her lingerie, and flaunted her butt in a thong for Galore! The blonde bombshell had so much to discuss about her career, friends, and personal life. Check it all out here!

When asked how she deals with jealousy between women, (RHOBH has a whole lot of that!), she said, “You have to rise above it all. You cannot engage in that stuff. I don’t care what they say to you or what they do to you—you cannot buy into it. That says more about them than it does about you.

You have to focus on your job, what you’re there to do, and you truly have to roll with the punches. You don’t need to be a punk or lay down, but what you can’t do is engage in the petty sh*t. It will just tear you down. You have to know what to fight for and pick and choose your battles.”

Erika is our fave RHOBH, but we still don’t know a whole lot about her! “I think that people see me as compassionate. I’m very sensitive. I worry about other people. I have a lot of empathy. I think that’s the thing that people might not see, because there’s so much other stuff going on, like hair, boobs, and makeup. Perhaps people don’t see that.”

As for advice that Erika Girardi gives Erika Jayne, it’s as simple as this — “Relax! It’s not that serious.”

Erika is featured nearly completely naked in the photoshoot. She is sitting braless, in a sheer black dress and you can completely see her nipples. Then there’s the pic of her standing on the steps in lingerie and she’s flaunting her bare butt in a tiny little lace thong.

Tension Between Carole Radziwill and Luann de Lesseps Continues on Real Housewives of New York City

EOnline.com:

The tension between Carole Radziwill and Countess Luann de Lesseps on The Real Housewives of New York City is as think and gooey as a marshmallow. The two finally came face-to-face at Bethenny Frankel's birthday party after months of not seeing each other. You may recall the last time they did at the season seven reunion, well, they weren't exactly on friendly terms. In fact, they were screaming at each other.

"I don't know what you're looking at Lu," Carole says in the exclusive RHONY preview below.

"Well, we have to talk eventually. It's just good seeing you. We haven't seen each other in so long," Luann tells her.

For those just joining us, Carole started dating Adam Kenworthy after meeting him at Luann's house last season. And all of last season (and the months that followed) Luann spoke out about their relationship and what it did to her family. Adam had previously dated Luann's niece. Now Carole and Adam have been together for over a year.

It's a new season and Luann seems eager to bury the hatchet, but Carole has no interest in being friends with her.

"Listen, we said a lot of hurtful things to each other," Luann says.

"We did not say a lot of hurtful things to each other," Carole says.

"Yes we did," Luann maintains.

"You said a lot of hurtful things to me, about me, about my relationship, about Adam. I can go on and on," Carole says.

Tiffany Hendra Sets the Record Straight About Porn Past

PageSix.com:

In order to embrace her new life in the spotlight, Tiffany Hendra had to confront her past.

“At first, I was shocked because it’s such a strong label and I just had to set the record straight,” the “Real Housewives of Dallas” bombshell said during a Twitter chat with Page Six on Monday.

Hendra, 45, who starred in several adult films under her maiden name, Tiffany Bolton, admitted the “porn” label was a tough pill to swallow.

“I never thought the word ‘porn’ would be used, because it’s not porn,” she continued.

As the newest Bravo star, the Texan revealed that she had to revamp her beauty regimen to compete with the first ladies of Dallas.

“I had to step it up on a notch. These women dress to the nines,” Hendra explained. “I had to turn down my Cali boho-chic to go high-glam. And the women wear makeup just to go to the grocery store!”

While her husband of 12 years, Australian rocker Aaron Hendra, adores her as she is, she also revealed her Texas-size confidence booster.

“Love yourself as you are and appreciate your own unique gift,” she said. “Don’t compare yourself to other girls.”

Lisa Vanderpump Cries While Discussing Her Abusive Ex in 'RHOBH' Season 6 Reunion Part 2 Sneak Peek

USmagazine.com:

Remembering the pain. Lisa Vanderpump breaks down in tears while discussing her previous abusive relationship in part 2 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' season 6 reunion on Tuesday, April 26, as seen in Us Weekly's exclusive sneak peek.

The Bravo series' preview clip shows Eileen Davidson telling the Sur boss, 55, that it was "incredibly offensive" for her to write in her blog in January that Davidson shouldn't have discussed on an episode that she was the victim of domestic violence.

In the blog, Vanderpump, who is marred to Ken Todd, mentioned that she, too, had been in an abusive relationship.

When host Andy Cohen asks when the Vanderpump Rules star's abusive relationship took place, the restaurateur replies, "Oh, my god — I was 19, and I was threatened and physically hurt."

Cohen then asks how long the pair were together. "The relationship was quite a long time," replies Vanderpump, who proceeds to get very emotional in the clip.

LeeAnne Locken Is Not Over the Infamous Poop Hat Yet

EOnline.com:

A word to the wise for anyone thinking about bothering The Real Housewives of Dallas' LeeAnne Locken with some nonsense: Don't even try it.

In this sneak peek of tonight's new episode, exclusive to E! News, LeeAnne's still plenty perturbed by her co-star Brandi Redmond's poop hat antics at last week's Mad Hatter's Gala—and she's letting Cary Deuber and Stephanie Hollman know it.

