Camille Grammer Admits ‘It’s Been A Tough Couple Of Weeks’

RadarOnline.com:

Camille Grammer is fighting mad about the nasty custody battle she’s in with her ex-husband Kelsey and has admitted that she’s having a rough time with the situation.


“It’s been a tough couple of weeks,” Camille told On Air with Ryan Seacrest on 102.7 KIIS FM Monday.


As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Camille filed for primary custody of her two children, Jude and Mason last week, amid claims that Kelsey wanted to split them up and only have their son live with him.


She confirmed to Ryan that despite her ex’s denials, he did want to split up their children.


“Yes…there was another document released showing it, so there was proof that it was stated,” Camille said about backing-up her claims that Kelsey wanted custody of their son only.


Taking the high road, Camille said, “I’m really trying to reach out to him and I think it’s really important for us to be cordial to one and other to raise our children properly. It’s really... for me... it’s all about our kids and what’s good for them and stability and to know that they’re loved and hopefully work towards an agreement on this.”


Fellow Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmate Adrianne Maloof was also air and she said that while it gets “difficult at times, having cameras following you 24/7,” that she really had “a lot of fun,” filming season 1 of their hit reality show.


“I had a difficult first season,” Camille admitted though.


There have been photos of the cast together shooting season 2, but neither woman would confirm details about the drama that is sure to happen on camera this time.


“Vanderpump is causing problems,” Adrianne joked.

Teresa Giudice Calls Cousin Kathy Wakile “Two-faced”

RealityTea.com:

And on goes the drama off screen for the Real Housewives of New Jersey.


Teresa Giudice once again graces the cover of In Touch Weekly magazine, this time around under the heading “I’m Over It.” And Teresa, 39, isn’t really over the show, but more over her first cousin Kathy Wakile, 45, whom she feels has turned on her.


“Kathy’s trash-talking me,” Teresa complains. “Really, she’s kind of two-faced and she’s taken it to a whole other level. Everyone who watches the show will eventually see that side of her.”


Teresa goes on to reveal that she and Kathy were more like sisters than cousins growing up, and continued to be close, until Kathy switched her allegiance to her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga. “Kathy’s really tight with Melissa,” she notes.


Teresa adds that Kathy’s budding friendship with Melissa isn’t the only problem but that she also feels betrayed when Kathy allows her husband, Richie Wakile, to tease her. “He’s always on me, saying stupid stuff like, ‘How many times have you gone to the mall this week Teresa?’ He is very arrogant, and Kathy never sticks up for me.”


As for Kathy, she wrote in her Bravo blog recently: “[Richie] is a joker and likes to tease everyone. To quote my husband, he doesn’t give a ‘rat’s ass’ about how much Teresa spends.” Teresa goes on to add that she’s tired of being the punching bag for her relatives. “How can they treat me like this? I’m just over it!” she states. Seems like everyone else is the problem except for Teresa.

Tamra Barney to Jeana Keough: My Life Is "None of Your Business"

USmagazine.com:

There's nothing like a Real Housewife scorned!


On Sunday's season finale of The Real Housewives of Orange County, former Housewife Jeana Keough returns...and continues to make waves with foe Tamra Barney.


As the above preview clip shows, Barney can't control her anger toward Keough, who reportedly told an Orange County newspaper that Barney falsely accused ex-husband, Simon, of abuse because she was jealous of his new girlfriend.


Encouraged by Housewife Peggy Tanous to make amends with Barney and explain how her quotes were taken out of context, Keough remains level-headed.


"They called me to talk about Vicki [Gunvalson]," Keough explains. "There was two sentences about you. I said 'I don't believe he hit her, ever.' You would have said something. You told us if you stubbed your toe!"


At that point, Barney flies off the handle. "I'm not hurt, I'm disgusted," Barney seethes. "I'm disgusted at the human being you've turned into. It's none of your business. Stay out of my f--king life, do you understand me?!"

Ramona Singer: I Don't Have a Drinking Problem

People.com:

Every Real Housewives fan knows Ramona Singer loves Pinot Grigio, but does the New York City star have a drinking problem?


"Do I overdrink? No. I drink with responsibility," Ramona told In the Mixx at a recent event for Hamptons Magazine at the Southampton Social Club. "I drink with a beautiful dinner. I would rather have my one or two glasses of Pinot Grigio than dessert which is 700 calories."


Though she admits her name has become synonymous with the white wine, she's using that to her advantage with her own line, Ramona Pinot Grigio.


And besides, the 54-year-old explains, drinking comes with being a Real Housewife.


