Luann de Lesseps Celebrates Her Bachelorette Party Without Real Housewives of New York City Cast Mates, But Jill Zarin and Miami Alums Were There

It was girls’ night out on Friday night as soon-to-be-married Luann de Lesseps and 15 of her friends partied at the 51-year-old Real Housewives of New York star’s bachelorette party in Miami!

The event, thrown by Real Housewives of Miami alum Marysol Patton, was held at the famed Peruvian hot spot Coya — where the tight-knit ladies enjoyed a three-course sit-down dinner and an open bar cocktail reception featuring the club’s signature Pisco sour cocktails, a source close to de Lesseps tells PEOPLE.

De Lesseps was all smiles, wearing a sparkly tiara that said “Bachelorette,” a fur shrug and embellished T-shirt that said “Mrs. D’Agostino” — in honor of her fiancé Tom D’Agostino, Jr.

He proposed to her in February with an eight-carat yellow-diamond ring after a few weeks of dating. Their relationship was the fodder for much drama on this season of Bravo’s hit reality show, as D’Agostino, Jr. allegedly had a “friends with benefits” relationship with Housewife Sonja Morgan —and had previously dated Housewife Ramona Singer.

Neither Morgan nor Singer were in attendance at the Miami party. Instead, the night was filled with alums of the Real Housewives franchise, including RHONY’s Jill Zarin and RHOM’s Adriana de Moura and Alexia Echevarria.

All the ladies shared shots of the fun on their Instagram page. It’s the first time Echevarria has been seen out since her husband, Herman, was found dead in his apartment on Sept. 26.

Alexia Echevarria Separates From Husband Herman After 15 Years of Marriage

USmagazine.com:

It’s over. Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Echevarria and her husband Herman Echevarria have decided to separate after 15 years of marriage, a source close to the Bravo star confirms exclusively to Us Weekly.

According to the insider, the Venue magazine founders have been separated for a few months now, and had been struggling with serious issues for a couple of years.

Despite their differences, the now-exes, who are currently living separately, will continue to run Venue magazine together. According to the source, Herman will remain a big presence in the lives of Alexia’s sons from her first marriage, Peter and Frankie. (Alexia was was previously married to drug felon Pedro Luis Rosello, who was sentenced to 24 years in federal prison after being part of one of the largest cocaine smuggling operations in the 1980s.)

However, there’s no chance of reconciliation. The insider tells Us that Alexia has contacted her attorney and will be filing for divorce.

The self-proclaimed Cuban Barbie opened up about her marriage to Herman in a 2013 Bravo blog post, crediting the businessman for serving as a father figure to her two sons, whom she shares with Rosello.

“It’s uncomfortable to have to speak about my ex-husband, the biological father of my children, after we have been legally divorced for over 17 years,” she explained to fans after drama about her past marriage aired on the Bravo reality show two years ago. “As you all know, I've been happily married to Herman for the last 13 years. Peter and Frankie have always lived with me and Herman,” she explained of her situation. “[They] have been blessed with having two fathers in their lives.”

Marysol Patton Finds Love On ‘Millionaire Matchmaker'

RadarOnline.com:

Real Housewives of Miami star Marysol Patton has found love, thanks to Millionaire Matchmaker‘s Patti Stanger, and will be featured on the upcoming season of the hit Bravo television show, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

According to a source, the 46-year-old housewife was “very, very hesitant to be set up on a blind date with someone, especially on camera.”

“Patti Stanger has always had a very strong connection to Marysol, and admires the relationship with her mother, Elsa and it was time for Marysol to focus on her personal life after spending so much effort taking care of her beloved mom,” the source says.

Patton flew out to Los Angeles for Millionaire Matchmaker, and attended a mixer of men selected by Stanger.

“After going out on the first date, the sparks flew. Marysol has continued to date the man and is telling friends she is in love! It is working out, and will be interesting to see where the relationship goes,” the insider told Radar.

The highly anticipated upcoming season of Millionaire Matchmaker will feature Anna Nicole Smith‘s ex-boyfriend and baby daddy Larry Birkhead, 41, Dina Lohan and Sonja Morgan, 51, as they look for love.

Is ‘Real Housewives Of Miami’ On The Chopping Block?

RadarOnline.com:

Is it or isn’t it? That’s the question when we think about whether or not the Real Housewives of Miami will be returning.

