Kim Richards Slams Lisa Vanderpump For Bringing Up Mauricio-Kyle Cheating Rumors

RadarOnline.com:

9021-go. The drama has ignited in Beverly Hills, with Kim Richards saying she’s “disgusted” with costar Lisa Vanderpumpafter the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stateswoman raised allegations of infidelity on the part of Kim’s brother-in-law, Mauricio Umansky, during the premiere episode on Monday.

As RadarOnline.com reported, British-born Vanderpump put her one-time pal Kyle Richards on the spot, casually dropping into conversation stories about her realtor husband’s alleged cheating – all in front of their daughter Portia!

The drama didn’t sit well with Kyle’s sister, who took to her Bravo blog to slam the Vanderpump Rules star.  

“When I saw and heard what Lisa said about Kyle and Maurice in front on my niece Portia, I was disgusted, but not surprised!” she wrote.  

“This is behavior I have seen for years!! But she is showing her colors more and more! “If I were Kyle, I personally wouldn’t have her in my home again!”  

For her part, Lisa tried to defend her actions, explaining in her own Bravo blog that she wanted to address the rumors head on. “I would prefer face-to-face to acknowledge them and then in the same breath ridicule the constant nonsense,” Lisa wrote.  

Lisa insisted that she didn’t believe the cheating rumors and had even tried to leap to her costar’s defense a few days prior to the showdown. “I had been at an event a couple of days prior and publicly denounced the validity of these rumors regarding Mauricio on the red carpet,” she wrote.

“I was quoted using the terminology ‘utter bullsh*t.’ I had chosen my words carefully as I responded to the inquiring minds, because I was well aware that my reply would be documented everywhere and it was my duty as a friend to defend them,” Lisa wrote.  

Back in June, the cheating rumors first surfaced – but Mauricio quickly denied the infidelity allegations.  

“I am faithfully and happily committed to my wife of 18 years, Kyle Richards, and our children, and am saddened to learn that someone would spread these ugly and vicious false rumors regarding me,” Mauricio said in a statement.  

“I do not intend to comment further on these false and utterly ludicrous accusations.”

Cynthia Bailey Advises Kandi Burruss On Cheating Rumors Surrounding Fiancee

RadarOnline.com:

In a preview for the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kandi Burruss‘  mom tells Kandi she had heard that her fiancé Todd Tucker has been sneaking around with another woman.

Now, Kandi’s costar Cynthia Bailey has come forward to share some advice on how Kandi can deal with the rumors that Todd is a love rat!

“I think that when you are a successful woman and you have a lot going on, other women are attracted to your man,” Cynthia told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.

“They’re like, ‘If you want him, maybe I should want him. It’s just the way it is.

“It’s only a matter of time before there are rumors that get out that say, ‘Oh, so and so said that she was with your man,’” Cynthia added. “We all go through that.”

So how should Kandi handle this situation?

“The best advice I can give to Kandi and to anyone who has been phased with cheating rumors — because I’ve certainly been the victim of it as well — is to just ask the questions,” Cynthia said. “Ask your man what’s going on and just kind of move on.”

Cynthia’s reasoning is that rumors are sometimes unfounded.

“Unless you have reason to suspect that there could be some validity to it, for the most part, it’s usually just rumors,” she says. “Our guys know that if they cheat, who are they going to cheat with and us not find out?

Everyone knows who they are.”

According to Cynthia, the RHOA men can’t even go to another country and cheat without the housewives finding out.

“They can’t even go to Spain and cheat,” she says. “Some hooker in Spain will be like, ‘I’m with Peter [Cynthia’s husbad] in Spain.’”

“That’s the beauty of social media: I would get that tweet in two seconds, so it’s kind of hard for these guys to really stray,” Cynthia adds. “Because usually the girls that would stray with a married man, or a committed man, they’re going to tell somebody.”

Lydia McLaughlin Reveals She Will Not Return for Season 9 of The Real Housewives of Orange County

Shocking indeed:

So long, Lydia. After just one season on The Real Housewives of Orange County, Lydia McLaughlin has decided not to return for season nine of the Bravo smash, she tells Us Weekly exclusively. "It's bittersweet," McLaughlin, 32, tells Us. "I compare it to breaking up with a boyfriend you know you're not going to end up with -- it's hard, but overall you know you're doing the right thing." (Bravo had no comment.)

The quirky, Canadian-born magazine entrepreneur and married mother of two isn't the only woman exiting the original show that spawned the entire Housewives franchise: As reported back in September, both Alexis Bellino and Gretchen Rossi were fired from the Bravo smash; Rossi joined the series in season four, and Bellino entered the fray one season later. Pending any other casting changes, the remaining OC women include veteran housewife Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Barney and Heather Dubrow.