"Do you not teach your children that there are places to be appropriate and places to not be appropriate?" she asks as the ladies try and defend their friend's fecal matter foolishness.

"Here's the thing—and you probably know my reputation—I'm fun as the day is long, but if you bow at me, I will bow back," she tells the pair. "If I'm being a bitch, I'm going to sharpen my tongue and put you in a little puddle."

Consider us all warned.

Elsewhere in the episode, Brandi, Cary and Stephanie have a booze-fueled night out at a male strip club that causes problems for the poop enthusiast and her husband Bryan, Tiffany features Cary's closet in her web series, and Brandi's mom shares a family secret that throws Brandi for a serious loop.

Eileen Davidson Slams Kim Richards For Her Erratic Behavior On ‘RHOBH’ Reunion Part 2

OKmagazine.com:

Lisa Rinna and Kim Richards got into one of the most heated and aggressive fights in Real Housewives history with the argument ultimately ending with a smashed wine glass on the table in Amsterdam.

They two never really reached peace after the altercation and have since kept their feud alive with passive aggressive jabs at each other. Kim struggled with most with her sobriety and entered into a rehab program, which explained a lot of her bizarre behavior during the season.

During Part II of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion, host Andy Cohen brings up the fight in hopes of finding a resolution.

Rinna explains that she is deeply affected by drugs and alcohol because her sister died of an overdose. “Maybe I’m human. That was then and this is now. I’m moving forward,” she says.

Kim accepts the terms of Rinna’s half-apology but Eileen Davidson isn’t so quick to let the former child actress off the hook.

“Clearly we didn’t invent your behavior,” Eileen insists and brings up her disastrous party last season during which Kim was clearly not herself.

Kenya Moore's "Moore Manor" Is Almost Done & Boyfriend Matt Is Moving In

Wetpaint.com:

Another day, another sneak peek inside Moore Manor that’s guaranteed to make you super envious of Kenya Moore.

So far as we know, the Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member hasn’t permanently relocated to her new abode just yet, but the modern manse is nearly complete and the Miss USA winner is eager to show off her massive closet.

In a video shared to Instagram on April 16, Kenya is seen standing inside her “giant” master closet taking in the “racks on racks on racks on racks.”

The RHoA star skips around the large space — which is big enough to be a bedroom, let’s be honest — and twirls passed tons of shelf space that will make her designer gowns and fancy shoes very comfortable. The full-length window isn’t bad either.

As for who’s filming the video? We can’t say for certain, but our best guess would be Kenya’s doting boyfriend, Matt Jordan, who (we think) can be heard laughing in the background.

Speaking of Matt, Kenya Instagrammed (and later deleted) a photo of his closet, and, aside from all but confirming Matt’s moving in with her, that space was nothing to sneeze at either.

She captioned the pic, which featured just one of Matt’s t-shirts resting on a hanger, “I caught @mattjordan_livefastfitness trying to claim #hiscloset space with this lonely tshirt and wire hanger! #fail #mooremanor. Gotta love him for trying though hehehe.”

Today, April 19, the 45-year-old shared a photo of the exterior of her new home, sharing that she was starting to move some of her belongings inside.

LuAnn De Lesseps Claims The ‘Real Housewives Of New York’ Will Not Be Invited Her Wedding

Inquisitr.com:

Countess LuAnn de Lesseps is getting ready to enter a new phase in her relationship with Thomas D’Agostino. The reality star recently announced her engagement and is already making plans for her upcoming wedding. While de Lesseps is sparing no expense for the extravagant ceremony, a few of her Real Housewives of New York co-stars may not get an invite.

In an interview with Radar Online, de Lesseps revealed that she is using her off-time to plan the wedding. The ceremony is scheduled to take place over New Year’s weekend and includes three days worth of events. De Lesseps didn’t name anyone in particular, but she did reveal that only a few of her fellow Housewives will receive invites.

“I’m so happy we’re on a hiatus [from the show] and I can just focus on planning my wedding, and devoting my time to my man and my kids… I’m inviting some of the ladies. Not all of them have made it to the list.”
The event is expected to take place in Palm Beach, Florida, over the holiday season. According to Romper, D’Agostino spends a lot of time in Palm Beach whenever he is away for business, which is the main reason why they decided on that location for the festivities.

Get To Know Brandi Redmond From The Real Housewives Of Dallas

Kim Fields Changes Mind, May Return to 'Real Housewives of Atlanta'

ADW.com:

After Kim Fields was practically run off the “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” and blaming Kenya Moore for her decision to leave, Fields is now considering a return for Season 8.

Just last week, Fields attributed her decision to walk away after just one season of RHOA to Kenya Moore constantly questioning the masculinity of her husband, Christopher Morgan, and derisively calling him Chrissy.

The iconic former star of “Facts of Life” and “Living Single” seemed out of place during her inaugural season on RHOA and many fans of the show called for her ouster. And after Moore and others mocked Fields’ husband’s sexuality, she agreed she needed to leave.

Fields told Hello Beautiful that she may have had a change of heart, stating:

“No decisions have been made about RHOA, as I am focusing on my dancing adventure.”

