Brandi Redmond Has Adopted a Baby Boy


BravoTV.com:
Brandi Redmond's dream of growing her family has finally come true. The Real Housewives of Dallas mom shared that she and husband Bryan Redmond adopted an infant son, Bruin Charles, this past winter.

Brandi recently opened up to PEOPLE about her adoption journey. “It’s changed our lives forever,” she shared. “We are obsessed with him, my whole family is. We’re just so blessed.”

Brandi expressed her desire to give daughters Brooklyn, 9, and Brinkley, 6, another sibling last season of RHOD. She revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage while trying to grow her family and explored with her OBGYN what challenges lie ahead for her as she tried to get pregnant with baby No.3. But after failing to conceive, Brandi and Bryan decided to stop trying for another baby, according to PEOPLE.

But at the beginning of 2018, Brandi got a call from a friend connected to a social worker who told the family about Bruin. Bruin was born prematurely on December 31, weighing 4 pounds and 5 ounces and measuring 18 inches. His biological parents were teenagers, who awarded him to the state at birth. Social workers had trouble finding a family who wanted a son until they found Brandi and Bryan. “It happened pretty much overnight,” Brandi told PEOPLE. “He was in the neonatal intensive care unit because he was born prematurely, so we flew out of Dallas — he was still in Texas —and we met him in the hospital. We just immediately fell in love.”

Is Kenya Moore Expecting Twins?


CelebrityInsider.com:
Kenya Moore is facing a ton of rumors when it comes to her pregnancy and her marriage to Marc Daly, and she recently addressed them by saying all is well in her little world.

The former beauty queen explained that all is going smoothly and that she is currently working on living arrangements for her growing family.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star confessed that she often travels between Atlanta, where she has a mansion and New York where Marc runs his restaurant and has a home. 

For the moment, they have not decided where they will raise the baby who is due to be born later this year. 

Kenya is very careful when she is talking about her pregnancy because she does not want to reveal too much — the former beauty queen made it clear that she wants to being a safe place before her big reveal to the world.

However, there was a portion of Kenya’s recent interview with The Daily Dish that caught her fans’ attention — Kenya said the size of her family will determine where she lives — could she be having twins?

Gizelle Bryant Has Fiery Faceoff with Boyfriend Sherman Douglas' Ex-Wife


People.com:
The word on the street is that Gizelle Bryant will come face-to-face with boyfriend Sherman Douglas‘ ex-wife this season on The Real Housewives of Potomac.

PEOPLE has the exclusive premiere of the midseason trailer, in which Bryant appears to sit down with Kyndall Douglas for a tense conversation.

“You tried to take a shot and you missed,” the EveryHue Beauty mogul apparently tells Kyndall, who was married to Sherman for 11 years before divorcing in 2012 (the former couple have two kids together). “If I take a shot, I don’t miss.”

Of course, Bryant has some drama of her own with Sherman.

According to costar Ashley Darby, “Sherman hasn’t been to anything” — something Bryant alluded to in recent episodes as she explained Sherman’s anger over an article PEOPLE published about their relationship.

NeNe Leakes Reveals Husband Gregg Has Been Hospitalized for 15 Days


People.com:
NeNe Leakes‘ husband Gregg has been hospitalized once again.

NeNe, 50, revealed the news to her Instagram followers Monday — six months after a November episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta documented Gregg, 63, being hospitalized for a “dangerously low” heart rate.

In a video shared with fans, NeNe explained that she was canceling two of her upcoming stand-up comedy shows due to Gregg’s recent hospitalization.

“First of all, I just want to say that I feel very blessed and extremely lucky to be able to do what I do. I’m so grateful that you guys purchased tickets to see me everywhere,” she began. “I have to cancel my Albany, New York show and my New York City Caroline’s show. Today marks the 15th day straight that Gregg has been in the hospital.”

“I find it very difficult to stand on stage and laugh and have a good time and give you guys your money’s worth knowing that my husband is in the hospital not feeling well,” she continued. “He has said to me over and over again, ‘Go on, go out there, have a good time, do the show, I’m going to be fine.’ But I find it mentally very hard for me to do that.”