Typically chilled out during her short tenure on the show, McLaughlin assures Us that there's "no epic story" or feud behind her decision to leave the show. "I never wanted to make a career out of being a housewife.

That's never really been a dream of mine," says McLaughlin, who shares kids Stirling, 4, and Maverick, 2, with husband Doug. Although producers asked McLaughlin to come back ("I was really flattered!"), she explains, "I want to build my brand outside of the Housewives -- I've always been really honest with the producers about that. I knew that while I was filming it that I probably wasn't going to be doing it again."

To her credit, McLaughlin managed to survive her short tenure on the show mostly keeping peace with all of the often-combative women. "I definitely don't have any regrets," she says. "I got to be kind of a different voice -- I think that my fans love the love and positivity that I brought."

And McLaughlin - who owns Beverly Hills Lifestyle magazine with Doug, 33 -- hasn't ruled out a potential return to reality TV, either. "I definitely have plans to continue to sparkle fairy dust and be a light! I want to develop our own reality show about our magazine and all the glitz and glamour involved with publishing it," says McLaughlin, who also has a burgeoning jewelry line.

As for keeping in touch with her now ex-costars? "I still see Alexis and Gretchen," she says. "Ironically they're not on the show anymore!"

McLaughlin's also undecided whether she'll tune in as a viewer of future seasons. "I feel like because I did have such a great experience with it, I would be sad to watch it," she mused. "It'd be like seeing your ex-boyfriend with a new girl! I'm really grateful for the opportunity!"

Porsha Stewart Suggests Kordell Stewart Might Be Gay On 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' Premiere

HuffPo.com:

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" returned and things were ugly already. Porsha Stewart was in the middle of a nasty divorce from former NFL star Kordell Stewart. She found out at the end of last season that he'd filed for divorce from fans on Twitter -- she'd seen no signs their marriage was headed in that direction.

"There were definitely times in the marriage that Kordell didn’t necessarily want me, physically, and that made me wonder, what does he want?" she admitted. "When we first got together, I asked him about rumors of him being gay, because family members were bringing it up to me and friends were asking me about it, and he explained it away ... I didn’t question whether he was gay or not because someone else said it. Any reasons that I questioned it were things I had experienced or seen.” 

That bombshell made Entertainmenet Weekly's list of highlights from the episode. CarterMatt agreed, saying that's the price you pay for fame. "What this show really exposes is that there are downsides to not only being in the public eye, but subjecting much of your personal life and loved ones to it, as well."

Still, HitFix's Liane Bonin Starr noted how careful Porsha was with what she said. "Porsha is very careful not to go into detail, but I'm guessing it's only a matter of time (unless he works nondisclosure terms into their divorce settlement)," she wrote. "Man, did this show get real all of a sudden or what?”

Dina Manzo Talks Family, Charity and Returning to 'Real Housewives of New Jersey'

NorthJersey.com:

On a briskly clear afternoon in late October, Dina Manzo, looking casually chic in a gray fedora and gray vest, has just finished doing an interview at an outdoor café table when a woman emerges from the Wyckoff Starbucks calling her name. "Dina, I hate to bother you," the woman begins, "but I know about Project Ladybug, and … "

The stranger goes on to explain that she's approaching Manzo on behalf of a friend, inside Starbucks, who's a top salesperson for Lia Sophia jewelry and would like to donate merchandise for a Ladybug fundraiser.

"I'll be right in," Manzo tells the woman with a smile.

Manzo, who became famous as one of the original cast members of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" — and all but confirmed last week that she'll be returning to the Bravo series next season — is also well known for her Project Ladybug, the non-profit she founded in 2007 to financially and emotionally help children with life-threatening diseases, and their families. Ladybug launched its first initiative at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital in Paterson and has since expanded to Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York City, and Chicago's Comer Children's Hospital.

 The Franklin Lakes resident has, in fact, agreed to this interview — which she realizes will inevitably touch on topics like her return to "RHONJ," her friendship with the beleaguered Teresa Giudice and her estrangement from sister Caroline Manzo — in order to publicize Project Ladybug's big Nov. 11 fundraiser, "Goddess Night Out."

"It's our sixth annual Ladies Night Out," says Manzo, explaining this year's name. "I've grown a lot spiritually in the past four or five years, and what I have learned has helped me. I want to share that with as many people. … So, instead of making it just Ladies Night Out, and a great fun party, I'm making it Goddess Night Out. And it's all about inspiring women to embrace the goddess within and being beautiful inside and out."