But Fields, a current contestant on the ultra-popular “Dancing with the Stars,” says her decisions regarding her career are solely motivated by what she thinks is best for herself and her family.

“Any and all decisions made about my career are based on those factors, period,” she added.

Amber Marchese Defends Husband Jim, Slams "Disgusting" Domestic Violence Reports

EOnline.com:

Former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jim Marchese was arrested and charged for domestic violence Tuesday night, but his wife, Amber Marchese, tells E! News in a statement that the reports are false.

"Domestic violence is not a joke, and having my husband be accused of such a heinous act is not only hurtful but damaging personally, emotionally and professionally. I would never let myself be a victim of anything or anyone," she tells E! News. "Jim and I were on our way back from LA on a 'red eye' after filming a new TV project. We were actually talking about hooking up and joining the 'mile high' club. Some heavy PDA was involved, just the opposite of what certain people reported they saw."

The reality TV stars prepared to sit back, relax and enjoy the flight, but the situation would suddenly change. "After that brief bit of fun between us we prepared for takeoff and I ordered a glass of white wine. I was peacefully sipping my wine and Jim was sleeping when we were asked to leave the plane. Confused and scared our first thoughts were 'did something happen to our kids???' No explanations or answers were given to our questions and we were immediately separated," she continues.

"All I wanted was my husband Jim so we could figure out what happened and how to help the authorities by answering any questions. All Jim wanted was to make sure I was ok. We asked why we're being removed from the plane. We complied with everyone involved from the flight attendant to the authorities."

According to a statement from the Los Angeles airport's police, officers were called to Terminal 3 after an incident arose inside the aircraft.

"At the request of officers, a male suspect and a female victim left the aircraft," the police told E! News at the time. "Additional questioning revealed the suspect had grabbed the victim by the throat and made threats against her. Suspect James Marchese was arrested and transported to LAPD Pacific Division where he was booked."

But Amber tells us she did not file the complaint of domestic violence.

"Through this entire stressful situation my husband was nothing but a gentleman and never once lost his composure. To be crystal clear there was no complaint of domestic violence, signs of distress or request for assistance made by myself and there was no wrong doing by my husband. At no time did my husband ever choke me or threaten me in any way shape or form," she clarifies, adding that her marriage has always been relatively smooth.

Phaedra Parks Went To Court Over Alleged “Criminal Enterprise” With Apollo Nida

TheSource.com:

Real Housewives Of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks is spending her 4/20 standing in front of a judge defending her innocence against claims of running a criminal enterprise with her estranged husband Apollo Nida.

After four years, Parks’ defamation lawsuit against author Angela Stanton will receive a summary hearing today [April 20], and if the judge denies judgement the two will head to a Thursday morning trial in Georgia, RadarOnline reports.

For those who haven’t been following the case, Stanton wrote a book entitled Lies of a Real Housewife: Tell The Truth & Shame The Devil in which she claims Phaedra and Apollo were running a “criminal enterprise” with everything from fake bank accounts to stolen cars, and even alleged the reality star had a “secret girlfriend.” The result of those claims was Phaedra suing Stanton for defamation in 2012, and Angela firing back with counter claims that Parks has been trying to get dismissed multiple times.

Phaedra has maintained her innocence and has disputed all claims of being associated with her husband’s criminal activities. We will see how this case plays out.

Bethenny Frankel Has Huge Fight with Dorinda Medley's Boyfriend John Mahdessian

EOnline.com:

If you come for Bethenny Frankel, well, just don't. The Real Housewives of New York City star goes toe-to-toe with Dorinda Medley's beau, John Mahdessian, over accusations she stole the Skinny Girl name from SkinnyCow in tonight's episode of the Bravo series and even after a few drinks her wit remains on point.

"You stole the name," John says to her.

"His brand is called SkinnyCow. You're a cow, I'm a girl, that's the difference. SkinnyCow, Skinny Girl," she says to him, not missing a beat.

Obviously this does not sit well with Dorinda, who has just had to deal with Bethenny and Ramona Singer talking about John.

"You don't dare come into my party and start problems with Bethenny," she tells him.

All this happens right after Bethenny talked to Dorinda about John and his behavior and how she feels like Dorinda is always selling him to the group. Not a good look.

"We love each other. You don't know what love is about," John tells Bethenny. "'Cause you don't know what love is."

Dorinda, in her trademark speak, tells the two they have broken her heart. Ick.

Actually, I thought the fight was pretty even with Bethenny and John both getting in some good shots at each other during their argument, but whatever. Upon watching this episode, what was really funny Bethenny being narcissistic enough to think that Dorinda would just dump the guy because she told her to. I mean, they've only been together a few years. Dorinda obviously sees something in him and while I don't think it was cool for John to go behind his gf's back and ask for Bethenny's number. As long as he's not abusing her and Dorinda says she's happy with him, what business is it of anybody's to tell her who to be with?

Dina Manzo Launches Skincare Line

People.com:

Even though Real Housewives fans know of her interior design work, even the most dedicated superfan may not know that she actually started out in the beauty business at 16 years old. She practiced doing her friends’ makeup, hanging around the local beauty store so often they offered her a job.