After a picture of Alexia Echevarria, Lisa Hochstein, Adrianna de Moura, and Marysol Patton hit the Internet, there were reports that the show would in fact be returning, with Patton even serving as a full-time cast member. But a source tells RadarOnline.com that this isn’t true at all!

“The show is NOT taping,” the source tells Radar, “and, as of now, has neither been renewed or cancelled. It is still in limbo, but I can definitely confirm that the show is NOT taping.”

In fact, the source even goes on to say that the four women are intentionally taking pictures together to spark rumors!

“These four women are intentionally showing up together at events in an attempt to make it seem like the show is back on and stay relevant,” the source continued, “but that’s just not the case. These appearances are all staged.”

Considering the photos might be “staged,” it’s questionable that Lea Black and Joanna Krupa are missing from the picture. The source notes, “That should tell you something right there.”

The idea of Patton returning to the show – should it return – as a full-time cast member would raise some questions, as the network downgraded her position last season.

“Marysol was only on the show for her mother, Elsa, and now that her mother can no longer tape the show, she definitely would not be brought back,” the source added.

Lea Black on 2014 Golden Globes Jewelry: Amy Adams' Necklace Was Pure Seduction

EOnline.com:

The 2014 Golden Globes may have come and gone, but there's still plenty to discuss when it comes to red carpet fashion!

We rounded up the best bling of the night and tapped Lea Black of The Real Housewives of Miami to give us her candid opinions of all of those eye-catching jewels!

Lea is no stranger to pricey baubles, so her criticism goes a long way in this category.

She wasn't a big fan of Kerry Washington's jewelry choices ("These pieces will be great for her future daughter for prom. Hope she has a girl," she quipped) and offered advice toZooey Deschanel, who wore a whimsical flower in her hair.

"Lose the hair flower, replace it with a diamond brooch, and that would be star power," she critiqued.

On the upside, the style maven gave a big thumbs up to Uma Thurman, who wore dazzling white oval and round diamond chandelier earrings and matching bracelets by Chopard.

"I loved the big bling earrings and the diamond bracelets on Uma. Proportions and choice were very stylish," Black shared with us.

Another win for Black was Jessica Chastain, who wore a dazzling platinum and diamond necklace by Bulgari.

"The double strand of various cuts and shapes of diamonds were highly styled and placed perfectly around her neck," Black said. "It exuded, 'I am somebody and somebody with confidence!' If she had worn her hair up to showcase the design, it would have been a showstopper. "

Lea Black Defends Herself from Marysol Patton's Verbal Attack

BuddyTV.com:

For the entire third season of The Real Housewives of Miami, Lea Black has been targeted by mean girls Adriana de Moura, Marysol Patton and Ana Quincoces. During last night's episode, she was verbally attacked by Marysol, who accused her of not reaching out to her sick mother, Mama Elsa. Now Lea wants to make it clear that her accusations are nothing but lies.

"Wow! The amount of camouflaged and blatant hatred, venom, lies, bitterness and phoniness that spews out at me each week says more about anyone than I could ever say," Lea wrote on her Bravo blog. "Forgive them, they know not what they do."

Lea also said that Marysol exaggerated her relationship with Mama Elsa, although the two of them have always shared a special connection. Which is why she sent Elsa flowers and cards when she found out she was in the hospital.

"I never had any spiritual conversations or advice from Elsa other than season 1 when she sat at a dinner table and gave all the girls her opinion on each of us. And by the way, she said nice things about me," Lea clarified. "I have reached out to Elsa many times with cards, calls and flowers that can be verified by florists, and I sent an email to her daughter, who never replied back."

Marysol Patton Calls Out Lea Black For Not Reaching Out To Mama Elsa

Wetpaint.com:

This week's intense episode of Real Housewives of Miami featured an epic showdown between Marysol Patton and Lea Black at Alexia Echevarria's birthday party. Now, Marysol is trying to make sense of it all.

For starters, Marysol does not believe what Lea told Alexia before the party about having reached out to Marysol's mom, Elsa. "I found the meeting between Lea and Alexia regarding Lea completely ignoring the fact that mom has been at death’s door ridiculous," Marysol writes in her Bravo blog. "Lea knows the truth and that will weigh on her conscience, not mine. I don’t need to convince anyone of the truth."