That means everything from offering hands-on healers and color therapy to eyelash extensions and "great looking things" to shop for, so, "if you're not really into or ready to dive into spirituality too much, there's a lot of mainstream things also that you can get into," Manzo says. "And of course, the Housewives will be there."

A change of venue

Well, at least two housewives: Giudice, who has also donated signed cookbooks, and Kathy Wakile, who will be mingling with fans for the cause.

Of course, there will also be "fabulous raffle prizes" and an elaborate tricky tray (with goodies that include $1,000 worth of Lia Sophia jewelry, in a basket, donated by the woman from Starbucks).


This year's event will be at The Venetian in Garfield, which was also where the "RHONJ" fifth-season reunion was shot. But don't read anything into the fact that the Ladybug event is not being held at Paterson's The Brownstone, which is co-owned by Tommy Manzo, from whom Dina announced in February that she had separated.

"It's for no other reason other than The Brownstone did not have a date for me. I'm not leaving The Brownstone for any other reason," says Dina.

Asked if she and Tommy have gotten divorced, Manzo says, "We still live together. I announced my separation a year ago, but Tommy and I have a very special love for each other that will never go away. So, we live in the same house. We love each other. We respect each other. And that's the way it's gonna stay whether we get divorced or whether we stay together. I think it's a really nice place to be with each other.

"We're just seeing how things go right now. But there's always love and respect between us."

The youngest of 11 siblings, Dina Manzo, 41, met Tommy Manzo when she was 9 years old and sister Caroline was dating her future husband, Al Manzo, Tommy's brother. The two sisters have been estranged for several years, and neither woman has revealed why.

"All I could say is that everybody's on their journey in life, and it doesn't mean anyone is any better than anybody else, but we're in different places. So, sometimes it's better to keep your distance while you're working through some stuff."

Last month, Caroline Manzo announced that she has left "RHONJ." And she recently filmed the pilot for a potential Bravo spinoff called "Manzo'd With Children."

"I'm not gonna lie. I think this world of, I don't want to call it entertainment, but the fame of it all has affected both of us in different ways," Dina Manzo says. "So, I'm thinking, 15 minutes come and go. And I understand we may be stretching it here and there. She just did her own pilot and I may be going back [to 'RHONJ']. But at the end of the day, after all that is done, we're gonna see through it all. … I love my family. I always will. There's distance right now, and we'll fix that off camera."

On Tuesday morning, Manzo was more definitive about returning to "RHONJ" in a tweet, writing, "Well I guess the (hairless) cats out of the bag. Yes I'm back, Unlike the past this time it felt 'right'~ See you on Bravo my friends xo."

But in person, later that same day, she is more tentative in her wording. "On Twitter this morning, I kind of let everybody know that I probably will be back, because there's all kinds of rumors going around that aren't true, and if I don't say anything, it kind of gets out of control," she says. "So yeah, it's most likely that I am coming back and the shooting will probably begin right away."

Prodded for more details, Manzo says carefully, "I can say that I was asked back. I was told who was coming back and who was not, and I'm considering it." She adds that she had also been asked back for the recently concluded fifth season, but declined. "I never wanted to come back to 'Housewives' and air my family's drama. I love my parents way too much to get involved with that, and I see the pain that Teresa has endured." 

'Timing just feels right' 

Manzo, who says that her contract for her HGTV show "Dina's Party" has expired, left "RHONJ" in 2010, during the show's second season, saying she no longer wanted to deal with fellow Housewife Danielle Staub. Since then, Manzo says she has not regularly watched "RHONJ," but in the "bits and pieces" she has seen, she did not like the "painful experience of family drama." "I know it won't be all smooth sailing. But the timing just feels right," she says of returning to the Bravo show, noting that her daughter Lexi is now a high school senior and will be soon be starting college. "She's not that 12-year-old that was heavily influenced. … I didn't want her to feel that that was a normal life at that point. Now, she's going off on her own. And she's excited about being on ['RHONJ'], too, because she feels she has a message for her peers as well." 

Manzo's mix of a lavish "Housewives" lifestyle and deep and eclectic spirituality may seem a bit incongruous. But she does not think so. In fact, on "RHONJ," she believes she could impart a valuable lesson to young girls. 

"What I want to do is show them that you can be glamorous and spiritual, so they don't give up the idea of spirituality because they feel like they have to give up the shoes and the fancy cars," says Manzo, who cops to loving Louboutins and Manolos. "I want to be an example to them that you can have both and that's OK. 