“My first job was working at a beauty supply store,” she tells PeopleStyle. “And then I went on to own a salon so I’ve been paying attention to skincare all of these years. I never made a lot of noise about it but it’s always been on the forefront of my interest.”

But it wasn’t until she teamed up with SkinResource.MD and its team of dermatologists that she decided to get back into the beauty business. “The first thing that people say when they meet me is — besides, ‘Are you Dina from The Real Housewives?’ — is ‘Your skin absolutely glows. What do you use?’ So I started working with these four amazing dermatologists in California and we came up with a formula that has everything that all the expensive brands have. And I was excited to bring it to the public for a really reasonable price that really works.”

The five-piece kit contains all the essentials of the line (a moisturizers, cleanser, eye treatment and serum) and as Manzo explains, they’re “your basic five products that you can at any age. I have my mom using them — she is 78 years old — and I have my daughter using them, who’s 20, and it’s working on everyone’s skin and it’s making everyone feel their best.”

In addition to working on your skin, Manzo wanted her products to work behind the scenes as well. To that end, the products were never tested on animals, are paraben free and a percentage of all proceeds go to Project Ladybug, her charity that supports children suffering from life-threatening illnesses. “It’s a very conscious product that I am proud to stand behind.”

Ramona Singer Claims Season 8's Vacation Will Top Scary Island

Bustle.com:

When it comes to Real Housewives vacations, nothing tops Scary Island. (Seriously, we ranked them and Scary Island easily held the number one spot.) But it sounds like that's about to change, with the Real Housewives of New York City cast beating their own record. Ahead of the third episode of Season 8, OG RHONY Housewife Ramona Singer tells me of this season's vacation, "We do go on a group trip and I have to say this trip, more than any other one, will make your mouth... drop. Your jaw drop." And, yes, she really does pause for dramatic effect.

Of course, my mind immediately goes to Scary Island, the Season 3 trip where the cast visited The Virgin Islands. The trip involved, among other things, Kelly Bensimon recounting dreams of Bethenny Frankel killing her with a knife, Bethenny yelling at Kelly to "Go to sleep!", Ramona drinking pinot grigio while watching it all go down, and perhaps the best use of jelly beans in all of television history.

Basically, the idea of a trip somehow surpassing Scary Island is hard to believe. But Ramona makes it sound like the trip this season doesn't beat Scary Island by being the same and scarier, but because it's its own beast.

Asked straight out if it tops Scary Island (I needed to know!), Ramona says,

Yeah, because Scary Island was just one or two things that happened. I think, yeah, this is pretty, pretty... It tops Scary — It's different than Scary Island. It's more real. It'll make you mouth drop, but it definitely mirrors real life. And you know what they say: Life can be stranger than fiction.
"Life can be stranger than fiction?!" What does that even mean in the context of a reality show? The 10-year Bravo veteran doesn't share too much about exactly what happens on the trip — she also doesn't share the location; although fellow Housewife Dorinda Medley previously told Bustle the group is headed to both The Berkshires and Miami this season — but Ramona does say,

There’s some revelations that happen that have to be heard and seen to be believed ... It has to do with LuAnn [de Lesseps] and Tom [Thomas D'Agostino, LuAnn's fiancé] and Sonja and me and Bethenny. It’s just everything that happens is off the chart.

Amber Marchese's A-Hole Husband Jim Arrested, Yanked Off Plane ... Allegedly Attacked Amber

TMZ.com:

Former 'Real Housewives' star James Marchese got busted for domestic violence after allegedly getting into a fight with his wife Amber on a plane, but he swears the cops and the airline got it all wrong.

Law enforcement sources tell us the ex-'RHONJ' stars had just boarded their Virgin America red-eye flight at LAX, and before they took off the airline called cops to report James for grabbing Amber by the throat and threatening to hurt her.

LAX PD officers responded and yanked James off the plane. He was booked for felony domestic violence, but Amber immediately showed up at the police station to help bail him out.

We got video of the couple leaving the station ... walking hand in hand. James played it off like nothing happened on the plane, and more than hinted he's taking legal action -- "I guess Virgin Atlantic wanted to take care of my kid's scholarship fund."

Kim Richards Gets Into Fight With Former 'Bad Girls Club' Member Natalie Nunn On 'Mother/Daughter Experiment'

RadarOnline.com:

Kim Richards joined the cast of The Mother/Daughter Experiment: Celebrity Edition in order to repair her fractured relationship with her daughter Kimberly Jackson. But in the midst of filming,

RadarOnline.com has learned that Richards got into a physical altercation with her costar Natalie Nunn!

“There were a lot of tensions that were running high,” Dr. Debbie Magids, the therapist on the show, told Radar. “A lot of emotions were outpouring from these mothers and daughters. It was this very intense situation in a very short amount of time.”

“Things that can take years and years to come out in real time therapy, came out,” she continued. “So I think at that moment in time, there was a lot going on for each person individually, and the tensions rose.”

The stress caused Richards, 51, and Nunn, 31, to fight.

“They had some conflict,” Dr. Debbie said. “I can’t deny that. But it was really coming out of their own issues being touched on.”