Then, at the party, Marysol did not expect Lea to say what she did. "When I went to speak to Lea, I was shocked that she looked straight at me and lied," Marysol continues. "This started to get me upset, and I had no choice but to call her out. Her behavior was very odd the way she ran away, her body language was saying something very different than what was coming out of her mouth."

As you may have guessed, Marysol also did not appreciate Lisa Hochstein getting involved. "Lisa jumped into a conversation that she knew nothing about and was really pushing my buttons," she writes. "She does not know my mother, and she certainly did not know the relationship Lea had with my mother."

"Lisa also has not been by my side for 2.5 months straight to know that day after day not a note, nor a call, nor flowers were ever received by anyone in my family on behalf of Lea," Marysol adds. "My mother, father, and brother will be the first ones to tell the world that that is the honest truth."

So will we ever know for sure who is telling the truth here? We suppose we'll have to wait and see.

Marysol Patton Reveals Her Dislike for Ramona Singer

Marysol Patton Says She's "Confused" by Her Co-Stars' "Conflicting Stories"

Wetpaint.com:

Things have been tough for Marysol Patton on this season of Real Housewives of Miami, between her mom's health issues and her arguments with the other Housewives.

"When Lisa invited Alexia, Adriana, and myself to meet her out for a fun girls night, I was really looking forward to it," Marysol writes in her Bravo blog, explaining that she was looking forward to getting an escape from dealing with her mom, Elsa's, health problems. "Some of the most difficult times for me are when I lie in bed at night thinking about my mom, unable to sleep."

"When we arrived at the club, I quickly realized Lisa was staging an intervention to get everyone to make up," Marysol says. "The other ladies Lisa invited were not happy to see us and made it very obvious, as did we. No one was ready to make amends yet, but I tried to enjoy the evening regardless. I for sure was not going to let my evening be a bust, and at this point any moment of distraction and happiness is a blessing."

Marysol says that she has trouble believing everything that the Housewives are saying this season. "As I watch the show I'm discovering many conflicting stories that have me a bit confused," she admits. "This season is going to be one for the books, to say the least."

Lea Black Says Marysol Patton and Adriana de Moura Are "Phony"

Wetpaint.com:

Real Housewives of Miami star Lea Black did not appreciate Alexia Echevarria calling her a "hypocrite" at the party — especially because Lea says she was doing her best to keep the festivities from getting ugly.

"Being polite and not causing a scene with people even if you don't like them isn't hypocrisy, it's simply being civilized and respectful to the host and their guests, and it’s called manners," Lea writes in her Bravo blog. "And the shocking thing about it is Alexia daring to call me a hypocrite while I am trying to calm down the atmosphere instead of throwing gasoline on it."

"Rather than appreciate me wanting her party to be fun and fabulous instead of a brawl, she once again took an opportunity to take a pot shot at me," she continues. "I find it surprising a host would insult one of their guests that way. Especially a friend whose heart was in the right place." Then again, when is a party ever carefree on this show?

Lea says she's not a fan of what Adriana De Moura and Frederic Marq have been saying about her. "Frederic has called me an evil bitch," Lea writes. "He has never said one nice thing about me. He keeps telling his wife all the ugly things he wants to do to me and threatens me. And he has the nerve to say I talk about him. "

"While talking to Lisa, Adriana took talking in circles to the next level," she adds. "Did any of you get dizzy during the spin?" Sounds like Lea could use some Dramamine.

And Lea says she didn't enjoy Marysol Patton's scene with the psychic. "The 'psychic' set up was as phony as the five-year 'engagement,'" Lea writes, referring to Adriana's marriage. And so there you have it: Lea won't being patching things up with Adriana and Marysol anytime soon. Or be consulting with that psychic.

Alexia Echevarria’s Son Arrested...Again

RadarOnline.com:

Peter Rosello, the son of The Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Echevarria, has been arrested for the second time in a year, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The 20-year-old was busted for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia by the North Miami Police Department, Gossip Extra is reporting.

According to the police report, Rosello was a passenger in a Fiat that hit a parked unmarked North Miami PD police car! When the cops caught up with the fleeing Fiat, they searched the vehicle and found a backpack with a jar full of weed and a pipe. The cops say Rosello admitted the bag was his.

Last October, Rosello, who has made several appearances on his mom’s reality show, was arrested for a senseless assault.

As RadarOnline.com reported, Rosello got busted after brutally attacking a sleeping homeless man and then posting video of the assault on YouTube, calling it “Hobo Gets Nutchecked!!!”

