Kyle Richards Is in Tears After Sister Kim's Arrest – 'I Really Can't Talk About It'

People.com:

We know that Kim Richards was arrested in August for shoplifting and that she was sentenced in that case in October.

On Tuesday's episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, we learned that sister Kyle Richards was so distraught over it that she could barely speak to Lisa Vanderpump.

"I can't really talk about it right now, I really can't," Richards told Vanderpump over the phone, in tears, apparently soon after news of the arrest broke. She ended their conversation to avoid being overheard by her daughter Portia.

Kyle told Vanderpump she heard about Kim's arrest from TMZ, and at the time of their phone call still hadn't talked to her sister. 

"I'm trying to figure everything out right now," she said.

Of course, that has never stopped the other women from asking Kyle about Kim before.

And asking. And asking.  

"My sister Kim right now is a very sensitive topic to me and nobody seems to care," Kyle told the camera at the hour's end, after Vanderpump again brought up the arrest while the women attended a white party in the Hamptons. "It's unf---ing believable."

Vanderpump seemed to want some clarity on what state of mind Kim must have been in at the time of her arrest, speculating that such behavior proved Kim wasn't of sound mind.

Kyle was having none of it. While she assured the women that she was doing what she could for her sister, she was also quite clear that she didn't want to talk about any of it anymore.

Teresa Giudice's Strict House Arrest Rules Revealed

RadarOnline.com:

Teresa Giudice is out of prison but she’s still on lockdown! RadarOnline.com has all the details of her strict house arrest arrangement.

The saucy Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 43, “is required to check in daily with the Federal Location Monitoring program that is overseeing her house arrest,” an insider explained. “The ankle bracelet Teresa must wear until February also gives officials her exact location.”

But that’s not all. The source revealed, “While under house arrest, Teresa must be home no later than 9 pm. If she has a work commitment later than that, she must get prior approval.”

“It’s embarrassing for Teresa because she wants to go into New York City with her friends, but that will have to wait for a bit.”

Indeed, Giudice will be required to wear the ankle bracelet until February 5, 2016.

Giudice “isn’t a fan of wearing the ankle bracelet because it’s cumbersome and bulky,” the source previously told Radar.

During recent filming for Real Housewives of New Jersey, however, Giudice, 43, was pressured to reveal it on camera. “She wasn’t happy to do it, but knew Bravo wanted it for the show,” the source previously said.

Phaedra Parks Addresses the Controversy Surrounding Todd Tucker Workout Video

Bravo.com:

The issue of me owing money to Todd Tucker for production of a prenatal workout video has gotten completely misrepresented and needlessly become the source of harsh feelings. Let me set the record straight for those who lack the necessary rudiments. 

First of all, this business matter is between TTucker Productions and Nida Fitness. Nida Fitness is co-owned by me and my husband. Nida Fitness hired TTucker Productions to produce a prenatal fitness video. Post-production on the video was never completed and therefore the final payment was not made. The project has been in limbo. It is disconcerting to see that Todd opted to discuss the matter with everyone, except the business owners of Nida Fitness; thereby turning this business matter into a personal attack and assault on my character. 

After I became aware that this matter was circulating the rumor mill, as a professional businesswoman, I invited Todd to come to my office to discuss. In good faith, I wrote him a check for half of the outstanding balance. Presently, I am still waiting on the final cut. Upon receipt of a commercially acceptable, finished product, I will cut the final check. Everybody knows that the final payment follows the final deliverable.

Best,
Phaedra

Michaele Salahi's Former Husband Tareq Marries Business Partner Lisa Spoden

WaPo.com:

What happens after you crash the White House, get called before Congress, try to revive a failing Virginia winery, claim your estranged-wife was kidnapped, get a divorce, try to run for governor (then Congress) and eventually scrap all that to run a luxury cruise line? If you’re Tareq Salahi, a happy ending– or so he hopes.

Salahi, 47, the polo-playing former co-star of the one season blunder “Real Housewives of DC,” married his newest business partner Lisa Spoden, 54, on New Year’s day. Salahi and Spoden, who co-run a cruise ship charter company called Hotels at Sea, announced their engagement in November. A month later they threw their own splashy engagement party for 300 guests. Salahi’s mother Corinne, with whom he had a strained relationship because of a family dispute over their former winery, made an appearance, we’re told.

