The “Real Housewives of Orange County” reunion part two airs on Monday July 16 at 8:00p.m. Be prepared for Vicki Gunvalson to make the accusation that soon-to-be-ex-husband Donn had a 20 year affair. Now the RHOOC personality is walking away from divorce negotiations with the former couple’s Orange County mansion.RELATED: The Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion Recap: The Claws Are Out
TMZ reports that Vicki Gunvalson, 50, “scored a multi-million dollar haul” in her “drawn-out divorce”. Reportedly the former couple has been working out the settlement details since Vicki filed for divorce from Donn, 60, in 2010. TMZ has obtained the legal documents that show Vicki has been granted sole ownership of the 5,400 square foot Coto de Caza home. The mansion sits on a one-acre plot of land, and has a pool that features a waterfall. The couple had put the house on the market for $2.65 million dollars but had not been able to sell at that price.
In the RHOC season seven opener, Vicki claims her “tank is full and she’s driving into her future” with new love interest Brooks Ayers. All season long Vicki battled friends, family and foes over her relationship with the seemingly unemployed, child support avoiding father of four. Brooks Ayers, 45, a lifelong resident of Mississippi, has relocated to Orange County and now lives with Vicki Gunvalson in her Coto de Caza home.
Melissa Gorga performed to a crowd of 10,000 on Sunday's Real Housewives of New Jersey during a concert appearance at New York City's Beatstock music festival, but two of her closest family members -- nieces Gia and Milania Giudice -- weren't even sure the mom of three could pull it off.
"Melissa stinks!" sniped Teresa Giudice's daughter Milania as she and her sister debated whether their aunt would perform her single, "Rockstar," live rather than lip-synch. In the end, Gorga, 32, wowed the Beatstock crowd -- and won raves from her sister-in-law, Teresa, 40.
"I never knew Melissa was a really good dancer and I'm actually happy to support her," the Giudice family matriarch said after Gorga took the stage, coached by Jennifer Lopez's choreographer ex, Cris Judd.
Giudice's performance compliments were just the beginning of the sisters-in-law's attempt to make nice before taking off on their family road trip to Napa Valley, Calif.
"Teresa and I are trying to build our relationship. We're 100 percent better and I think I like it," Gorga admitted of Giudice, who previously made a habit of slamming the Gorga family even after attending a therapy session with her brother, Joe Gorga.
As their Napa trip approaches, Giudice appears to have shifted her focus from foes Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita to the Gorgas -- in a positive way. "This trip is not about Jacqueline and Caroline," she reasoned. "This trip is about going away with my brother, and Melissa and Joe and I having the fun times we used to have."RELATED: 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' recap: No business like show business
Watch out Paris, there's beaucoup de drama coming your way!RELATED: You're not fooling anyone! Brandi Glanville tries to separate herself from mystery man as she steps out looking white hot for date
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are going to be leaving this weekend to embark on their first international trip as a group, and they have picked the French capital as their getaway destination, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
As we previously reported the ladies have taken several short trips this season to Ojai, California, and Las Vegas, Nevada, and the trips are always booze filled with LOTS of tears and drama.
Most recently, the cast was in Las Vegas to shoot a special episode of the show. Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife, Brandi Glanville, was taking pole dancing lessons in preparation for a sexy new gig hosting bachelorette parties. During the disastrous trip to Ojai, Taylor Armstrong had a "catastrophic meltdown" during the weekend spa getaway because she was heavily intoxicated the entire trip!
Lisa Vanderpump, Brandi Glanville, Kyle Richards and Yolanda Hadid are all Europe bound, with Taylor Armstrong still on the fence when it comes to joining the ladies or not.
"Taylor is still trying to decide whether or not she wants to go," a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. "Taylor is just acting very sneaky and secretive recently. It's almost as if she is trying to create some mystery around her. Adrienne Maloof decided not to go because the other girls keep ganging up on her, and it just got to the point of being utterly ridiculous. Kim Richards most likely won't go even though the other ladies want her to, because she just wants to spend time with her kids. Kim doesn't feel quite strong enough yet to go overseas and wants to put her sobriety first."
