Taylor Armstrong Is Getting Married This Weekend
RadarOnline.com:
Will former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong finally get her fairy tale ending?RELATED: Couples Therapy Finale: Taylor Armstrong’s Fiancé John Bluher Will Adopt Her ‘Tyrant’ Tot, Kennedy
The Oklahoma native will marry Colorado lawyer, John Bluher this weekend in Southern California, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
“Taylor and John will be getting married this weekend,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “Taylor has invited several of her former Beverly Hills housewives co-stars, [and] the couple has hired celebrity wedding planner David Tutera to assist with the big day.”
In 2011, Taylor showed her troubled family life with her late husband — and the father of her daughter Kennedy — Russell Armstrong; who killed himself shortly after she filed for divorce from him, claiming he’d abused her.
In 2012, Taylor made a fresh start with attorney John. She accepted his marriage proposal last year, and although they haven’t wed yet, on Thursday’s Couples Therapy finale on VH1, John said he wants to be Kennedy’s legal father, and planned to adopt her.
The lawyer said he had something “really cool” in a binder — at which point she joked, “Is this a prenup?!?”
But instead, he presented Taylor, 42, with the adoption paperwork for Kennedy, and the former RHOBH star burst into tears!
“I want her to be my daughter,” a choked-up John told Taylor as they hugged on camera in front of their co-stars, including Jon Gosselin and Farrah Abraham.
“There could be no better father for Kennedy,” Taylor sobbed, adding to John, “You make me feel safe and protected, but you don’t make me feel afraid — I cannot wait to be your wife.”
Sources tell us, “Taylor is hoping to sell pictures of the wedding to an entertainment magazine,” and that the newlyweds will make their home in Colorado, where Kennedy has already enrolled in school.

Kenya Moore 911 Call: I've Been Assaulted By Porsha Williams
TheHollywoodGossip.com:
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore dialed 911 minutes after being whomped on by Porsha Stewart last week, and her voice tells the story.
As 911 calls go, it's pretty tame - no screaming, hysterics or chaos to speak of - but Moore was clearly far from pleased as she phoned in the assault.RELATED: Porsha Williams Dodges Kenya Moore Brawl Questions During 'Tom Joyner Morning Show' (VIDEO)
We'll have to wait until the reunion show airs to know how bad it actually got between then, but Porsha Stewart beat up Kenya Moore with cameras rolling.
When one listens to Kenya nonchalantly telling the 911 dispatcher, "I've just been assaulted," one can just see her rolling her eyes at the unending drama.
She lists her attacker by her maiden name, Porsha Williams.
Porsha and Kenya exploded on each other Thursday during the taping of the Bravo show's reunion. Some believe Porsha may be fired over the fight.
We somehow doubt that, as drama equals ratings ... but reports from the set indicate that the fight was really bad and way over the line, even for Bravo.
The feud between the co-stars has been brewing all season.
According to insiders, the rising tension finally culminated in Kenya taunting Porsha with sex toys and slamming her relationship with Kordell Stewart.