For Richards, she was learning for the first time about how her personal issues were taking a toll on her 21-year-old daughter.

“The most important thing that came out for Kim was recognizing the impact her life has had on her daughter Kimberly’s life and all the things that she has been going through and all the things in the public eye really hurt her daughter and created a situation where her daughter had to really worry about her mom and take on the role of caretaker,” Dr. Debbie explained. “Because she’s such a good mom in so many other ways, that was a surprise for her. She had to really wrap her head around it.”

Bethenny Frankel Under Fire After Allegedly Suggesting Black Women Should Hire White Men to Rep Their Businesses

People.com:

Bethenny Frankel has created quite a stir over comments she reportedly made at a women's entrepreneurial summit over the weekend.

According to an entrepreneur named Mary Pryor, who attended Rent The Runway's and UBS's Project Entrepreneur, Saturday in New York City, Frankel, 45, made several inflammatory comments about women in business.

Though there is no recording of the event and a rep for Frankel did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment, Pryor addressed the news via Twitter and later in a Huffington Post article.

"I was one of the women who tried to stand up to reality TV star and Skinny Girl Vodka founder, Bethenny Frankel ... And was silenced," Pryor wrote for HuffPo.

"I was stunned when Frankel implied that women should have sex with men in exchange for capital," Pryor continued. "I was offended when she expressed some kind of kinship with black women because she's 'loud.' And I was taken aback when she advised those of us in the room to get business advice to hire a white man as the face of our companies."

Cary Deuber Talks LeeAnne Locken & Cheating Rumors That Rattled ‘Real Housewives Of Dallas’ Premiere

Inquisitr.com:

Cary Deuber is one of the new housewives on The Real Housewives of Dallas, and it sounds like she’s very excited about her role on the show. But Cary took an interesting approach during the first episode of the show. Rather than wait for the other housewives and stars of the show to talk about her marriage, Cary decided to talk about the marriage rumors that have been plaguing her. As it turns out, people believe that Deuber cheated with her husband while he was still married to someone else. And apparently, the rumors were quick to circulate in Dallas.

According to a new Bravo report, Cary Deuber is now revealing what really happened when she met her husband. On The Real Housewives of Dallas, Deuber revealed that several people and possibly tabloids had an interest in her marriage, and she would prefer to set the record straight before the show really started.

“I love working with my husband. We are a team and provide amazing care for our patients. We are together a lot and this is how we like it.The rumors about our marriage are so old and tired. Mark and I have been married for 6 years and have a 3 year old. I have two step children that I love like my own. I was single and Mark was separated when we first started seeing each other. He was not officially divorced as those proceedings do take time. We did not have an affair. People love drama and gossip so we were a prime target! We just ignore it because we know the truth and so do our children,” Cary Deuber reveals in her first blog post for the show.

Of course, Cary wouldn’t be the first person to have dated a man who is separated. Many people talk about how it is cheating, since he is still legally married, but divorces take a long time. And as Deuber explains, she was single when they started dating. He was already on his way out of the marriage, but such a situation could quickly spiral out of control and result in rumors.

After setting the record straight, Cary decided to tackle the other major issue on The Real Housewives of Dallas: LeeAnne Locken. Several of the housewives clearly had an issue with her, because she’s confident, aggressive, and perhaps a bit too much for some of the ladies. And it sounds like Deuber didn’t get a good impression of her either.

“She is just so aggressive and in your face to the point that you need to behave a certain way at a charity event. I didn’t want to start in on her at Marie’s home. I had just met Marie and would be mortified if I created a scene. I think it is great that LeeAnne is involved with a charity. I just get sick of hearing her talk about it all the time. I do a lot of charity work and I don’t go around flaunting it,” Cary Deuber explains of her co-star, LeeAnne Locken.

Charrisse Jackson Jordan Says Being On 'Real Housewives' Killed Her Marriage

FashionnStyle.com:

One Potomac marriage is over.

On part 2 of "The Real Housewives of Potomac" reunion, Charrisse Jackson Jordan's marriage to Eddie Jordan was brought into question.

Charrisee had mentioned on an earlier episode that she was considering getting a divorce, so reunion host Andy Cohen pressed her for an update.

Charrisse did confirm that her marriage was pretty much over, but she refused to say whether or not she was getting a divorce. However, based on her final Bravo blog of the season, her divorce seems pretty certain, and the show was the final nail in the coffin.

"Being on the show has brought my marriage to a dead end," Charrisse wrote. "We don't really talk and when we do it's not a good conversation. I've come to terms with the demise of my marriage and will be moving forward with my life."

While speaking of her marriage at the reunion, Andy also felt as though Charrisse was holding back from revealing her true thoughts, and he even accused her of being blasé.

Later in the blog, Charrisse denied being blasé and explained her lack of emotion at the reunion.

"I don't think I was being blasé about discussing Eddie. There really isn't much to discuss when it comes to Eddie. Unlike some, I don't sensationalize or make things up," Charrisse stated.

