Teresa Giudice Is No Longer on House Arrest


EOnline.com:
Teresa Giudice's days of confinement are officially over.

After the Real Housewives of New Jersey star was released from prison in December, she was still not officially done with her 15-month sentencing. Thus, for the last several months she's had to wear an ankle bracelet under house arrest.

However, E! News can confirm Teresa's sentence is now officially over. Her attorney, James J. Leonard Jr., tells us, "Teresa is no longer on house arrest and no longer wearing an ankle bracelet," 

He adds, "She's very excited and very much looking forward to starting a new chapter in her life." 

Though Teresa has been under house arrest, she was able to do a few things outside of the home, including grocery shopping, working out, going to work and anything that was given permission by her probation officer.

Kenya Moore Says Cast Member Kim Fields 'Is Not a Good Fit' on 'Real Housewives of Atlanta'


UsWeekly.com:
Kenya Moore is hoping that one of her Real Housewives of Atlanta costars will twirl out of her life! In a video interview exclusive with Us Weekly's Ian Drew, the reality star reveals that she would not be disappointed if newbie Kim Fields exits the hit Bravo series.

Moore, 45, and Fields, 46, started off as friends this season when the former sitcom actress made her debut, but they have since feuded bitterly. This week's episode showed Moore even pulling Fields' chair away from the table — with the mom of two still in it.
 
"She's living back in the Living Single days, the Facts of Life days, which was in the '80s, and I just really feel like she's walking around as though she's in her heyday, and she's not and really resents that I'm thriving on this show," Moore tells Us.

Dawn Ward Hit Pop Singer Sinitta After Threatening Her with Champagne Flute, Court Hears


ManchesterEveningNews.com:
Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Dawn Ward attacked pop singer Sinitta during a heated discussion aimed at clearing the air between them, a court has heard.

The So Macho singer, full name Sinitta Malone, is said to have been left “shocked” and “humiliated” after allegedly being shoved and having a napkin thrown at her at the Salmontini restaurant in central London on April 1 last year.

Ward, 42, who is married to former footballer Ashley Ward and features in the ITV reality show, denies one count of common assault at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

The court was shown CCTV of the alleged incident, which shows the pair sitting at a table with two other women and presenter Lizzie Cundy.

Ms Malone, wearing a black dress with white pin-dot pattern and collar detail, and grey heels, took to the witness box to describe the incident.

She said: “She was angry about what I was saying and she has just, you know, gotten angry, and jumped up and sort of shoved me.

“First of all she shoved me in my chest. The second time was like sort of hitting me in the face.

“At the same time I was quite shocked because I didn’t really know what had happened, because I didn’t really expect it to happen at all.”

Lisa Rinna Apologizes To Yolanda Foster For Doubting Her Lyme Disease


People.com:
That's right: Episodes in the making, this week saw Rinna finally sit down with Foster and admit, in perhaps the most remote terms possible, that she had "engaged" in "outside chatter" about Foster's behavior while battling Lyme disease.

Specifically: Were Foster's Instagram posts appropriate for a sick person? Was Foster even really sick with Lyme disease?

Rinna, who met Foster at her home for their clear-the-air conversation, mentioned that this "chatter" also included talk of Munchausen syndrome, which Foster knew nothing about.

She was baffled! And told the camera that she had never even heard that word before, let alone become familiar with the diagnosis. It was of course all nonsense.

And so Rinna, who said she was "not super comfortable" around Foster, apologized to her about participating in the Lyme disease discussions without ever once clearly admitting that she had actively brought it up in previous episodes. That felt like a cop-out designed to create more drama.

But not in Rinna's eyes. At a joint anniversary party for Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump, Rinna said she felt as though the two had talked things through and were now moving on from a place of mutual understanding. 


Foster, speaking to Erika Girardi early in the episode, had a different take.

Calling Rinna "despicable," she wondered rhetorically, "Who in the world has three years to fake being sick?"

Phaedra Parks Was in Flint, Michigan Handing Out Water to Residents


AJC.com:
“Real Housewives of Atlanta” personality Phaedra Parks has been in Flint, Mich. handing out water and meeting with residents beset by lead in their public drinking water.

When we work together there is synergy,” she wrote with one of the images she has posted on her public Instagram page. “We will not sit quietly and allow the government to poison families and children.”

Parks, who is an attorney, is teaming up with other celebrities and attorneys.

President Barack Obama has declared a state of emergency, lawsuits have been filed and federal agencies are investigating who’s at fault.

Jimmy Fallon, Cher, Eminem, Wiz Khalifa, Mark Wahlberg and Meek Mill are among the other celebrities pitching in with donations.

Faye Resnick's Presence Is Now Threatening Kyle & Lisa's Friendship


EOnline.com:
Faye Resnick is having such a pop culture moment that she barely even spoke on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills tonight, and yet, she seemed to be all people could talk about. And now it seems the rejuvenated relationship Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump have been enjoying post-Brandi Glanville may not be strong enough to withstand her persistent presence.

As you'll recall from last week's reminder, Vanderpump is still miffed over Faye's BS from 2012—but don't you dare accuse her of holding a grudge!—and she made sure Kyle knew it over a cup of her patented tea-with-only-as-much-sugar-as-she'll-allow. So hospitable!

"You could've said to me, ‘I'm having a dinner and Faye Resnick's going to be there. I'm letting that orangutan out of its cage,'" Vanderpump told her friend, remaining ever the diplomat. 

