Kim Granetell Blasts Other 'Housewives' For Not Paying Their Salon Bills

Hollywoodlife.com:

The petite blonde is sounding off about how the other girls are trying to get services for free and ending up with ‘bad hair’ as a result!

Another day, another story about the rapidly deteriorating financial lives of The Real Housewives of New Jersey! Page Six reports today that Kim Granatelle was overheard at the Oscar Blandi salon saying some of the other Housewives don’t feel they have to pay for services, resulting in, “bad hair, overdone Botox and square breasts.” While she did not go on to name names, viewers of the show will likely have no problem guessing who one of those women may be.

For her part, Kim apparently pays the full $550 coloring fee when she stops by the salon and tips largely according to the report.

New Member Of Real Housewives Of New York City Is Cindy Barshop?

TheHollywoodgossip.com:

Cindy Barshop, founder and owner of Completely Bare, a successful chain of day spas specializing in hair removal, is joining The Real Housewives of New York City.


We actually did a story on her years ago because she's Paris Hilton's bikini waxer. Who knew? To think, only she and a few dozen guys have seen Paris like that.


Anyway. With three locations in Manhattan, plus branches in Palm Beach, Fla. and Scarsdale, N.Y., Cindy Barshop's empire is self-made, and extremely successful.


But it's not all business for her. She's also single mom to twin girls Zoe and Jesse, born in 2009. Adds a source close to the new star: "She's funny and very nice!"


Her casting on The Real Housewives of NYC was confirmed by Us, although the identity of the new housewife has been a carefully-guarded secret all summer.


"We have this new girl coming on. She is very happy with herself," Ramona Singer said. "Not to say I'm not going to get pissed at her or have a fight with her."


Thank goodness.


Barshop replaces the newly-departed Bethenny Frankel. Ramona, Kelly Bensimon, Jill Zarin LuAnn de Lesseps, Alex McCord and Sonja Morgan round out the cast.

Judging from her bio I'm not seeing Cindy being much of a difference-maker.

Joe Giudice will reportedly begin serving his sentence next week.

Teresa's husband has also been fined, according to Radar, to the tune of $1000, and will have his license suspended again for another twelve months.

The photo shows Tim and Michaele posing together at an event the Salahis say took place in 2007.


“I’ve met Tim and we actually worked with him at a youth AIDS fundraiser – he probably doesn’t remember that, but we had a great time,” Michaele told Billy and Kit on Thursday.


In 2007, the Salahis were not reality stars or at all well known, and the style guru could have posed with a slew of people that evening.

"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Caroline Manzo and Big Brother alumni Stephen Baldwin got a dose of reality on Thursday night when they attended a benefit against child trafficking.


"Everybody thinks the world is lollipops and roses, but it's not," Manzo told DNAinfo at the Stop Child Trafficking Now benefit at the Verandah Lounge. 

"This is going on in our backyards, and we don't know about it — but we know what the height of Snooki's hair is."

The housewife, who plays the Momma Bear on the reality show, said she'd first learned about the important issue on Twitter. 


America provides the greatest demand for under-age prostitutes, according to Sundy Goodnight, national campaign director for the advocacy group. Although the number of victims in New York is difficult to pinpoint, she estimates 2,500 to 10,000 young women and children could be held in slavery. Most are from Central America or Eastern Europe.

The “Real Housewives” That Bravo Evicted, Salahi's Not Invited Back?

TheFrisky.com:

The Salahi's are finding themselves unwelcomed once again. Reports are saying that the couple have not been invited back to season two of “The Real Housewives of D.C.” Bravo was hoping the attention surrounding the gatecrashing twosome would bring high ratings to the show, but now the network suspects that Michaele and Tareq are turning viewers off the series. I guess there is such a thing as too much self-promotion. [PopEater]

After the jump, other housewives who found themselves booted out when it was time for a contract renewal.

Caroline Manzo 'Tired' Of Teresa's Drama

RadarOnline.com:

It looks like NJ Housewife Teresa Giudice may have more than just former castmate Danielle Staub rolling her eyes at her ongoing antics.

RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that castmate and friend Caroline Manzo and Teresa are also on the outs.

Caroline has been the one housewife who has always come to Teresa's defense. But now, she is now backing off and is sick of all the drama that seems to follow the feisty mother of four.

"Caroline is not talking to Teresa," an insider revealed to RadarOnline.com exclusively. "She is just tired of all the drama. She is just keeping her distance. She doesn't mind if Teresa is on the show, but they all hate each other now."

The matriarch of the group has always been very vocal on and off the show about protecting her 'family' -- including Teresa, who is now battling bankruptcy and furious that her estranged sister-in-law Melissa Gorga will be joining the show next season.

"She feels that Teresa has gotten to carried away with everything and she is just aggravated with her," the insider added.

If this is true it clearly started when Teresa instigated the whole Danielle hair-pulling drama at The Brownstone last season.

Michaele Salahi Claims She Didn't Stiff Doctor; Read The Lawsuit

RadarOnline.com:

Real Housewives of D.C. star and White House 'gatecrasher' Michaele Salahi claims she didn't short-change a plastic surgeon who is suing her over an alleged unpaid bill, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.


Dr. Navin Singh of Ivy Plastic Surgery Associates, LLC (where he is a partner) and Michaele are due to square off in a Virginia court on Friday, September 17.


The doc alleges Michaele made a partial payment
for going under the knife; RadarOnline.com has learned it was a collagen placement procedure to fill "laugh lines" on each lower cheek.


Dr. Singh told RadarOnline.com Michaele stiffed him over $500: "She had a balance, she told us she'd call it in and we tried to politely call her back, [saying] 'Hey, do you want to give us that credit card number?'


"She said, 'Oh, I don't have that credit card, I'll call it in', and she didn't.


"She seemed like a legitimate person.


"I know $500 seems like a paltry sum for a plastic surgeon, but that's a whole week (worth) of wages for one of my secretaries or coordinator."


However, in an exclusive statement, Michaele told RadarOnline.com that she paid the full $1200 fee, and then proceed to unload on the good doctor.


She said the procedure was a "disaster" and inferred it was performed improperly.