“Gregg will be out of the hospital this week,” she added. “He will be stronger, he will be better and we will be out here doing this show again in no time. Thank you for loving me! Thank you so much.”

Does Shannon Beador Have A New Boyfriend?


ChampagneandShade.com:
Shannon Beador surprised everyone when she told her co-stars and viewers that she and David Beador had decided to separate. She shared the news during the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion special last year, sharing that it was brand new and that they had only been separated for about 6 weeks. It was all very new to her, and she cried as she had to explain the status of her marriage.

However, it didn’t take David Beador long to move on from his estranged wife. While it’s uncertain where their divorce stands now, David was quickly spotted with another blonde woman on Instagram. The former The Real Housewives of Orange County star was ready to date again, even though Shannon wasn’t in the same spot. However, these days, it appears that she could be venturing into the dating game again. This week, she was spotted on Instagram with another man and fans immediately thought she was dating again.

If Shannon Beador is indeed dating again, it would be a positive move in the right direction. Many viewers didn’t like David Beador in the end because he was anything but supportive of his wife. When she was trying to weight, for example, he would eat chips right in front of her.

Carole Radziwill Says Bethenny Frankel Has an ‘Ego,’ Defends Ex-Boyfriend Adam Kenworthy


USmagazine.com:
The feud lives on. Carole Radziwill slammed her “self-righteous” Real Housewives of New York City costar Bethenny Frankel and claimed the Skinnygirl creator let her “ego” get the best of her after her charity work in Puerto Rico.

“I’m glad to see my friend Bethenny step outside her affluent bubble, with her stream of rich boyfriends, rich friends with private planes, million dollar homes, and five-star resort vacations. One gets the impression this is the first time she’s witnessed real poverty,” Carole, 54, wrote on her Bravo TV blog about the Wednesday, May 16, episode of RHONY, which followed Bethenny, 47, and Dorinda Medley’s visit to Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.

“It can be life-changing,” Carole continued. “I know it was for me, many years ago when I first covered tragedies as a journalist … It is a good use of celebrity, and I hope this journey will make Bethenny a wiser and kinder person closer to home too. From the looks of it she’s got a ways to go.”

Bethenny made headlines back in October 2017 when her charity, BStrong, raised “over a million [dollars] in planes, cash and donations” for Hurricane Maria victims. The Naturally Thin author alleged in the May 16 episode of RHONY that she tried to include Carole’s on-again, off-again boyfriend Adam Kenworthy in her Puerto Rico mission as a photographer, but he declined because it did not pay. Carole denied Bethenny’s claims in her blog.

“Unlike Bethenny, Adam was 23 and dead broke when he created and ran an actual licensed charity. A not-for-profit that helped sustain a small farming community in Nicaragua. He fundraised and took money from his rent budget in order to keep the charity afloat. No five-star hotels, camera crews, or privates planes to jet in and out of disaster zones, but still he managed to do this and so much more,” she wrote. When Harvey hit last summer, Bethenny was partying in Ibiza, I was taking care of a friend whose husband had passed away, and Adam was working hard commuting three hours between clients each day.”

Carole also defended herself after Bethenny said she did not work during the May 16 episode, writing, “All I’ll say about the latest bunch of insults, including the bizarre claim that I don’t have a career, is this: I will put my resume up against Bethenny Frankel’s any day of the week … When Bethenny was auditioning for B movies, I was traveling for ABC News to places similar to what you saw in Puerto Rico.”

Bethenny Frankel on Tension with Carole Radziwill: 'It’s A Little Bit Difficult'


People.com:
Bethenny Frankel is one strong woman — but even she needs a break sometimes.

While attending the PEOPLE and Entertainment Weekly Upfront party in New York City on Monday, the Real Housewives of New York City star opened up about why this season was particularly challenging for her.

One big issue? Her friendship with costar Carole Radziwill. Though the two used to be inseparable, this season has suggested that a rift has formed — though it’s unclear why exactly. (They don’t even follow each other on Instagram.)

“You know, listen, I care about Carole,” Frankel, 47, told PEOPLE. “We met on the show, and so our interactions will air in real time on the show. That can be challenging because I’m not one of these people that’s going to hide what’s going on with my friend and not have it on camera, because we both made this commitment to viewers to be honest, and it can be challenging.”