After pleasing guilty, he escaped jail by agreeing to go into a diversion program for a year, performing 100 hours of community service, apologizing to his victim and donating $1,000 to Florida’s victims relief fund.

Another plea deal on the new arrest is keeping Rosello — an aspiring model — out of jail yet again with another six months being added to his diversion program requirement.

“It wasn’t really his bag,” Richard Sharpstein, Rosello’s lawyer told GossipExtra. “He’s back in the program and once he completes it, his record will be sealed.”

That’s assuming he’s not arrested again.

Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Miami has its new season premiere, Monday August 12 at 9/8c.

Alexia Echevarria and Marysol Patton Indulge In Celebrity Gossip, Hot Miami Sun

DailyMail.co.uk:

The Real Housewives Of Miami stars aren't known for conservative style.

But on Sunday as Alexia Echevarria and Marysol Patton enjoyed a sunny day at a Miami beach, Alexia's traffic-stopping buxom swimsuit left her co-star Marysol looking overdressed in comparison.

The pair of reality stars were joined by Alexia's son Frankie and her husband Herman, before retreating for even more fun by the pool at Miami's The Setai.

Alexia opted for a particularly revealing white cut-out one piece, with a cut so low it threatened to reveal more than she probably intended.

The swimsuit was decorated with tassels around the neck, giving it a fun cowgirl feel.
The leggy blonde wrapped a red and white sarong around her waist and wore matching white sunglasses.

She tied her lengthy blonde tresses into a high ponytail, ensuring every bit of her tanned and toned upper body was on show.

Marysol chose a considerably more conservative swimsuit for the outing, which is unusual for her.

It was a black lacy number that reached all the way to her neck, so that not even a single hint of her chest was visible.

The 45-year-old covered up even further with a cream tasselled beach poncho, and shielded her eyes with dark sunglasses.

Adorably, Alexia clutched her son Frankie's hand as the crew strolled onto the beach, putting her motherly love on show.

Alexia sincerely made the beach look like her own catwalk as she stood out among the bunch, and continued to steal the show as the pair of vivacious women lay down to sunbathe.

Whilst Marysol buried her head in her phone, Alexia dissolved into fits of giggles, flashing giant smiles for the camera.

Later, Alexia uploaded an Instagram snap of the two of them at Miami's The Setai pool.

Continuing their fun in the sun, the ladies had moved on to a less sandy location and struck thoroughly choreographed poses to flaunt their bikini bodies.

Both women will be gearing up for the season premiere of The Real Housewives of Miami, which is set to air on August 12 on Bravo.

Alexia Echevarria Returns To Full-Time 'Housewife', Karent Sierra Out, Marysol Patton & Ana Quincoces Demoted In 'Real Housewives of Miami' Season 3

Clearly Karent Sierra couldn't handle the drama so she's gone. As for Ana Quincoces being demoted, I doubt too many people will care. Marysol Patton was never a fave of mine, much less her hideous-looking mother. Good to see Alexia return to full-time status tho as at least she was interesting, tho it was wishful thinking on my part that they'd get rid of that skank Joanna Krupa:

The women of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Miami" will be back for its third season starting Monday, Aug. 12 at 9/8c, with a few cast changes.

While Lea Black, Adriana de Moura, Alexia Echevarria, Lisa Hochstein and Joanna Krupa are returning as full-fledged cast members, public relations expert Marysol Patton and attorney Ana Quincoces have been downgraded to recurring roles. Additionally, there is no sign of celebrity dentist Karent Sierra on Season 3.

In its third year, Krupa and de Moura plan their weddings and the related drama; Black deals with her social circle and tries to define herself as more than just a housewife; Echevarria continues to nurse her son back to recovery after a car accident, while her other son hits hard times as well; and Hochstein is determined to conquer her fertility problems and grow her family.

Last season, Bravo brought back "The Real Housewives of Miami" from what many considered was definite cancelation after very little buzz and low ratings for its debut season. Season 2, which had about three times the episodes than its first season, saw a slight bump in its ratings numbers. It attracted 1.25 million viewers to its finale compared to the 1.09 million viewers who tuned into the previous season-ender.

Purveyors of Pop, the production company behind the show's sophomore year makeover, will continue on for its third season.