The pair, who throughout their courtship have been that couple whose social media feeds are stuffed with filtered us-ies boasting one international backdrop after the other, were married aboard a Norwegian Cruise Line headed for the British Virgin Islands. Spoden wore a sequined champagne gown and Salahi, looking much more svelte than he did during his stint on RHODC, sported an all-white tux with a nehru jacket. After the outdoor ceremony the newlyweds headed to the ship’s club, according to Facebook.

Spoden told us back in November that she and Salahi were “a perfect fit both in love and work,” a description that could easily fit on a TV screen as an “unscripted” tag line. Like her new husband (and his ex-wife Michaele, whose soul recognized Journey guitar hero Neal Schon as her soul mate during their 2013 live TV nuptials) Spoden isn’t camera shy. She was attached to an alleged reality show about lobbyists in 2014 that never panned out, seeing as how no network or production crew was behind it.

Keshia Knight Pulliam started off 2016 in a huge way, getting engaged to longtime love Ed Hartwell! Anyone who can pull off a romantic New Year’s Day engagement is totally interesting in our book, so of course we wanted to know more about this special dude. Click through to learn five facts about Ed!

Ed was a ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ cast member 

While Ed was married to first wife Lisa Wu, he appeared on Seasons 1 and 2 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta! The storylines followed Ed and Lisa’s marriage, along with their joint business. Lisa and Ed’s relationship problems were definitely chronicled; the couple married in December 2005, and were divorced by October 2011.

He was drafted into the NFL in 2001
Ed’s an NFL star, picked in the fourth round of the NFL draft in 2001. The linebacker went on to play for five teams before eventually retiring: Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons, Cincinnati Bengals, Oakland Raiders.

He played for the United Football League 
The lesser known football organization, the United Football League (UFL), drafted Ed in 201o to play for the Las Vegas Locomotives.

None are still in business, unfortunately.

Bitter Ex-'Real Housewife' Brandi Glanville Calls Lisa Vanderpump A 'Cunt' After Her Dog Dies

RumorFix.com:

Ouch! Where’s the Christmas spirit, y’all?!

It’s no secret that Brandi Glanville and Lisa Vaderpump have been battling a feud among themselves for quite some time now, but right when we thought the bad blood might finally be dying down, Glanville swoops in with some more nastiness!

Lisa, who is currently mourning the loss of her dog Daddio,received a “hateful” text from the reality TV star while he was out at PUMP celebrating the rescue and arrival of two dogs who were saved from being murdered at the Yulin Festival.

“Merry Christmas vanderC*** and yes I am having my moment AND it’s amazing!!! How is yours???? Haha haha #karmasabitch Or is it a c***?? Hahahaha,” Brandi wrote in a text to Lisa.

Of course, it didn’t take long until Lisa passed along the message to TMZ, saying, “It’s sad to have that much hatred in your heart especially at this time of year. Our Lil Daddio meant the world to us. Anyway, happy Christmas.”

But Brandi insists she had no idea that Daddio had died, telling Real Mr. Housewife that she called Lisa a c*nt because she was talking crap about her on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“If you’re going to be on a television show and talk shit about me when I’m not there to defend myself expect a nasty text calling you a c**t in response. I had no knowledge of her dog dying. I am an animal advocate myself and have always rescued pets. My two dogs I have now are rescues. I don’t use my animals as accessories. Sorry she lost her dog, but my text had nothing to do with that.”

Who Is Gizelle Bryant? The 'Real Housewives Of Potomac' Star Was Bound To End Up On Bravo

Bustle.com:

Bryant certainly has a lot going on and seems to be a fit for reality television. She's far from the kind of person who puts all of her eggs in one basket. Bryant is focused on her family as well as entrepreneurship — something that is very important for a Real Housewife — and she even has pre-Real Housewives Bravo connections. She is a well-rounded person that I am definitely interested in watching on RHOP. For now, get to know more about the woman who could be your next favorite Housewife.

She Is A Single Mom

Bryant is a very involved mother of three daughters named Grace, Angel, and Adore with her ex-husband Jamal.