“So I’m very subtly going through what we are going through — subtly and honestly,” she continued. “It’s a little bit difficult. The whole season was a little bit challenging for me, truthfully. Working so much, I’ve filmed [other] television shows and I’m a mom, which is very important to me, obviously — and I just cracked at the end of the season. I’m not used to that either, so it’s a very different, unsettling season for me.”

Lisa Vanderpump's Brother Found Dead of Suspected Drug Overdose


FOXNews.com:
TV personality and restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump is calling her brother’s death “a shock to us all,” according to a report in the Daily Mail Sunday.

The British tabloid reported that 59-year-old Mark Vanderpump, who worked as a DJ, died of a suspected drug overdose at his home in Gloucestershire, England, on April 30.

It’s unclear it the fatal overdose was accidental or deliberate, according to the paper.

An email from Fox News to Vanderpump's media rep for comment Sunday was not immediately returned.

Sources said Vanderpump has been left devastated and is traveling to the UK for the funeral, the Daily Mail reported.

She has not been seen in public or on social media since news of his death.

“This has come as a shock to us all,” she said in a statement to the paper. ”My brother and I had connected the day before this tragedy and I was completely unprepared for this.”

She added, “He was my only sibling and I am shocked and saddened by his passing. I am trying to be supportive to his two young sons that he has left behind, and help them get through this tragedy. We appreciate your consideration in this private and extremely difficult family time."

Vicki Gunvalson Announces That She's Returning for Season 13 of The Real Housewives of Orange County


BravoTV.com:
So far, we've announced that Kelly Dodd, Tamra Judge, and Shannon Beador will be returning to The Real Housewives of Orange County for Season 13. But they're not the only RHOC veterans we'll see next season. 

None other than the OG of the RHOC Vicki Gunvalson will be back for Season 13. We first met Vicki and her family in the very first season of RHOC in 2006, and she has appeared in every single season of the series ever since. 

Last season of RHOC, we saw Vicki's romance with boyfriend Steve Lodge blossom. Unfortunately, her friendships with Tamra and Shannon were not in such a good place. After some emotional moments with Tamra during the ladies' trip to Iceland (Vicki also experienced a health scare during that vacation), Vicki's relationship with Tamra and Shannon seemed to move in a positive direction at the Season 12 reunion as the three embraced during the sit-down's conclusion.

Since the reunion, Vicki and Steve's relationship has remained as strong as ever. The couple celebrated their second anniversary in April. She visited her daughter, Briana Culberson, and her family in her new home of North Carolina after they moved out of Orange County last fall. Vicki has also shown her support for Briana, who has undergone multiple surgeries over the past few months.

So there you have it. Vicki, Shannon, Tamra, and Kelly will all be back for more RHOC next season. Their Season 12 castmates Meghan King Edmonds, Lydia McLaughlin, and Peggy Sulahian previously confirmed that they will not be returning next season.

What Happened When Kim DePaola Came Face to Face with Dr. Terry Dubrow


BravoTV.com:
Kim DePaola can't say enough good things about how Dr. Terry Dubrow fixed her life — and her previously, um, botched boob job, as fans will get to see on Botched this week. And, it truly was a bit of a meeting of the Bravolebs when The Real Housewives of New Jersey pal came face to face with former Househusbands Terry and Dr. Paul Nassif.

"Well, I knew a little bit about her and I knew that she just had that really terrible thing happen to her. That's not necessarily a good place to be in when you're gonna have difficult, revisional, high-risk plastic surgery," Terry told The Daily Dish, referring to a tragic incident involving her car that left two people dead last year. "So, I was really concerned."

But, Terry saw a different side of the Garden State boutique owner. "You know what's funny? I know her what her reputation was on Housewives being very argumentative [but] when they need help, and they have high-risk plastic surgery — she was so normal, so cool, and just wanted to be fixed. She was funny. I liked her. She actually turned out to be a patient I really liked [and] was a lot of fun to work with."

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing, Terry noted: "Very difficult problem. We had a bit of a complication that was hard to deal with, but she was very cool."