The new season of Real Housewives of New York City picks up right where it left off: with Carole Radziwill playing house with her much younger boyfriend, Adam Kenworthy. But despite the age gap—Radziwill is 52 and Kenworthy is 29—RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal the ins and outs of this serious relationship.

"Things with Adam and I are great," the RHONY star told Radar at the B Floral event held at Studio Arte in NYC on April 7. "I guess it's been a year and a half. Who knew?"

In the first episode of the new season, Radziwill confessed that she has been in nesting mode. But what does that mean about babies?

"We do nest. We have a baby… a baby puppy—a puppy named Baby," she explained. But the couple isn't looking to add any human babies to the mix. "No, no, no, we're not," Radziwill stated. "I feel like I'm beyond the age of having children, so no we don't talk about that."

She also isn't looking to walk down the aisle any time soon. "Like I say in my tagline, I plan for the future, but I live in the moment," Radziwill admitted. "No, we're not talking like that. We're just having a good time and we're taking it day by day."

Dorinda Medley's Boyfriend John Puts The 'Housewives' At Odds

Romper.com:

Significant others can cause major issues on any leg of the Real Housewives franchise (Slade Smiley, anyone?) and in Real Housewives of New York eighth season, the fighting starts again, this time over Dorinda Medley's boyfriend John Mahdessian. It turns out no one seems to like John very much, but the most vocal is certainly Bethenny — and she's quickly backed up by one of Dorinda's oldest friends, Ramona. That's what really sets Dorinda off, culminating in an episode-ending argument that promises to sprawl over to next week (if not the entire season). Dorinda Medley's boyfriend creates drama, and that drama doesn't look like it's going to end any time soon.

The premiere episode of Season 8 gave hints at trouble to come. While at lunch with Dorinda and John (as well as Julianne and her husband), Bethenny could barely contain her distaste for John, even referring to him as a "chubby baby" in the talking head. It ramps up in Wednesday's episode, "An Intimates Affair," in which Bethenny brings her concerns directly to Dorinda. Spoiler alert: it doesn't go very well. In usual Real Housewives fashion, that little spark blows up into raging fire. Bethenny's problem is that Dorinda is always "selling" John to them – and Bethenny's not buying.

Bethenny's issues with John are many, chief among them that he seems like a "salesman" and that he's approached her in the past trying to sell her ideas. She doesn't like how John presents himself (and she really doesn't like that Dorinda Nairs his back for him, but nobody could really blame her for that). Dorinda is understandably not pleased to hear her relationship criticized, but the argument is taken to another level when Ramona decides to support Bethenny's position.

Ramona relates a pretty scandalous friend-of-a-friend story that involved pals of hers overhearing John allegedly saying some unsavory things to a crowd about popping Viagra and spending the night with Dorinda. The fact that Ramona chose to share this story in front of Dorinda's whole party was probably not the best move, and Dorinda blows up. Can you blame her?

Dorinda's angry rant produces some pretty choice lines, including telling Bethenny, "You're not the word according to God! You're not gospel!"

Ramona certainly did come across as 'piling on'. From what we've seen of her interactions with both John and Julianne, Bethenny has issues with both fat and skinny people. And Dorinda can be with whoever she wants to be be with, but she still needs to check her man when it comes to his sometimes boorish behavior.

Brandi Glanville Says She Was "Blackmailed" Into Posting Topless Pic On Instagram

TooFab.com:

Brandi Glanville has a very good reason for posting that nearly-naked photo earlier this week: she was beating someone else to the punch!

On the latest episode of her "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" podcast, the reality TV star explains why she decided to share a topless photo showing her in only a thong on her Instagram page this past Monday. In the pic, she's seen with her backside to the camera, booty on display.

While she said she wanted to prove that "moms are hot," there was actually something a little more sinister behind the post.

"Here's the real deal. I'm very proud of my body, I take good care of it. Mark [Hasche, her hairstylist] took that picture last Christmas when he was taking my weave out," she revealed on her show. "Then I was texting with somebody who I used to date and he very passive aggressively made it known and made it very well aware that he had a lot of sexy pictures with me, so I had better be nice to him in the press."

"I'm like, that's blackmail! It's passive aggressive blackmail," she continues. "I went and looked at what I sent him and I thought, this is probably the most naked one I sent him and get in front of it, put it out there and I know I'm gonna get hate for it, but my ass looks good, I'm happy with it and what, what's he gonna do?"

Now that she's no longer on 'RHOBH', our resident 'Mother of the Year' stays begging for attention.

Bravo Renews ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac’ for Season 2

Variety.com:

Bravo has renewed “The Real Housewives of Potomac” for season two, the cable net announced on Thursday.

One of the new installments of the long-running “Real Housewives” franchise, “Potomac” has been a big success for Bravo, ranking as the second most popular version of the “Housewives,” just behind “Atlanta.”

Just this week, Bravo also debuted “The Real Housewives of Dallas.”

“Potomac’s” renewal comes just ahead of the season’s final episode, the Reunion Part Two, which airs Sunday, April 17, at 8 p.m.