Marysol Patton Says Season 3 Of 'Real Housewives of Miami" Hasn't Been Confirmed Yet

LALATE.com:

Mama Elsa Patton has made a prediction about the future of Real Housewives of Miami, Marysol Patton tells LALATE exclusively today. Is Jax still with Stassi on Vanderpump Rules? Does Reza and MJ makeup on Shahs of Sunset? While the future might be uncertain for other Bravo shows, Mama Elsa telephoned daughter Marysol this week to tell her of a surprise coming to the cast of Real Housewives of Miami.

The hilarious and talented Marysol Patton took time out this week to laugh with LALATE about RHOM, dating, and course great Havana Elsa coffee. But along the way, came a fateful prediction. LALATE asked Marysol “Season two of RHOM started out with you and your mom [Elsa Patton] shopping for jewelry. Elsa turns to you and expresses her predictions for new energies coming into the group of women. Has Elsa felt any predictions yet for RHOM season three, or perhaps, energy ‘changes’ among the group of women?”

Marysol tells LALATE “We have not had a confirmation for a Season 3 to date.” But then Marysol added “My mother did actually call me earlier this week to tell me that on a personal level she felt things between the ladies were going to escalate to a dreadful level that was beyond anything we could imagine.”

Last season, the only thing on RHOM brewing more often than bitter feuds were cups of delicious coffee. LALATE asked Marysol “Last season, RHOM fans got to see the introduction of Havana Elsa, the new Cuba coffee line from your mom Elsa. How is the coffee business doing now?” Marysol replied “Havana Elsa coffee is doing amazing, much better than we expected. Customers really love the quality and flavor as well as that extra kick that only great espresso coffee can give.”

Yet, LALATE wondered “If those cameras for season three start rolling soon, how many cups of Havana Elsa coffee is that cameraman going to have to drink to keep up with these Housewives?” Marysol replied “It only takes a small amount of Havana Elsa coffee and a nanosecond to get that electrifying kick start that keeps you going even if you’re trying to keep up with The Real Miami Housewives.” The Havana Elsa coffee is brewing ready (here). So will Elsa’s RHOM predictions come true? You’ll have to follow Elsa (here and here), and Marysol (here and here), to find out.

Karent Sierra Blasts Alexia Echevarria, Ana Quincoces & Marysol Patton

RumorFix.com:

In an exclusive no-holds barred interview with RumorFix, Real Housewives of Miami’s Karent Sierra takes on rumors from the show including — who’s gay, who wants a divorce and who got married just for TV.

The dentist is still fired up from the explosive reunion where she accused some of the ladies of being bullies.

“The word bully got criticized [by Ana Quincoces on the reunion] saying bullies are just for kids,” she told our Real Mr. Housewife. ” There is no age limit for bullying. Yes, bullying takes place in high schools and elementary schools, but guess what? 30-year-olds, and 40-year-olds, and 50-year-olds still suffer from bullying. So the fact that Ana was like ‘Oh you shouldn’t be using that word’ — There is no age limit. People need to act their age and just respect everyone’s opinions.”

That discussion opened up some old wounds and the good doctor gave examples of rumors she thinks are hurtful.

“I know Alexia [Echevarria] — I heard about her– the rumors of her husband being gay have been out there. There’s a lot of people I know that say they have proof. Do I care? No! That’s her problem. If she has an arranged marriage, if she has a man that buys her things and they arrange it and they’re happy that way, that’s not my business,” she tells us.

“I don’t care if Marysol [Patton] got married for the show last season,” she adds.

She’s on a roll now — so Karent tells us, “I don’t care that Ana’s [Quincoces] husband has been wanting to divorce her and she doesn’t want to sign the papers. That’s not my business.”

Making a point, the brunette adds, “I don’t care. I live my life. I didn’t know that I was that important in these women’s lives for them to think about and talk about me. I have other priorities in life. I have a life. I don’t spend my days stalking anybody’s Facebook page like Ana did or talking about somebody else’s relationship behind their backs. I live my life and if they’re happy with theirs that’s all that matters. It’s been an interesting season.”

Sierra then addressed the rumors that have been circulating about the folder Ana had next to her on the couch that allegedly contained information “exposing” certain things about Lea Black.

There were rumors that Bravo was threatened to be sued and/or possibly was paid by famed lawyer Roy Black, Lea’s husband, not to show some controversial footage.

