Brandi Glanville Admits She Joined Twitter To ‘Obsess’ Over LeAnn Rimes


RadarOnline.com:
More than four years after LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian embarked on their affair — and countless passive-agressive tweets later – Brandi Glanville is finally admitting she just might have a problem. The outspoken Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star admits to having an unhealthy obsession with Rimes and Cibrian in her new book, Drinking & Dating: P.S. Social Media Is Ruining Romance, and only RadarOnline.com has all the details.

In the very first chapter of her bombshell book, a follow-up to last year‘s Drinking & Tweeting, Glanville makes it clear for the first time that the very reason she got involved with Twitter to begin with was to track Rimes and Cibrian’s movements.

“When I first discovered the benefits of technology and social media,” she admits, “I used it to obsess about my husband, his future wife, and our children throughout the breakup and divorce.”

But now that the divorce is final, it seems the obsession hasn’t abated.

As Radar has reported, Glanville takes time out to slam Rimes and Cibrian in the new book, calling Rimes a “cunt-ry singer” who can’t sell albums and blaming Cibrian for giving her the STD HPV.

Joyce Giraud Hires Rabbi To Cleanse Home From Carlton Gebbia’s Negativity


RadarOnline.com:
Although Carlton Gebbia toyed with Joyce Giraud on Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills – claiming she’d cast a spell on her – the former Miss Puerto Rico revealed her husband fell ill later that night.

Opening up about the alleged hex, Joyce detailed the odd chain of events that occurred after confronting Carlton about her religious beliefs.

“That night we went to dinner, and I told him what Carlton said to me. He told me that even though I didn’t believe in any of it he hated the fact that she was threatening to put a spell on me. Then he got really sick,” Joyce revealed in her Bravo blog.

“I don’t believe in any of Carlton’s negativity, it doesn’t affect me… Personally I think maybe he was going to get sick anyhow and the power of suggestion is such a strong thing that he allowed his thoughts to believe it was the hex,” she added.

Joyce continued to rant about her co-star, adding: “I still haven’t met anyone as judgmental as Carlton. I think she literally uses her Wicca for shock value.”

“I believe in life we create our own happiness; and the only bad energies that enter your world are the things you allow to come in,” she said.

Although the beauty queen claimed she “wasn’t scared” of Carlton’s black magic, she confessed to having a spiritual cleansing of her home – the following day!

“We have a wonderful friend who is a Rabbi. I just love him and his wife. The next day they came right away and blessed our home against any negativity,” she revealed.

New Evidence Links Phaedra Parks To Her Husband Apollo’s Shady Business Dealings


RadarOnline.com:
When Apollo Nida was charged with bank fraud and identity theft earlier this month, some Real Housewives of Atlanta fans — including Wendy Williams wondered if his wife, Phaedra Parks, really could have been ignorant of his massive scheme. And now, in a bombshell exclusive, RadarOnline.com has unearthed new evidence linking her to his business dealings, which will likely only intensify those questions.

Documents from the Georgia Secretary of State corporations database obtained by RadarOnline.com show Parks listed as a founding officer, with Nida, of several businesses including “National Recovery Group, Inc.,” “Nida, Inc.,” “Nida Fitness Inc.,” and Nida Group, Inc.”

Though none of these companies were listed in Nida’s federal indictment, as TVFishbowl.com first pointed out, this new evidence shows that Parks was involved in her husband‘s business dealings — even if it was in  name only.

Teresa Giudice has used a similar defense in her fraud trial with husband Joe, claiming she was not involved in his scheme despite her name and signature appearing on several involved documents.

According to federal prosecutors, Nida created several “fake” companies to help him gain access to personal information databases.

The complaint reads, “When i describe these businesses as fake, what I mean is that while they may have been validly organized as entities wit the Georgia Secretary of State, they existed for a purpose other than the apparent business purpose implied by the entity name. In other words, I believe [they] were set up for the purpose of obtaining access to LexisNexis, Equifax, and similar databases.”

National Recovery Group, which Parks is linked to above, was purported to be a debt collection agency, like many businesses named in the complaint.

For now, Parks has not been charged. But according to some reports, the practicing lawyer is already facing disbarment from the George State Bar over her connections to the ongoing case.

A rep for Georgia State Bar tells Radar, however, that that is not true. “She is an active member and has no public discipline,” a rep told Radar. “She has never been disbarred or suspended and is a member in good standing.”

Asked whether that could change if she were charged as an accomplice in Nida’s case, the rep responded, “I cannot answer that question.”

Dina Manzo Moving Out At End Of ‘Real Housewives Of New Jersey’ Season


RadarOnline.com:
Dina Manzo’s brazen return to the Real Housewives of New Jersey is coming at the expense of her strained marriage and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that she’s planning to move out after the season is finished taping.