The third season Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will premiere this fall on Bravo.
Season 7 of The Real Housewives of Orange County has been a bumpy ride for original cast member and fan favorite Vicki Gunvalson. Finally free from her marriage to Donn (although they’re not yet divorced), Vicki found love again in boyfriend Brooks Ayers... only to start feuding with daughter Briana and best friend Tamra Barney over their opinion of Vicki’s new man. (Hint: They don’t approve).RELATED: Vicki Gunvalson's Boyfriend Brooks Ayers Plans To Sue ABC Over 'Deadbeat Dad' Allegations
To top that off, Briana and her boyfriend dropped a bombshell on Vicki by announcing that they not only eloped in Vegas, they’re expecting their first child.
Now that the season has wrapped (Part 1 of the reunion aired last night; Part 2 of the reunion airs Monday, July 16, on Bravo at 8 p.m.), Vicki took a few moments to reflect with Wetpaint Entertainment.
Wetpaint Entertainment: How is your relationship with Briana now?
Vicki Gunvalson: My relationship with Briana is amazing. We definitely went through a month or so of conflict, but we are amazing now. She and Ryan moved back into my home, and they are fixing up the baby's room and have decided to help me around this big house.
Ryan unfortunately has to return back to Afghanistan in November, and Briana really wanted to have me near her to help her out. They are very happy together — and once Ryan returns in 10 months, they will be purchasing a home. All is good!
Has Briana's pregnancy brought you closer again? What are you looking forward to about welcoming your first grandchild?
Yes, absolutely. I am teaching Briana how to sew pillows and baby crib bedding, and we spend our nights together making dinner and taking the dogs for a walk. I am looking forward to watching my daughter love her child unconditionally, as I have loved her and Michael. I think she will finally understand that you love your children sometimes so much it hurts.
What did you think when you watched your fight with Tamra on-screen? Do you still feel the way you felt then?
I am embarrassed and saddened on how I reacted. Hindsight of course is always 20/20 vision; we should have just left and discussed it off camera on another day. Unfortunately, the problem between Tamra and myself had been brewing for a few months, and my patience had worn thin.
I'm saddened and hurt that we have drifted, and wished it had never happened. I was in a very tough place, and it was unfortunate she was making me choose between her or Brooks. When cameras were off, we were all friends — when the cameras came on she was a different person towards Brooks.
What was your experience with this season's reunion?
I feel it was a very good reunion, until the last hour, and then it turned ugly. I hope my fans will be proud to support me as this season comes to a close. Overall, new friendships were made and others were tested, but that's life. Our life is played out in front of the camera, but we all understand that is the essence of the show. For me, to close my seventh season, as the only original cast member, makes me only look forward to a bright future!
Alexis has been very outspoken about the way you've had her back and been a true friend. Do you feel the same way about her?
Absolutely! I really have come to love Alexis. She's an amazing woman, mother, and wife and has always been very real, kind, and honest with me. It's nice to be around someone who doesn't want to judge or pick a fight with someone all the time.
It may seem like a drastic move to some but Caroline Manzo has defended her daughter Lauren’s decision to have lap band surgery. The straight-talking The Real Housewives Of New Jersey star went on Bethenny Frankel’s talk show with her daughter Friday saying she supported the 24-year-old’s decision.
Caroline, 50, said: “I don’t consider it a desperate measure. I saw it as a means to an end and she’s tried everything.
“We’ve supported her in every which way but when we saw her losing herself and not making good decisions…about just getting up every day and living and smiling…and at that point it’s like it’s not about what you want anymore. It’s about what we have to do.”
Asked by Bethenny if the Manzo family treated the situation like an intervention, Caroline said: “It was.”