"I think it's a really strong message for young girls to say that you don't have to be all just Kim Kardashian glamour and you don't have to be just all Gandhi. There is an in-between."

Cynthia Bailey Talks Financial & Marital Woes

RadarOnline.com:

Cynthia Bailey and her husband Peter Thomas have had their fair share of ups and downs.

After Cynthia lent Peter money to start his former restaurant/lounge Uptown and the venture went under, the couple is again facing a similar situation.

In a preview for the new season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Peter reveals to Cynthia that their new bar, Bar One, is facing foreclosure and they have to figure out how to get through this financial crisis.

“When Peter told me about the issues we were having at Bar One, I immediately felt deja vu: ‘Here we go. We’re back to Uptown,’” Cynthia told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.

“Financial issues are just huge in a new marriage. We were struggling even to get married and then once I finally feel like I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, I got hit with the bomb.”

It was frightening for Cynthia to hear that they might lose.

“That was devastating because I’m not comfortable when things are going crazy,” she admitted. “I like to have a plan and I like the plan to work. I don’t want to do all those steps and then it just backfires and we’re back to square one.”

And Bar One’s issues still haven’t been resolved.

“It’s still something we’re dealing with,” Cynthia revealed. “It’s not rectified even right now.”

They are trying to buy the property so that they don’t lose their business.

“We’re taking steps to try to buy the property,” Cynthia explained. “We were comfortable renting it and it’s a whole other set of things that come with buying, so that’s where we are and I’m just hoping it works out.”

But Cynthia and Peter’s problems don’t end at the financial frustrations that they are facing – Peter is also upset with Cynthia for spending too much time working and not enough time focusing on their marriage.

“All I do is work,” Cynthia confessed.

“That’s one of the other issues Peter and I are having in our own personal life is now I’m so paranoid and scared of being broke again that we even struggle for a date night.”

“Peter’s very frustrated with the fact that I’m just a working lunatic now,” Cynthia added. “And now he feels like we never do anything together.”

Kyle Richards Calls Yolanda Foster A ‘Liar’

RadarOnline.com:

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is back and the drama is in full swing.

In the upcoming premiere of season four, Kyle Richards andYolanda Fosterare in the middle of a nasty she-said, she-said fight. During a chat withLisa Vanderpump, Kyle reveals that she thinks that Yolanda is a liar!  

“When I look at Yolanda, [never] would I associate her with being a liar,” Lisa tells Kyle in a preview clip, below. Kyle responds: “Really? Well, I do… because I know and she knows. That’s my issue with her. I know the truth, Kim [Richards] knows it, and Yolanda knows the truth. “ 

 In another conversation, Yolanda discusses the situation at hand with Brandi Glanville. “Did you get the invite from Kyle for the 100th birthday of Beverly Hills party?” Brandi asks Yolanda.

One of my biggest faults is that I’m too straight and I have too much say as it is.”

But Brandi tries to convince Yolanda to go.
 
“Well do it for the 100th birthday party of Beverly Hills,” she says. “It’s not about Kyle. It’s about Beverly Hills.”

Unfortunately, Yolanda isn’t having it.
 
“Honey, I’ve just, I’ve been sick for nine months,” she tells Brandi. “I’m just getting my mojo back. Do I really go and stand at somebody’s house for some party that doesn’t have good intentions with me? I just don’t want to do that. “

“I don’t really have any interest to go to her house,” Yolanda continues to explain during a confessional. “I just need acknowledgement in order to move on. And Kyle seems to live her life by swooping everything under the carpet.”
 
Yolanda puts the topic to rest by stating that she expects Kyle to apologize before they can move forward.

Phaedra Parks Subpoenaed as Witness in Kenya Moore’s Eviction Process

Wetpaint.com:

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore's eviction drama is affecting her co-stars as well. 

Kenya was evicted from her six-bedroom Atlanta home earlier this year, and co-star Phaedra Parks assisted her in fighting back. 

"I was subpoenaed as a witness for her eviction process," Phaedra tells TV Guide. 

As far as Phaedra's exact involvement, we'll have to wait and watch Season 6 of RHOA, as the drama is set to unfold on the show. 

But it appears that Kenya and Phaedra's efforts paid off, as Kenya said that she was victorious in her eviction case. 

"#teamtwirl I WON my eviction case and it was vacated!" she tweeted in July. "We proved I didn't owe any late rent. Thanks for all your support! Moving on and up." 

Kenya's landlord had previously claimed that Kenya owed months of rent. “The decision to file this eviction notice regarding Ms. Moore was reached after pursuing every possible amicable way to settle this matter privately," the landlord had said. "I am grateful that the judicial system has brought finality to this eviction process and I look forward to regaining possession of my home." 