After a few year hiatus, Dina’s decision to come back hinged on her relationship with husband Tommy Manzo, but now it seems like things are over.

“Dina will move out at the end of the season because she’s more financially stable now and it doesn’t look like her marriage is going to make it,” an insider told Radar.

Filming again with Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga and the three new ladies, the source said Dina’s feeling more confident about living on her own.

“She was in pretty bad financial trouble before the show,” an insider told Radar.

As Radar previously reported, she’s been apartment hunting in pricey New York City.

“And she needed the security of the Bravo paycheck to be able to leave her husband and make it on her own,” the source said.

Kyle Richards Talks Carlton Gebbia Rivalry


People.com:
What would The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills be without yet another claws-out rivalry?

But according to Kyle Richards, she had no idea newbie Carlton Gebbia had any beef with her – that is, until Richards finally watched the show on TV.

PEOPLE caught up with Richards Friday at the Big Game Big Give Super Bowl Party hosted by Alec Baldwin in New York City, where the reality star said she's been keeping up with the show's current season – and admitted to being frustrated with Gebbia.

She's "looking for t--- on an ant," Richards, 45, said about her rival, claiming that Gebbia, 40, takes things out of context and often isn't given the chance to explain herself.

Case in point: a verbal spat that erupted on the show's Jan. 27 episode when Richards noted that Gebbia's new tattoo resembled a Jewish star, prompting a shocked reaction from Gebbia.

(Richards tells PEOPLE that Gebbia's mic was blocking a part of the tattoo, preventing Richards from fully making it out.)

But the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills isn't the only reality show stirring up some controversy in the Richards household.

Richards reveals that her daughter Farrah was asked to star in the new E! reality show Rich Kids of Beverly Hills but declined, and Farrah remains close friends with the cast.

Richards believes that the spoiled, entitled persona the kids project on the show is far from the truth, saying, "I feel bad – they are not as horrible and stupid as they seem."

The backlash, however, has been harsh: Richards says that Farrah posted an Instagram photo of her with some of the cast and it generated such vicious comments, she had to take it down.

Carole Radziwill To Come Out With New Novel: 'The Widow’s Guide to Sex & Dating'


NYDailyNews.com:
In February, anyone can get between the covers with a Real Housewife.

Three of the biggest divas from the various versions of the reality series are pushing new books that month — and the saucy train-wreck TV show translates perfectly to the printed page.

If you like that sort of thing.

Carole Radziwill — the miscast classy lady of “The Real Housewives of New York” — is up first with a thinly veiled novel, “The Widow’s Guide to Sex & Dating.”

Then, Beverly Hills “Real Housewife” Brandi Glanville follows up her successful debut “book” “Drinking & Tweeting” by striking out in a completely same direction with “Drinking & Dating: P.S. Social Media is Ruining Romance.”

It’s an advice book (of sorts) from the woman best known for losing her C-list husband, Eddie Cibrian, to the man-stealing country warbler LeAnn Rimes.

Limping in last at the end of February is “Leggy Blonde,” a memoir by the universally unliked New York “Housewife” Aviva Drescher.

Drescher, of course, is famous for removing her prosthetic leg on camera. Her book, metaphorically, is expected to do the same: “For the first time, the native New Yorker stands on her own two feet to speak out on her fascinating life ... with true courage,” her publisher gushes.

“Fascinating life”? “True courage”? Book buyers will be the judge.

The story reveals how Drescher lost her foot in a barn accident at age 6, hoped to be “cured” by an Indian mystic, but instead ended up dancing on tables in Paris, birthing four kids by two men, changing religions, getting a law degree and wrestling with panic attacks.
It’s all so... reality TV.

The book world is most excited about Radziwill’s obvious roman a dreck in which a widow named Claire Byrnes discovers a voracious sexual appetite — and then sates it with a movie star who sounds a lot like George Clooney.

It also sounds a lot like last season of “Real Housewives,” when once cast member dropped the hint that Clooney did more than inspire Radziwill’s fiction.

“Look at that ass on Carole,” cast-member Sonja Morgan said. “No wonder George Clooney did her for a year.”

Clearly the revelations were planted to entice Clooney’s fans to Radziwill’s book. He certainly has a few million more than she does.

Teresa Giudice Not Sure She Will Stand By Husband Joe As Federal Fraud Trial Looms


RadarOnline.com:
As Teresa and Joe Giudice’s trial date for 41 charges of federal fraud nears, Teresa is finally starting to have doubts about her husband – and is not sure that she will stand by his side if they go to prison.

In a recent conversation with another woman whose husband had gone to prison, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star made a shocking statement.

“She said, ‘You waited for him?’ a source told RadarOnline.com Teresa asked. “And she goes, ‘Oh, you’re a better person than me’.”

In the past, Teresa would never have suggested she might not always support Joe.