Carlton Gebbia Slams ‘Bigot’ Kyle Richards, Declares She Is Trash & Has No Moral Compass
RadarOnline.com:
Getting one final swipe in after the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion, Carlton Gebbia slammed her castmate Kyle Richards for her contradictory behavior throughout the entire season.After Richards – once again – blamed Lisa Vanderpump for bringing up the tabloid story about her husband’s alleged cheating, Gebbia reflected on her co-stars’ mean girl behavior.“Overall it was quite amusing sitting there and watching Kyle bouncing around on the couch like a caged animal ready to pounce. She’s snarling at me and then at Lisa, blaming her for her husband’s tabloids. Slightly misplaced anger I say.“Whining about how it could damage her life, her family, her husband and her business. Yes here it comes. . .Really??? You mean like calling someone Anti-Semitic! A deliberate and calculated attack on my character and family, which only goes to prove my point about this vile woman,” Gebbia vented on her Bravo blog.Speaking about the reunion, Gebbia noted she’s still Team Vanderpump – but could barely get a word in over the other feuding housewives.“All I’ve witnessed is Kyle bellowing over Lisa and I whenever we want to answer or say anything. How can anyone get a word in, let alone a sentence with this crap. Seems like she’s the one who doesn’t want anyone to hear the truth,” Gebbia noted.“Kyle definitely has a Pack Mentality… She is trash!”Gebbia, who felt Richards had attacked her Wiccan beliefs throughout the entire season, had no remorse about calling her co-star a “bigot.”“I look back at the despicable behavior of Kyle Richards and am now not surprised by her asinine behavior.“After all, why would I be shocked by what she’s called me when she can publicly humiliate her own sister, her own flesh and blood, Kim by viciously outing her on camera for the world to view. That is exactly who Kyle is, no moral compass whatsoever,” Gebbia concluded.
Joanna Krupa Says She Doesn't Want to Be on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Wetpaint.com:
Rumors swirled recently that Joanna Krupa wanted to leave Real Housewives of Miami and join the cast of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, since she often spends time in Los Angeles. Now, Joanna is finally addressing the rumors once and for all.RELATED: Toughest job in showbiz! Joanna Krupa's lucky make-up artist gets hands-on as he bronzes her thighs on swimwear shoot
On March 31, Joanna posted a message on Instagram in which she dismissed the notion that she ever wanted to join RHoBH. "Killing the rumors once and for all #rhom #rhobh," she captions the photo.
"The rumors that I wanted to be transferred to RHoBH were always false!" the message in the photo reads.
"The rumors that RHOM is canceled or renewed are also false. Bravo has yet to decide, and I will embrace their decision. As for myself, I am looking on a couple surprises that I love."
Frankly, we think it's for the best that Joanna isn't trying to leave RHOM, since her Miami cast members seemed to resent the notion that she was leaving. But now, we're just crossing our fingers that RHOM gets renewed for Season 4.

NeNe Leakes' Shocking Criminal Past Exposed
StarMagazine.com:
In her 2009 autobiography, Never Make the Same Mistake Twice, NeNe Leakes opened up about an arrest in her early 20s, when her friend shoplifted from a mall and police pulled them over together. But although the Real Housewives of Atlanta star prides herself on telling it like it is, she apparently wasn’t completely forthcoming about her criminal past.RELATED: 'They should kick Kenya's fake booty off!' NeNe Leakes backs Porsha Williams after Real Housewives of Atlanta punch-up
According to Athens-Clarke County (Georgia) Superior Court documents obtained by Star, the reality star was arrested and charged in 1992 with three felony and one misdemeanor counts of “theft of services” from the phone company. At the time, she was 25 and known by her birth name of Linnethia Johnson.
NeNe settled on a plea agreement, where she pled guilty to all four counts and was put on two years’ probation and ordered to repay $2,650. Over the next two years, though, she was arrested three more times for probation violations.
Obviously, the now 46-year-old has come a long way from her troubled past. She’s currently competing on Dancing With the Stars, and continues to star on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
5 Questions For Carole Radziwill
CharlotteObserver.com:
Carole Radziwill won multiple Emmys at ABC-TV before marrying ABC-TV producer Anthony Radziwill, the son of Jacqueline Kennedy’s younger sister Lee Bouvier Radziwill and Prince Stanislas Radziwill of Poland. Carole and Anthony were best friends with Radziwill’s cousin, John Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Carolyn. Shortly before the Radziwill’s fifth wedding anniversary, they were devastated when John and Carolyn died in a plane crash in 1999. Four weeks later, Anthony lost his five-year battle with cancer.RELATED: N.Y. Housewives are locked in nasty feud
“What Remains,” Radziwill’s 2005 memoir about her life and coping with loss, became a New York Times best-seller. In 2011 she joined the Bravo reality TV show “The Real Housewives of New York.”