She Is A Philanthropist

She is very involved in many charities. One of her biggest passions is working with the city council of Birmingham, Alabama to help raise funds to revive the community.

She Is Working On A Makeup Line

The new reality star is working on a makeup line that specializes on meeting the specific needs of women with color. Her line is set to come out in 2016.

She Has A Political Family

Bryant's father, Curtis Graves, was the first African American to serve as a member of the Texas House of Representatives. He also worked for NASA later in life.

She Already Had Bravo Connections

It was only a matter of time before Bryant ended up on Bravo. She has been seen hanging out with Thicker Than Water's Britney Tankard. She has had Twitter conversations with Real Housewives of Atlanta alum NeNe Leakes in the past. She has also sold her own line of baked goods in Top Chef contestant Timothy Dean's restaurant.

People.com:

Teresa Giudice is keeping busy with sister-in-law Melissa Gorga after being released from prison on Dec. 23.

On Wednesday, the The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars were spotted heading to a gym class both dressed in all-black ensembles and carrying yoga mats.

Giudice, 46, who was carrying a bright pink mat, had her hair down and a wide smile across her face, also spent New Years Eve with Gorga. 

"About last night," Gorga, 36, captioned in the picture. "Bring it on 2016!!"

Although Giudice and Gorga haven't gotten along in the past, they have put their differences in the past around the holiday season.

"It was the first time Melissa and Teresa have seen each other in over a year," a source told PEOPLE. "The holiday spirit was definitely in the air. Everyone got along well, exchanged gifts. Very happy night."

Giudice, who spent 15-months in prison, is enjoying every moment with her family before her husband Joe, 43, starts his prison sentence in March.

Who Is Robyn Dixon? The 'Real Housewives Of Potomac' Star Is A Power PR Player

Bustle.com:

I think we can all agree that when Bravo announced its next installment of the wildly popular Real Housewives franchise was headed to Potomac, Maryland that we all scratched our heads a bit, wondering just how a sleepy Maryland town would fit in with the big-city glamour of the likes of Beverly Hills, New York, and Atlanta. After all, the fun of watching the Housewives from any city is to see not only the drama when things get heated between the crew, but to see the luxe mansions and hip hot spots where they shop, dine, and play. But the cast is proving to have some very interesting additions, and I can't wait to see what this crew will have in store. It's exciting to see such a diverse, multi-faceted cast, including a PR power player named Robyn Dixon.

In the trailer for the upcoming season, we learn that the ladies know Potomac isn't the most well-known hood, but they insist: "If you haven’t heard of Potomac, that’s fine, because that means we’ve done a great job keeping it a nice little secret."

As for Dixon, she doesn't have much of a social media presence (yet), but I were able to find out some great tidbits about her. Here's what fans can learn about Dixon so far:

She's The Ex-Wife Of A Professional Basketball Player

Dixon was married to NBA player Juan Dixon for seven years, and the two remain close, still living together even after their split. That will surely bring some crazy TV moments!

She's A Publicist And Event Manager

She works for TAA PR, a Washington D.C.-based agency that specializes in "fashion, design, entertainment, hospitality and the luxury lifestyle sectors."

She's The Mom To Two Very Active Boys

In her role as mom to 7-year-old Corey and 6-year-old Carter, she is kept busy by their non-stop schedules. And they love basketball, just like dad!

Kathy Wakile's Son Joseph Survives Car Crash 'Without a Scratch'

People.com:

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Kathy Wakile's teenage son is okay after crashing his Jeep into a tree to avoid a deer over Christmas.

"He climbed out and got out, thankfully, without a scratch," Wakile, 50, told Bravo's Daily Dish in an interview Thursday. "And the deer was safe and Joseph was safe. And we met every rescue worker in the neighborhood and they were so wonderful. And they welcomed us to the neighborhood with a quick response and made sure everything is okay and, thankfully, he's okay. What a way to end an old year." 

Wakile – who is cousins with RHONJ costar Teresa Giudice – also posted Instagram photos of the accident.  

Wakile added that the scare "put everything into perspective" as a reminder to "just slow it down and take a breather and be thankful for all your blessings and your health and the safety of your family."