“She would never talk like that… She was a stand by your man type of situation,” the source said.

But now in the wake of news that Joe was spotted hanging out with other women, Teresa’s attitude seems to have changed.

“After all that other news hit, there’s got to be a doubt in her mind,” the source said. “Every time she turns around, she’s away, she’s seeing pictures of him somewhere else. So I have a feeling that she’s starting to say, ‘Are you kidding me?’ Like ‘Stand by my man but meanwhile every time I go somewhere, he’s doing something else?’”

And as the trial date looms, Teresa is starting to realize that Joe may not be putting his neck out there to protect her.

“I think she’s finally starting to realize it: ‘I better cover my own ass. I have four kids to take care of,’” the source said.

Gregg Leakes on Divorce From NeNe: “It Was My Fault”


Wetpaint.com:
We were heartbroken when NeNe Leakes and her husband Gregg got divorced back in 2011, but thankfully the duo reconciled soon after and were remarried in a lavish ceremony that was filmed for NeNe’s spin-off, I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding in 2013.

These days The Real Housewives of Atlanta couple is happier than ever in life and love. Gregg was on Bethenny today, January 30, with fellow Real Househusbands Apollo Nida and Peter Thomas, and he couldn’t say enough good things about his wife. 

When host Bethenny Frankel asked Gregg how the couple’s second marriage was going, he labeled it “absolutely marvelous”, noting that he’s learned a valuable lesson since the divorce.
 
“I learned that two ears beat three mouths and half of a brain,” he said. “If I would have listened I would’ve never had to go through it.”

Later, when Bethenny asked NeNe’s hubby if he takes some of the responsibility for the failure of the duo’s first marriage, his response really surprised her. “I take all of the responsibility. It was my fault, therefore it was my challenge to put it back,” he explained.

And put it back he has! In another segment in the episode, Bethenny asked the fellas how often they feel like they need to have sex with their famous wives. The general consensus was three to four times a week, but Gregg revealed that he and NeNe do the deed more often than that. 

“Oh, absolutely. I’m married to NeNe Leakes,” he declared.

How...sweet?!

Bedroom habits aside, we’re happy that Gregg has taken responsibility for the end of the pair’s first marriage. That’s a big thing for any man to admit but he clearly did it because he’s head over heels in love with his gal!

Kyle Richards Shares Flashback Photo With Bethenny Frankel


RadarOnline.com:
Long before she was a reality TV star, a daytime talk show host or multi-millionaire, Bethenny Frankel was the personal assistant to Paris Hilton‘s mom, Kathy — and in case you forgot, Kyle Richards posted a “Flashback Friday” photo as a reminder.

The nearly unrecognizable Instagram photo of Bethenny was captioned, “I love this #flashbackfriday with @bethenny flashing WAAAY back.”

“I have known your family for so many years. I met Kyle when I was a hostess at a restaurant in Beverly Hills, La Scala,” Bethenny admitted during her talk show when Kim Richards was a guest.

“And then I started working for Kathy as an assistant taking Paris and Nicky to and from school.”

According to Kyle, the two hit it off in the restaurant when they realized Bethenny was dating her ex-boyfriend!

“I was having lunch one day and she plopped down right next to me and said, ‘Do you use Lancôme eye makeup remover?’ Turns out she was dating my ex and the Lancôme was in his apartment,” Kyle said.

“We started laughing and became friends. Then I got her a job with my sister driving Paris and Nicky to school.”

And the Hiltons weren’t Bethenny’s only celeb clientele — before hitting it big on Real Housewives of New York and creating the successful Skinnygirl cocktail brand, she also assisted Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay and Clueless starlet Alicia Silverstone.

Ramona Singer Accuses Jill Zarin Of Trying To Stay Relevant For Speaking Out On Her Divorce Drama


I think Ramona has a very valid point here:
Ramona Singer has fired a warning shot at her former Real Housewives of New York co-star Jill Zarin, warning her to stay out of her “personal business” and stop taking about her divorce.

Singer and her estranged husband Mario Singer announced their separation after they got into a domestic dispute at their shared Hamptons home, where she caught the love rat with rumored gal-pal, socialite Kasey Dexter.

Zarin, who was fired from RHONY in 2011, commented on the report on Twitter.

“I am glad you finally told the truth @ramonasinger,” she wrote about the situation. ”I hope he gets what he deserves. Mario CHOKED her.”

Singer retweeted one commenter’s harsh reply to Zarin’s comment.

“Why in the hell is @jillZarin discussing anything at all about @ramonasinger?” the fan asked. “STFU Jill. You nor your gossip are relevant.”

Singer then tweeted: “Think it’s sad she feels the need to use my personal business to try to make herself relevant.”

The couple — who have one child, Avery — have continually denied marital problems and infidelities, but Singer finally filed for divorce after 27 years of marriage this week.