Q. What do you plan to do while you’re in Charlotte?
A. I planned the book signing because I’ll be in town for three days writing a “day in the life of a NASCAR driver” for Departures magazine. I’ll be doing the NASCAR Driving Experience (at Charlotte Motor Speedway). I’m really looking forward to it. I love to drive. That’s my thing. I love to drive alone and listen to the radio. I’m a fast driver and reckless. I’m an experience and adrenaline junkie. I got that rush of adrenaline when I covered the first Gulf War and missile attacks in Afghanistan. I don’t know that much about NASCAR, so this will be my education.
Q. What was your writing process for the novel?
A. I would love to say I got up at the crack of dawn to write for three or four hours before lunch. Unfortunately, I would wake up at the crack of noon. The weeks I was inspired to write, I took notes and developed characters. Then there were weeks when I couldn’t write a single sentence. I didn’t beat myself up. I would go for a walk, read other books and live a little to be inspired.
Q. Which was harder to write, the memoir or the novel?
A. They are both about loss and dealing with loss. My memoir ended with the death of my husband. In the novel, the husband dies in the first chapter in a funny way (a Giacometti sculpture falls onto him). I thought it would be easier to make stuff up, but it’s harder. You become filled with self-doubt because you know one false note in the novel and the reader gets pulled out of the story.
Q. Do you have to do your own hair and makeup for “Real Housewives?”
A. Yes, we have to do it ourselves. I mean I have a guy who does my makeup sometimes, but we pay for it ourselves. My hair is a work in progress. I just dyed it blond. I needed a change, but I think I’m going to keep it for a while. Boys really do like blond hair. I’m a brunette/dirty blonde in my soul, though. Everything I wear on the show is mine. We go away on a lot of fun trips this year. Out West in Montana I wear a lot of vintage long, silk dresses. I’m really looking to introduce color into my wardrobe. I’m a New Yorker, so I have lots of black in my closet.
Q. What’s your best dating tip for women?
A. Zip it. Do not talk too much. There’s a reason (there’s a stereotype) that men like that. It’s because it makes you seem mysterious. You have to maintain your mystery.
Brandi Glanville Questions Lisa Vanderpump’s Friendship With Ex-Husband Eddie Cibrian’s Mistress
RadarOnline.com:
The battle raged on between ladies during the third and final Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion with fights between Lisa Vanderpump and Brandi Glanville.RELATED: Lisa Vanderpump Slams Claims That She's Quitting RHoBH
First, Glanville and Vanderpump’s fractured relationship came into question.
“Brandi, do you believe what Lisa is saying?” Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen asked Glanville.
“No,” Glanville stated. “She told me, ‘You’re losing your audience.’ And then, I lost my friend.”
The NY Times best-selling author continued to corner Vanderpump about why she hung out with Scheana Marie – who slept with her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian.
“I feel like I’m being cheated on again by the same women. If there was a fire burning, and it was me and her, who would you save?’
Vanderpump responded, “I wouldn’t let any of my waitresses burn to death. Scheana isn’t a friend. She’s a waitress and she’s on the show.”
Trying to help Vanderpump understand, Foster interjected: “As a women who went through infidelity, I couldn’t see that woman. It was a deal-breaker.”
“It brings me back to a funky place. You have been with one man for a very long time,” Glanville said about Vanderpump always bringing Scheana around. “It isn’t fun to keep remembering that.”
Cohen asked the paid if they thought there was any hope to fix their friendship.
“I hope at some point,” Glanville said.
Vanderpump hesitated before saying: “I’d like to think so.”