"That is really rude," Kyle replied. "I don't like her," Lisa shot back. 

What better time to co-host a joint wedding anniversary party and invite Faye along! And hey, why not include Kathryn Edwards in the mix and force her into another conversation about Faye? That should make for a real great time.

And so Kyle and Lisa gathered all the women on the show in a hotel in downtown Culver City (that someone on the show must have invested in because there's no way these women voluntarily drove there from Beverly Hills) and forced them to dress in corsets and fishnets like French prostitutes (except Yolanda Foster who had the good sense to use her illness to get out of this one). Once the party kicked off, with old friends Camille Grammer and Taylor Armstrong in tow—Sorry, Adrienne Maloof! Maybe your invite got lost in the mail!—Kyle subjected her audience friends to her annual reminder that she can do a full split, which we think means six more weeks of winter since it aired on Groundhog Day.

Karen Huger Speaks On How She Landed the 'Black Bill Gates'



PageSix.com:
Karen Huger didn’t have to look very hard to find the millionaire of her dreams.

As the “Real Housewives of Potomac” star told Page Six during a Twitter chat Monday, her husband fell right into her arms.

“I met my husband at the black caucus. He took me in his arms, asked me to dance and I haven’t left him since,” Bravo’s newest personality shared.

Living a real-life Cinderella story, Karen went from a farm in Virginia to the gated estates of Potomac after marrying Raymond a.k.a. her “black Bill Gates” 19 years ago. While Raymond serves as the CEO and president of the IT-based Paradigm Solutions, the mom of two is embracing her new reality as an empty-nester.

“It’s challenging but very exciting,” she said. “My children are the best thing I’ll ever do.”

While 17-year-old daughter Rayvin will have to watch her mom battle Potomac’s finest from the comforts of a dorm room, Karen is taking her new found fame in stride — one aisle at a time.

“People will walk up to you. Being recognized going to the grocery store has been strange, but nice,” Karen revealed.

As for the “Real Housewives” star she wouldn’t want to meet in the frozen foods section, Karen’s lips are sealed. “I plead the Fifth,” she said.

Teresa Giudice -- Lesbian Sex Was Rampant in Prison


TMZ.com:
Teresa Giudice says "Orange is the New Black" pales in comparison to real-life lesbian free-for-alls in the prison she called home in 2015.

Teresa's releasing a new book in which she says even straight women became "gay for the stay."  She says women would often trade sex for commissary money. 

In a preview of the book, obtained by the New York Daily News, Teresa says there were full blown shower escapades, and nocturnal nookie sessions.  She says, "I could see two women ... writhing around ... I cannot believe this is happening!"  

The "RHONJ" star says there was so much sex the prison's nickname was The Boom Boom Room.
Teresa says she stayed clear of the other inmates in the sex dept. 

She also had a nickname ... "Hollywood."  

Gizelle Bryant Admits That She Can Stir the Pot, Talks Ex's Infidelities


Bravo.com:
Only two episodes of The Real Housewives of Potomac have aired so far, but already the drama is getting hotter than the water inside a crab boil pot. And the woman at the center of much of it is Gizelle Bryant.

However, Gizelle has an explanation for why she seems to have ruffled the feathers of nearly all of her cast members this season. The Daily Dish recently caught up with Gizelle to talk about her early confrontations with her RHOP castmates, Potomac etiquette, and her surprising thoughts about her "THOT-ish" comment.

You've gotten into some drama with a few of your RHOP castmates already. Why do you think that is?
Gizelle Bryant: Who, me? You know, I am — and the other ladies as well — we're all extremely opinionated, and we stand by our opinion fiercely. So you know, it's a little bit of holding my own to Karen [Huger], holding my own to Charrisse [Jackson Jordan] and being highly opinionated about what I feel is right and what happened. I think that right now what we have seen thus far is just a little bit of miscommunication on everyone's part. So hopefully, we can get past it sooner rather than later.

Would you consider yourself hard to get along with or a little bit of a troublemaker?
We've all been asked together who's the troublemaker, and they all pointed to me, which was not nice and poor etiquette. But I can say that I might. I might stir the pot every now and again, yes. I have to admit, yes, every now and again. But when I say I stir the pot, I try to orchestrate situations in which there is a problem, it can be resolved. So if you want to call that stirring the pot, then I'm gonna get a big spoon, and I'm gonna get to stirring.

You tried to apologize to Charrisse and Karen when you sat down with them at that lunch, but were you surprised at how they reacted and how poorly the whole thing went?
Was I surprised? Are you kidding me? Had I known that it would have gone so horribly so fast, I would have never done it. It was like the worst of all situations. First of all, I didn't think they were going to come in upset. I thought they were going to come in, you know, not necessarily happy, but at least on an even playing field. They came in mad. So I was trying to dig myself out of a hole that I didn't even know I was in. And it was difficult, but it allowed me to understand where they were, which was the only thing that came out of the whole thing. I understood at least where they were. And I did apologize, so guess what? Never doing it again. I'm gonna do it once. Not doing it again.

So when they came in angry, did you think that there was any chance of them being open to hearing your apology?
No, no, because I know these ladies. I thought, you know, we'd have a couple sips of wine and we would be talking about the latest nail polish and makeup tips. I really felt like we were gonna get to a good place quickly after we drank some wine. They didn't even wanna order wine. They just wanted to get straight to it. And no, by no means did I think after they came in and I saw the expressions on their face Ã  la Sour Patch Kids, I knew nothing was going to be accomplished.