The first season of “The Real Housewives of Potomac” has performed very well for Bravo, averaging 2.1 million viewers in Nielsen’s “live plus-3” estimates — good enough to become the network’s most-watched first season of a series since “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” in 2010. And among both adults 18-49 (1.2 million) and adults 25-54 (1.3 million), it stands as Bravo’s top new series since “Vanderpump Rules” in 2013.

Kim Fields Blames Kenya Moore for Quitting ‘RHOA’

ADW.com:

Kim Fields made it known that she would be saying “deuces” to the “Real Housewives of Atlanta.” But we could only speculate as to why.

Now we know why for sure.

Fields has let it be known that she is leaving RHOA because serial instigator Kenya Moore rel taunted her and her husband with his alleged sexual orientation.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s fans offered a mixed reaction to Kim Fields’ recent admission that she has no plans to return to RHOA after her debut season on the show.

But despite her claims that her time on the Bravo hit was pretty positive, a source speaking to Life & Style revealed that Fields had some serious issues with the RHOA team!

According to the insider, the gay rumors that were shared about her husband, Christopher Morgan, were one of Fields’ biggest points of frustration on RHOA.

The source added that Fields asked that the footage be edited out of the show, but her request was completely denied.

The source said that her nasty feud with Kenya Moore likely made her decision to leave RHOA a lot easier!

“Kenya Moore just kept coming after her,” the source said, adding that she had major issues with the cast’s attitudes and professionalism as well. “Kim felt the network did nothing!” the source continued.

Lisa Vanderpump Goes After Lisa Rinna and Erika Jayne For Being Immature

Enstarz.com:

Lisa Vanderpump took aim at Lisa Rinna and Erika Girardi in her latest Bravo blog.

Following the finale episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season six, Vanderpump reflected on Rinna’s allegations of Vanderpump having manipulated her into spreading claims of Munchausen Syndrome amongst their co-stars.

"We are supposedly mature women. I would be embarrassed to ever insinuate that I would speak on somebody's behalf… That I reached 50-something and I was a woman with children who had been in the public eye for years but still a mouthpiece on subjects I didn't validate,” Vanderpump said in her Bravo TV blog of Rinna’s insinuation that she had been acting out her alleged orders.

Vanderpump continued on about Rinna, claiming she was “baffled” at her “aggressive” behavior towards Kim Richards, who returned to the show for a few episodes after going to rehab after an early 2015 relapse.

"Kim has battled her demons and dealt with it the best way she knows how, enduring a long stint in treatment. To speak so unkindly of her all season resonates and speaks volumes,” Vanderpump wrote.

As for Girardi, Vanderpump claimed she never gave her a chance, and instead chose to team up with Yolanda Foster and the other women.

"Erika apparently joins forces with them, which is a shame. I barely knew her, and she was already incredibly negative in her opinion of me,” Vanderpump explained. "Which was hard to fathom for sure, as I had only been generous in regard to her and Tom. These women joined our group, a group that over the last six years has been fun to watch, and they attack."

Vanderpump then spoke of how housewives have come and gone from the Bravo reality series for the last several years, but didn't reveal who may be leaving the show after season six.

Bethenny Frankel Won’t Do Press With Other ‘Housewives’

PageSix.com:

Bethenny Frankel is a solo act.

Some of her “Real Housewives” co-stars are feeling put out because Frankel won’t do press with them.

While other cast members have done interviews to promote the new season of the Bravo show in pairs or groups, Frankel will only appear alone.

“[Other cast members] feel that although they may be a ‘dysfunctional family,’ they are a family. It’s an ensemble cast,” said an insider.

A rep for Frankel said: “Bethenny appears solo because she has a hugely successful Skinnygirl brand, a TV production company, a compelling personality and is immensely quotable. She’s the perfect guest.”

Katie Rost’s Ex-Boyfriend Shopping Naked Pics of Her

RadarOnline.com:

The scandals for Katie Rost started way before the cameras started rolling! RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned The Real Housewives of Potomac star’s ex-boyfriend has been shopping around nude photos of the Bravolebrity.

Radar was one of the media outlets contacted by the ex-flame, who tried to sell five photos of the reality star ditching her clothes.

In two pictures, which were reviewed by Radar, Rost is photographed in a pink lace bra and unzipped jeans.

In another snap, her breasts are on full display, while Rost wears nothing but a thong in the final photo.
But the pictures may be the least of Rost’s worries, as the man claiming to be her ex also plans to reveal explosive allegations about her alleged hard-partying past and sex life.

Rost has a history of bad luck with men: She left her ex-husband James Orsini when she was four months pregnant.

“It was really hard, but I knew that it was the right thing to do,” she confessed to OKMagazine.com in January. “I knew that I needed my mom and that there was no way I would be able to get through the pregnancy if I didn’t have a lot of support.”

The reality star also revealed on Part One of the RHOP reunion that she has called off her engagement to Andrew Martin. She recently explained in a Bravo blog how they are working on getting back together.

The Real Housewives of Dallas Premiere Features Farts and Pooping Themselves in Labor

EOnline.com:

As the Real Housewives franchise grows with new cities and new ladies who know how to play the reality TV game, things get predictably zanier, including the taglines. Just look at The Real Housewives of Dallas. Bravo's newest entry into the ever-growing franchise stars Brandi Redmond, Cary Deuber, LeeAnne Locken, Stephanie Hollman and Tiffany Hendra and boy do they give the ladies of Atlanta, New York City, New Jersey, Orange County, Beverly Hills and Potomac a run for their money with the intros and personalities that go with them.