"All I can say is, we're filmed in social events. If you look at anytime I have a drink in my hand, look what LuAnn [de Lesseps] is drinking. The other people are drinking," Ramona said. "The only person who doesn't drink is Jill [Zarin]. She only drinks Diet Coke – and you wonder why? But anyway, all the other Housewives shows – they're all drinking."


Does it bother her that her costars, like Jill, have said they worry about her drinking? Or that she's portrayed on the show as always wanting a glass of her beloved wine?


"I actually said to Bravo, I called them up I said, 'Wait, is the story line so bad you have to make [my drinking] a story line? Because you know I don't have a drinking problem,' " she said.

Peggy Tanous: Alexis and I Aren’t Close Anymore

iVillage.com:

When Peggy Tanous first joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County for season 6 (the Bravo show’s finale is on June 5 at 10 p.m. ET), Alexis Bellino was her closest friend. But as viewers have seen throughout the season, they’re no longer scheduling regular playdates with their kids.


"We’ve gone on different paths in our lives," says Tanous, who watched Bellino poke fun at her breast implants during one episode that still makes her bristle. "She’s in her early 30s and I’m in my early 40s and that’s a big difference. I miss the friendship that we did have but I also know that people come in your lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime and if you’re not moving in the same direction, you part your ways. I don’t have any animosity towards her."


Yet sparks will fly between Tanous and Bellino on the explosive two-part Real Housewives of O.C. reunion show (which begins airing June 12), when Tanous asks her former friend if Alexis’ husband Jim ever told her that they once dated.

Ramona Singer: 54 And Having A Baby!?!

Popeater.com:

You've probably noticed that the ladies of 'Real Housewives of New York' have been pulling out all the stops this season in the drama department, but no one is more determined to soak up the spotlight than Ramona Singer, who rolls out a big, weird surprise in next month's finale.


"Ramona sees herself as the next Bethenny," a Bravo insider tells me. "She insisted that in almost every scene she appeared promoting her own wine [Ramona Pinot Grigio], however that backfired when the producers showed her drinking so much it led many to wonder if she has a problem."


But the 54-year-old Ramona is saving her biggest attention-grabbing moment for last during the season finale, which I'm told airs July 25, when she'll appear convinced she's with child and takes a pregnancy test under the watchful eye of friend Sonja Morgan.


A chatty member of the Housewife family confirmed the twist, which was alluded to in a promotional video where she's asked "Can you pee on a stick and keep it a secret?"


That split-second moment had commenters on TVontheRocks.com buzzing back when it was released in March, but nothing has come of it until now.


"It's so pathetic. LuAnn is singing a duet with a superstar performer and Ramona decides to announce she might be having a baby," my insider says. "She's 54 and thinks she's pregnant."

Yunno, besides Cindy Barshop's constant petty whining (Hangergate) and haughty contemptuousness (really Bravo, if she thinks she's so much better than the women than get rid of her), the 4th season of RHONYC hasn't been that bad. Then too, the ladies have done pretty good on their own. Indeed, I for one have hardly thought about Bethenny...unless someone mentions her. By the way, I refuse to believe Ramona's really pregnant.

Revealed: The Violent Past of The Real Housewives Of Atlanta's New Star Marlo Hampton

Damn, this chick makes Danielle Staub look like a saint. NeNe better not get up in her face, Marlo might pull out a knife:

The latest series of hit reality show The Real Housewives of Atlanta has not yet hit TV screens - but a new member is already causing controversy.


For it has emerged that Marlo Hampton has a long criminal track record and was snapped for seven different mugshots between 1999 and 2003.


Hampton, who is engaged to NFL player Charles Grant, was booked on a string of different charges by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department while living in Tampa, Florida.


She was first arrested for aggravated battery with great bodily harm in 1999, for which she spent 122 days in custody and was sentenced to time served in September 1999.


In June 2000 she was arrested for a probation violation, for which she was arrested again in February 2001.


In September 2002 Hampton was arrested for buying items with a worthless cheque, and in December 2002 she was arrested on the charge of possession of a firearm/probation violation.


And in July 2003 she was again arrested on a probation violation.


Hampton, 35, says she is not 'ashamed' of her criminal past.


'It has come to my attention that some of my past indiscretions have come to light,' she said in a statement.


'Let me first state that I am not ashamed of my past as that has helped me become a better woman today.


'We all have a past and my hard-knock childhood in and out of the foster care system is a reflection on a bigger issue we are faced with here in America, a broken foster care system.


'My present charge in life is to live with God in my heart and help young women especially from the foster care system avoid the challenges I faced.


'I'm more then just what is being said of me and I have a story to tell.'


Season four of the show will air in the U.S in October.

Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion Gets Nasty

People.com:

"I don't think the way this went down was treated with class or dignity," says Donn, Vicki Gunvalson's estranged husband, of the reunion show for The Real Housewives of Orange County's sixth season.


Indeed!


Between the screaming, the tears and the eye-rolling, there's going to be plenty of insults and accusations – all of which can be seen in a just-released, minute-long trailer for the upcoming episodes.


Tamra Barney, whose troubles with her ex and a new romance have been documented on the show, seems to be at the center of the storm.


"You were sleeping with another guy while your fiancé was dying," she says to Gretchen Rossi, who was engaged to the late Jeff Beitzel.


At one point in a clip of the show, which will air starting June 12 (9 p.m. ET) on Bravo, Tamra shrieks, "Is your ass jealous of the s–– that comes out of your mouth?"


She also accuses Jeana Keough of lying and gets into an argument with Gretchen's boyfriend, Slade Smiley, who accuses her of ... uh, promiscuous behavior.


"You're the lowest form of s–– in the world," Tamra says as she storms off the set.

Joe Gorga Targeted in Paterson Company Lawsuit

If you see Joe Giudice walking around with a huge smirk on his face, it's because he just read this:

“The Real Housewives of New Jersey” cast member and developer Joe Gorga described himself as a “clean guy” who always pays his bills as he finds himself the target of a civil suit seeking more than $25,000.


Starlite Window Manufacturing Co. Inc. of Paterson claims Gorga failed to pay them for a window contract. The company’s attorney said a few subcontractors have sought legal advice from his firm regarding debts they say Gorga owes them.


“They are most upset by Gorga’s display of self-proclaimed wealth on the show while they are owed thousands of dollars from him for their hard work,” said lawyer Darren Del Sardo of Wayne.


Del Sardo does not have any other clients aside from Starlite Window with suits filed against Gorga.


Gorga said Thursday that he is a developer who works on “big projects” and in his line of work “discrepancies happen all the time.” Gorga designs, builds and manages apartment buildings in Paterson.


“They can say what they want,’’ Gorga said Thursday. “I am not an evil guy. I can’t help that I have worked hard all of my life and I have what I have.’’


Gorga said he was given a $100,000 estimate for windows for the Courtland Suites apartment complex in Paterson, but the price went up another $30,000. He said he paid the company the $100,000 he was originally quoted. Gorga said there was no formal agreement for the work because he does business with a handshake.


The suit, filed in Passaic County state Superior Court’s Civil Law Division in September 2010, states that Gorga operated a construction company at 259 Black Oak Ridge Road in Wayne when Starlite Window entered into a contract with him from December 2008 to January 2009 to deliver $25,577.19 worth of windows.


“Plaintiff has demanded that the defendants pay the said sum, but defendants refused and neglected to pay the sum or any part thereof,” the suit states.

Crazy Kelly Bensimon Wants to Get Married and Have a Baby

Of course, she only came to this huge decision after a psychic told her it's time:

Kelly Bensimon went to Morocco on what she calls the "trip of a lifetime," but she could just as easily call it a life-changing trip.


During a birthday party there, the Real Housewives of New York City star met with a psychic – and got a pretty major prediction on the episode which aired last week.


"The psychic in French tells me I think too much, and that I am going to get married and I am going to have a baby," Bensimon, who has two daughters, Sea Louis, 12, and Thaddeus Ann, 10, told In the Mixx at Hamptons Magazine's Memorial Day Party at the Southampton Social Club. "This year I'm not going to have a baby but I'm going to be pregnant and I'm going to get married."


According to Kelly, her sit-down with the fortuneteller at the party wasn't just another parlor game. "I'm on it. I'm like, 'Okay, I'm doing my work. I have to start,' " she said. "Yes, I want to get married and have a baby."


Bensimon finds hope in other women who've made their dreams come true. "Just the other day we hear that Kim Kardashian is engaged," Kelly said. "She is so unbelievable and I have so much respect for her. And to be honest with you I'm not that jealous of many people – I'm just not a jealous person – but the fact that she's so happy and engaged and found true love [with NBA star Kris Humphries], I'm jealous. I am."


"It's amazing," Kelly continued. I'm just so happy for her ... She's wanted it, and that's just so exciting for her."

Yes Kelly, Kim Kardashian--a woman who came to fame thanks to a sex tape--is someone you should have "so much respect" for.

Camille Grammer: Kelsey Only Wants My Son

TMZ.com:

Camille Grammer filed for custody of the two kids she had with Kelsey Grammer because she claims Kelsey only wants his son to come live with him, not his daughter ... sources connected to Camille tell TMZ, but Kelsey's lawyer says it's 100% not true.