Charrisse Jackson Jordan Has Recorded a "Sexy" Rap Song About Being Back on the Market


BravoTV.com:
While she might not be holding a glass this season, the champagne queen Charrisse Jackson Jordan is definitely still making Season 3 of The Real Housewives of Potomac bubble over with drama. "Shady Bitch" moment, anyone? Since we last saw her at the Season 2 reunion, what has Ms. Jackson Jordan been up to? Well, Sha-Sha is back, on the prowl, and dropping hits! 

As of May 2018, Charrisse is still currently in the process of divorcing her husband Eddie Jordan. "My divorce from Eddie is still dragging, and each day I’m hoping that we get closer and closer to being over," she said. But this process has not stopped her from moving forward with her life — and even a new music career! 

Charrisse recently has recorded a rap single and is currently finalizing it in production. "I was inspired to go into the studio and do a rap due to people loving the rap that was shown Season 1," explained Charrisse. "[People were] constantly asking and encouraging me to do it." The song is called "Too Bad" and in it, Charrisse faces her newfound single status head on. "To sum it up, in a nutshell, I am talking about being on the market," said the rapper. "And I am checking out potentials." And it sounds like Sha-Sha is not holding back: "It’s a fun song. Some of the lyrics are very suggestive with a sexy vibe to it." We can only hope it will premiere with an equally fun and sexy music video. She does have a champagne room, after all. (Hint, hint, Charrisse!) The release date, according to Sha-Sha, has yet to be determined, but she is "looking forward to sharing it with everyone soon." 

The changes continue for Charrisse this year as her youngest child, daughter Skylar, heads to college. "I’m having a ball watching Skylar grow through her senior year of high school — from proms to college tours — Spelman being her school of choice," she shared. And with her son already in college, Charrisse is excited to start a new chapter in her life: "We’ve been enjoying our bonding time as mother and daughter as I embrace my next chapter as an empty nester."

Danielle Staub Marries Fiancé Marty Caffrey


USmagazine.com:
Putting the wife in housewife! Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub wed Marty Caffrey on Saturday, May 5, Us Weekly can exclusively confirm.

The wedding was held on the beach at sunset on the Bahamian island of Bimini, with Staub’s former RHONJ castmate Teresa Giudice serving as matron honor, while Melissa Gorga and Margaret Josephs were bridesmaids.

Staub, who wore a Pnina Tornai gown, spoke to Us Weekly exclusively hours before the nuptials and admitted she was a “little nervous” as a stream of visitors came by.

“All my family, my friends, everyone’s checking in with me, and I’m like, ‘Guys, I haven’t showered, I still haven’t showered, and I’m getting married today,'” she told Us with a laugh.

As she prepared to walk down the aisle, Staub admitted that she was “excited to be a wife.”

“It’s different when you’re a girlfriend, and then it’s different when you’re a fiancée, the stages are all different. When it gets real, and we did our rehearsal last night, and we did our fake I do’s, it’s like, oh my God, we’re almost married,” she said. “This is happening I felt like, when I saw his family last night for the first time after our rehearsal, on the beach, I felt them looking at me like I was a wife. And to me, and my daughters, looking at him like he is my husband. And I think it definitely made it super profound for me.”

Staub, 55, is set to return for RHONJ season 9. A source previously told Us that Bravo cameras will capture her nuptials.

NeNe Leakes Shares Her Biggest Money Mistake and Love for The Dollar Store


BravoTV.com:
The life of NeNe Leakes is definitely a fabulous one, but that doesn't mean The Real Housewives of Atlanta comedian splurges away all of her coins. In fact, NeNe recently told InStyle that she's "actually a really big saver." 

NeNe got real about all things money during her conversation with InStyle, revealing that she's a bargain shopper, hitting up discount stores like Neiman Marcus Last Call, Nordstrom Rack, and T.J. Maxx for most of her fashion needs. 

But her favorite is the Dollar Store. "I love it there. I really wish I could open one up," she told InStyle. "If you want some good-ass wine glasses, you go to the Dollar Store. Most wine glasses are very thin and break when you put them in the dishwasher. Well honey, the Dollar Store has got some thick ones, same with martini glasses. Whenever I have a party at my house, I go buy boxes of plain white plates there too. The sales person always looks at me and goes, 'Oh my gosh, that’s NeNe Leakes at the Dollar Store!' I’m like, don’t worry about me. You can have all of this expensive stuff at your party, but your guests will be eating off of Dollar Store plates and they don't even know it."