The taglines, ranked from worst to best—along with some choice anecdotes from the big premiere—are below.

Tiffany Hendra: "I came to Dallas to shine my light, not to fight." Meh. Tiffany revealed a hard partying past from her time in Hollywood and introduced viewers to her hot rocker husband (complete with Keith Urban hair). She also dropped the biggest bomshell of the episode: she hasn't have garlic bread since 1989. That was a joke, probably, but what a horrifying thought.

Brandi Redmond: "I was a Cowboys cheerleader, but in Dallas I'm never on the sidelines." During her introduction she revealed she started dating her husband to make an ex-boyfriend jealous and now they have a redheaded brood. She was proposed to twice, the first time she had the runs after being in Mexico. Classic. And she calls wine Jesus juice, because the Bible says Jesus turned water into wine. She knows the character she's taking on and this is going to be a wild season.

Stephanie Hollman: "I'm the girl next door…if you live in a big ol' mansion." Stephanie can apparently fart on command and Brandi will then dance in her fart. She gets to-do lists from her husband to make money, but Brandi advises her to just steal the money like she does, which, well, yeah. She also admits her romance was fueled by "Jesus juice" and partying. Farting on command came up more than once in the premiere, so why wasn't that her tagline?

Cary Debuber: "I'm not a trophy wife, I'm a lifetime achievement award." "The silver lining after having breast cancer is to at least get a new pair of tits that are pretty," she said of her charity work in the episode. By the way, her husband's whole family went to her second wedding in Hawaii…he's her third marriage.

LeeAnne Locken: "I grew up a carny kid—Play games with me and you're gonna pay." "They call me the mouth of the South," she says in her first segment on the show before revealing her carnival past. There is no topping this tagline. LeeAnne clearly fancies herself the grande dame of this group of ladies, which they all sort of agree with when it comes to charity work. Pray for an episode where LeeAnne returns to a carnival for an emotional reunion. According to Brandi, LeeAnne has perfected the "nice to meet you" game when interacting with people she's already met. There's going to be no shortage of drama between Brandi and LeeAnne and we are here for that.

It's really all about LeeAnne's carny line. Did you ever imagine there would be a Real Housewives tagline about being a carny? Or Housewives who would so openly talk about their farts and pooping themselves in labor?

The Real Housewives of Dallas airs Mondays, 10 p.m. on Bravo.

Kim Richards Fires Back at Lisa Rinna in 'RHOBH'' Season 6 Finale First Look: 'You Just Threw a Dart at Me'

USmagazine.com:

Aiming at the bull's-eye? Kim Richards and Lisa Rinna get into a heated conversation about the former child star's sobriety in the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' season 6 finale on Tuesday, April 12, as seen in Us Weekly's exclusive sneak peek.

In the preview clip from the Bravo series' new episode, Richards (making her third return cameo of the season) admits to Rinna that the season 5 reunion "was not a very good time." The two had exchanged heated words at last season's reunion, with Richards quipping that there is "something f--king wrong" with the Melrose Place alum.

Richards, 51, confronts Rinna, 52, in the new footage over the fact that the soap star was "enraged" that Yolanda Foster had skipped a dinner party the same day she got lunch with Richards and Brandi Glanville. Rinna replies, "Kim, it's your choice to live your life the way you live your life ... I want you to get better."

The Escape From Witch Mountain actress — who has struggled with her sobriety throughout the course of the series — fires back, "I am better. I felt like that's a dart, like you just threw a dart at me, honestly."

Brandi Redmond: 'We're Ready for the World to See Us'

People.com:

The Real Housewives of Dallas is here, and these Lone Star State ladies are ready to make their big debut.

"It was perfect timing," Stephanie Hollman tells PEOPLE Now of her decision to do the show with pal Brandi Redmond.

"Both of our kids are in school, maybe a little bit of boredom. We have so much fun together so why not?"

This new Real Housewives spin-off follows the over-the-top lives of Hollman and Redmond, along with Cary Deuber, Tiffany Hendra and LeeAnne Locken, as they navigate Dallas' elite social scene.

"We're ready for the world to see us," says Redmond. "Ready for the Band-Aid to come off."

While they may be new to reality TV, one Housewife has already passed on some words of wisdom to the ladies.

"Dorinda [Medley, from The Real Housewives of New York,] gave me so me really great advice she said you have to go into it and have fun. If you're not having fun, you probably shouldn't be doing it," says Redmond.

With plenty of "Jesus Juice" (a.k.a. wine) flowing during filming, there will be no shortage of action from the dynamic duo.

"We're really, really goofy," says Hollman when asked what Housewives veterans they are most like. "I feel like we are very different, but the only two that you can really compare us to if you were going to is maybe Sonja [Morgan] and Ramona [Singer of RHONY] – only when they are really silly."

The Real Housewives of Dallas premieres Monday at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo.