Meanwhile, we'll see Kenya and NeNe Leakes fight during the season premiere about Kenya feeling NeNe should have reached out to her when she was evicted. 

"I've been tormented for the last two months — it was just an illegal eviction," Kenya tells NeNe in this week's episode. "It's like, every time I'm going through something, nobody even says, 'Hey, you okay?'"

Vicki Gunvalson Says She Regrets Joining ‘Real Housewives Of Orange County’: The Show Broke Up My Family!

RadarOnline.com:

In a candid new interview, Real Housewives of Orange Country star Vicki Gunvalson is blaming the hit reality show for destroying her family.  

Despite signing up for eight seasons of RHOC, the veteran Bravolebrity star has some regrets about appearing on the show.  

“I think that my family would still be together. There’s some really great things that have come from the show, but one of the downsides was that it broke up my family, and that’s tough to take,” she told Digital Spy.  

The 51-year-old admitted the show was the main reason she split with her husband Donn Gunvalson in 2010, after a 19-year union.  

“I think the show had a lot to do with me getting divorced. I think it was too much pressure on a weak marriage. I wonder where Donn and I would be now if we didn’t do the show. But we elected to do the show together as a family. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out for us,” she explained.  

As one of the longest standing Real Housewives in the franchise, Gunvalson has experienced plenty of drama and admitted she’s thought about quitting the show “every year.”  

“It’s not easy to be judged, to be ridiculed, to be talked down to,” she says.  

So why does she continue to return?  

“I’m not a quitter, and I feel like the viewers still want to see me. My story’s not over. I try to bring some good to the show, as best as I can, to inspire single women,” she adds. 

Vicki's full of it and obviously looking for a scapegoat for why her marriage with Donn ended bad as well as her last relationship with Brooks. Over the years viewers have certainly noticed how wacky and selfish Vicki can be and she's an admitted workaholic (which according to her and Donn himself, contributed greatly to her marriage not working out) and with Brooks, she should've just listened more to the people around her who knew that he wasn't a good guy. RHOC had little to do with breaking up her family, if anything it just highlighted the problems that were going to end things anyway.

Camille Grammer Will Undergo Chemo & Radiation Treatment In Cancer Battle

RadarOnline.com:

Camille Grammer will be facing a tough battle in the next few weeks as she will begin chemotherapy and radiation to treat her endometrial cancer, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

On Tuesday Grammer, 45, was awarded a temporary restraining order to protect herself and her two children from Dimitri Charalambopoulos after she claimed he was “repeatedly slamming my head and face into the furniture” during a hotel altercation between the two on Oct. 16 in Houston.

Kelsey Grammer‘s ex-wife, and mother to their two children, “will begin a grueling round of chemo and radiation in the next three weeks to treat the endometrial cancer. The good news is that Camille is young, and in very good health, and the cancer was caught early,” the source told Radar.

“It didn’t spread, but she has to undergo both chemo and radiation to make sure it doesn’t come back. She is handling this like a real trooper and will use what she has been thru to raise awareness for women’s cancer.”

The blond beauty had a radical hysterectomy in Houston, Texas, earlier in October, after being diagnosed with the potentially deadly disease.

Melissa Gorga Says New House Will Be Ready in One Year

Wetpaint.com:

Melissa Gorga of the The Real Housewives of New Jersey is closer and closer to having all of her dreams come true, including the perfect home for her, Joey, and her three children. In a recent interview with TBB Reality, the singer and new author confirmed that her custom-built house is about a year away. 

In the meantime, the Gorgas decided to rent in Franklin Lakes, so that the kids can be incorporated into the appropriate school district from the get-go. 

"We are currently in Franklin Lakes and we are building a new home right now so it’s going to take a good year to build," Melissa told the media website, elaborating, "We’re renting right now about two miles away from where we’re building so it works out really good and we’re happy. We wanted to get over to Franklin Lakes so that the kids could be in the school system starting in September so we didn't have to switch them in the middle of the year. I didn’t want Antonia to get any older before we had to pull her out of one school and switch her into another so we hurried up and we found a house to rent." 

That makes sense to us! 

The family sold their former Jersey home in Montville Township for a cool $3.8 million, so that they could start on their new abode. Joe Gorga, himself, is apparently in charge of the project. 

"It's going to be a lot of work designing and building the new home, but Joe is an incredible builder and I'm excited to go back to where we started our family," Melissa gushed to Us Weekly over the summer.