Karent clarified saying, “I will tell you — when we signed the contract with Bravo we basically sign our life away. As long as you’re mic-ed and working, you’re basically signing your life away. That contract is valid and can be held up in court. It’s easy once again to throw around rumors that Lea or Roy Black would have paid off someone to do that. Let me tell you, if Bravo would have aired something, I don’t even know all the mess they’re talking about… That would have been gold to ratings. Bravo is not that stupid to take something off that would have been incredible for ratings. “

Karent says she doesn’t know what was in the folder nor did she see the papers. She said it was a just “a prop” that Ana used for the reunion show and it made her look like “a very bitter woman.”

Marysol Patton: 'I Have No Relationship With Lea Black'

OKmagazine.com:

It was quite the ride for Real Housewives of Miami star Marysol Patton this season as we saw her go through two painful break-ups. First was the devastating end to her marriage (we watched her marry Phillipe in season one) and of course the end of her personal and professional relationship with fellow housewife Lea Black. Some would accuse Marysol of looking weak this year, but she's fighting back now! Before part two of the dramatic Real Housewives of Miami reunion airs tonight at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo, Marysol spilled all to OK!—from the moments she regrets to where all her relationships stand to how her Mama Elsa—the breakout star of the show— has influenced her life for the better!

OK!: What is best advice you ever received from your mom?
Marysol Patton: Never give a man more than you receive from him.

OK!: What is most embarrassing thing your mom has done on camera?
MP: Playing with the box of rice—that scene kind of embarrassed me.

OK!: What has your mom taught you about style and beauty?
MP: Mom taught me never to wear much make up, sit up straight, be very polite and always accessorize with jewelry—lots of jewels. Good jewelry will turn jeans and a t-shirt into a chic outfit.

OK!: Do you have any regrets from this season?
MP: I regret hugging Lea back in Bimini and telling her that I missed her friendship. I was extremely stressed and emotionally drained at that point and I just succumbed to a million emotions that were inside of me.

OK!: Where does your relationship stand with Lea today?
MP: We do not have a relationship.

OK!: What do you wish you had said to her that you didn't?
MP: "I can't believe how much you constantly lie—its flabbergasting."

OK!: What were you most proud of this season?
MP: I'm always proud to film scenes with my mother, they are always so much fun and the most genuine.

OK!: There was a lot of turmoil between you and your husband Philippe on whether or not you were going to get divorced or stay married. Where does your relationship with him stand today?
MP: I always wish him the best and hope that he finds someone to love him the way he deserves.

OK!: Where do you think your relationship with him will be in five years?
MP: I think in five years I probably will not have much communication with Philippe. I've been married before and in several long committed relationships and things just fizzle and people's lives go in different directions. That doesn't mean that I have stopped caring for him or any of my exes, it just means I have other priorities in my life.

OK!: Do you think the camera/show affected your relationship?
MP: Doing a reality show can definitely cause strain in a relationship. I think the best advice I can give is to always have open lines of communication with your partner so that things do not fester and implode. You need to tell your partner what is going on and how you feel and of course listen to them as well. It is through this openness that actions and words will not become misconstrued and ultimately become issues of resentment. It is also important to take time to live your life away from the cameras and not discuss anything related to the filming/drama.

OK!: We saw you sleep in freezing cold to preserve your skin. Who taught you that trick and what other unusual beauty regimes do you follow?
MP: I have read quite a bit about cryogenics so that is where I came up with the idea of turning my apartment into my own cryogenics tank. I am a very low maintenance girl, I cleanse my face 2x a day and constantly moisturize. I get Botox about once every 4 months and that's it. I do not eat very well, and I never exercise. I can get ready -- hair/make-up and dressed -- and out the door in 20 minutes. My exes always found it unbelievable how quickly I could get ready, they all assumed I would take hours.

OK!: Which cast mate’s closet do you most want to raid and why?
MP: Alexia's, she has the best clothes.

OK!: Which of your cast mate do you think needs your PR help the most?
MP: Helping anyone in the cast is not something I plan on doing ever again.

OK!: Which cast mate is your mom the most wary of and why?
MP: Hmmm I'm not sure because she can't seem to remember who any of them are except for Alexia, Adriana and Lea.

OK!: Which cast mate is most misunderstood?
MP: I think Adriana is the most misunderstood. She is really a wonderful mother, extremely intelligent and interesting, very deep, and not to mention funny. I think she is very vocal about certain things and because of that I find the audience focuses on her outspokenness and does not see the real Adriana.