Apollo Nida Says Bravo Edited Out Birthday Speech To Phaedra Parks To Make Him Look Bad
EnStarz.com:
On top of facing serious fraud charges and rumors that he is splitting with his reality TV star wife, Apollo Nida is now clapping back at The Real Housewives of Atlanta crew for making him look bad.RELATED: Kandi Burruss Celebrates Bachelorette Party With Phaedra Parks and Porsha Stewart (PHOTOS)
During the most recent episode that aired March 23, Apollo was giving his wife Phaedra Parks a speech for her birthday. In the clip he seemed to not have much to say except "Thank you for having my children and goodnight."
A fan confronted him on Twitter for his seemingly bland speech, writing, "that birthday [speech] sucks!!! #RHOA"
Nida defended himself and said it was the editing that was off.
"It was really good but they edited it & that's something I can't control."
He also told Sister 2 Sister magazine that the clip isn't the only time the Real Housewives of Atlanta team has made him look bad.
"When you're looking at the edited version, it's totally different than what the real thing is. Man, do you know I gave her a long speech? I gave her a 15 minute speech. That's what the show does. It makes me look like a [jerk]."
He also told the magazine what else viewers didn't get to see.
"My speech, it was whole-hearted. I really do admire my wife."
He added that fans didn't get to see how he also told his wife during his speech that she was, "the most magnificent mother that a child could have" and that he's "really blessed that she is in [his] life."
Bethenny Frankel Allegedly Demanding ‘Hair, Makeup, A Producer Title & Multimillion Dollar Salary’ For New Reality Show
RadarOnline.com:
Bethenny Frankel’s talk show was canceled, but she still thinks she’s a superstar. As the reality TV diva works on landing her next big gig on the small screen, RadarOnline.com has learned that she’s presenting potential bosses with a list of crazy demands that come with signing her on for a new show.RELATED: Bethenny Frankel’s ex wants her to pay his legal fees
“Bethenny has crazy demands because she is coming from a place where she had her own show and was the highest paid housewife when she left the housewives,” a source tells Radar. “It’s going to be a multimillion dollar deal 100%. She expects to be paid more than what she was paid when she was on Real Houewives of New York.”
But that’s not all. Bethenny also has her sights set on A-list treatment when she scores her next gig.
“She wants everything: hair and makeup and wardrobe,” the source explains. “She’ll also need a stylist — and everything will have to be paid for by the network.”
On top of that, Bethenny wants to maintain some sort of creative control over her new show.
Says the source, “She’ll also have to be a producer on the show. She wouldn’t do it if she wasn’t producing.”
Though Bethenny is in talks with her former bosses at Bravo, the insider claims she will ultimately go with whichever network is able to give her the most money.
And if Bravo comes out on top, according to the source, the network will most likely have some terms of its own.
“If she makes a deal with Bravo, she will have to make cameos on Housewives,” the source claims. “Part of the deal would be, if she would get her own show, she would have to make cameos because the ratings on RHONY are so low.”
No, Gretchen Rossi Is Not Pregnant
Wetpaint.com:
We’re pretty bummed that Gretchen Rossi will not be a part of The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 9, but at least we know she found love with Slade Smiley and is moving on to greener pastures. We got to know the blonde bombshell for four seasons — but did homegirl just shock us all and reveal that she’s preggers?RELATED: Fans: What Happened to Gretchen Rossi & Alexis Bellino, Kari Wells: EXCLUSIVE
Hold your horses, everyone. When a fan tweeted that “today would be a good day for Gretchen Rossi to announce that she’s pregnant,” the reality star decided to play with our emotions and respond: “Too cute! Not quite yet!”
Darn, we could totally see this being a great time for Gretch and Slade to start a family. Not only did she propose to her man in Season 8 of RHOC, but they are currently appearing on WE’s Marriage Boot Camp. Clearly they’ve worked through whatever problems they went on the show for and are hopefully planning the wedding of the century, so why not add even more good news to the mix?
Sounds like we’ll have to wait a while for Gretchen and Slade to welcome a bundle of joy into the world, but at least we can follow along and await the good news whenever it does happen.