So what does NeNe splurge on? "I can tell you what's worth a splurge to me: eating. People like to talk about going to clubs and stuff, like my club is the restaurant. I'm the girl that orders everything off the menu. One of this, one of that, I want to taste everything. I like to splurge on rounds and rounds of good cocktails too," she shared. "I also spend a lot on my vacations. I fly first class, but honestly I would rather fly coach in order to have a great hotel. You don't really know if any of them are clean, so I want to sleep in a nice hotel and order good room service."

Bethenny Frankel Opens Up About the "Shift" in Her Friendship with Carole Radziwill



Bravo.com:
Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill have teased that their close friendship is not what it used to be, both on The Real Housewives of New York City and in interviews since this season began. And now that the new season of RHONY is airing, Bethenny and Carole are getting a chance to see what the other has said about their relationship on the show. 

In fact, Carole has already responded to one of Bethenny's comments that she made during an interview on RHONY in which she claimed that Carole always needs to have a best friend by her side. "No, it's not true. Everything that Bethenny says about me is not true," Carole said during the April 25 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. "That wasn't the friendship I was having with her at the time, so I was just as surprised as the audience was to hear all of that. I was just being a really good friend, wrote a lot of checks for her charity."

So when Bethenny appeared on WWHL Wednesday night, Andy Cohen asked her for her thoughts on Carole's response. Bethenny confirmed that "there was a shift" in her friendship with Carole. She also teased that "it gets more intense" this season.

Kristen Taekman: ‘Real Housewives’ Made My Marriage Stronger


PageSix.com:
After two seasons on the “Real Housewives of New York,” model turned fashion blogger Kristen Taekman is thoroughly enjoying this year’s catfights from the comforts of her couch.

“I think that this current cast is probably the best they’ve ever had,” Taekman, 41, recently told Page Six. “I think that it takes everyone a couple years to get used to everyone, and I love that they didn’t add anyone new. I caught up the other day, and this is the most amazing chemistry, ever. I think they finally found the right formula of personalities, and I’m excited to see what unfolds.”

Although the cameras aren’t documenting her every move anymore, Takeman re-emerged in the press following 2015’s Ashley Madison scandal in which it was revealed her husband Josh had an account on the site which matches users looking to have an affair.

“We went to therapy on the show, and I think that when couples are married and then they have small kids, everything shifts, and I’m sure it’ll shift again, once the kids grow up and go to college, and I think we were going through a shift,” Taekman said of their time on “Housewives.”

“I think it was good for us to sit back and kind of check in with where we were and made us definitely much stronger as a couple. Kind of coming out the other end of it, I feel like it really puts you to the test in a really good way, I think that’s what we did, and we’re stronger for it,” she continued.

Despite no longer being on “Housewives,” Taekman continues to give fans a glimpse into her life and closet with the style site, Last Night’s Look.

“It’s really turned into a full-time job, which is super exciting,” Taekman explained. “It started off as a hobby, to tell the fans of the show where I got all of my fun looks. In the last two years, it’s really taken off. I work on it every day, and it’s this really fun job.”

A shocking video of an inebriated Countess Luann de Lesseps telling cops she is going to kill them while being arrested and buckled into a police car has surfaced online.

The footage was filmed by an in-car camera when the Real Housewives of New York star was arrested on Christmas Eve last year in Palm Beach, Florida. 

In the video she can be heard protesting, “I’ve done nothing wrong! I’ve done nothing wrong,” before she is taken out of the car, apparently to have her handcuffs adjusted.  

From outside of the car she can be heard saying, “Oh my God I’m gonna get you, I’m gonna get you big time, you’re gonna b… so bad, you gonna be so bad. I’ve done nothing wrong and you’re handcuffing me. Guess what?”

Another voice can be heard saying, “What?”


She is then pushed back into the car, and says, “I want my shoes and my bag and my stuff. Stop touching—don’t touch me. I am going to kill you! I’ll kill you! I will kill you! For what? What did I do?”