Lauren has lost 30 pounds since having the surgery in September 2011 and hopes to lose 30 more. She says the procedure was not a quick fix and insists her decision to go under the knife had nothing to do with being on TV. She said: “I just hated me."RELATED: 'It's the best thing I've ever done!' Real Housewives star Caroline Manzo's daughter Lauren hails stomach surgery weight loss
Bethenny – who was one of the original Real Housewives Of New York – also confronted Caroline about her ongoing feud with Teresa Giudice. Asked if she would ever speak to her fellow housewife again, she said: “I choose not to.”
Caroline also wouldn’t commit to returning for another series of RHONJ saying only: “We’ll see.”
New job, same problems! I can see that Jill Zarin has definitely turned over a new leaf – and is taking her professionalism to her next gig!

Sounds like Heather Dubrow has reached her verdict when it comes to Alexis Bellino.
Real Housewives of Orange County newcomer Dubrow joined Bellino and the other women for an eventful season seven -- and on this past Sunday night's reunion (part one of two), Dubrow was blunt with Bellino.
"I've never seen anybody treat a [TV] crew the way you treat this crew," former actress Dubrow sniped as Andy Cohen moderated.
"She speaks to them like trash and like they are beneath her."
As Bellino shook her head in disagreement, Dubrow yelled: "Take this as a moment to look inside of yourself -- and if everyone says you're dead, it's time to lie down!"
Dubrow explained how things now stand with Bellino to Us Weekly at Thursday's premiere of Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey presents Dragons in L.A. "For me, I've really tried to restart with Alexis a few times, and right after the reunion I thought we were on the road to recovery," she said. "And then she turned around and trashed me in an interview. And I thought, 'you know what? At some point you have to know when to shut the door,' so I think I've shut the door."
As it happens, Bellino also attended Thursday's circus bash -- but she and Dubrow successfully avoided each other. And Bellino explained to Us that, other than Vicki Gunvalson, she's not in contact with other castmates, which also include Tamra Barney, Gretchen Rossi.RELATED: Alexis Bellino Responds to “Jesus Jugs” and Getting Ganged Up on at the RHoOC Reunion — Exclusive!
"Vicki and I are still in a lot of contact. The other girls and I. . .We're not talking."
Indeed, Bellino claimed she's mulling whether to return for another season. "I don't know at this point.. Honestly, I think I've taken a pretty good beating and I don't know."
Intent to prove that not only does she throw birthday parties for her children, but her in-laws are always invited - Melissa Gorga went on....

A rep for Nene Leakes is denying a rumor that the reality TV star assaulted a Real Housewives of Atlanta producer. MediaTakeOut reported on Thursday that Nene might get axed from the program because of the alleged incident. According to the gossip website:RELATED: NeNe Leakes and Kandi Burruss fight?
“…Nene and producers had been butting heads over filming since production began two months ago – and this week, it got PHYSICAL. Our insider claims that NeNe ‘struck’ one of the producers in the FACE during a scuffle.”The website goes on claim:
“We’re told that the housewives are leaving today on their annual ‘Housewives Trip’ and when they return, the powers that be will decide what to do with NeNe.”A rep for Bravo and a rep for Nene tell RumorFix that Nene will not be fired because the “physical assault” never happened. And Nene had this to say about the gossip just moments ago, writing on Twitter:
“I really do appreciate the press but can u guys come up wit a better story than that.”
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong is back dating again, but don't expect to see her love life covered on the upcoming season of the hit Bravo television show, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.RELATED: Inside ‘Real Housewives’ Star Taylor Armstrong’s Lawsuit Settlement
As previously reported, Taylor's estranged husband, Russell Armstrong took his own life last August amid his marriage troubles with Taylor and ever increasing financial problems.
"Taylor is relieved filming is almost over for the new season as she has been dating and she's had to sneak around to keep it off camera," a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. "Taylor isn't getting serious about anyone but she has definitely been dating. However, Taylor doesn't want her love life to play out in front of cameras and she believes she will be vilified by viewers for dating. Taylor has moved on with her life though and thinks the next natural step is to put herself out there. Taylor has talked about wanting to find the right person and possibly even getting married again one day. She is open to the idea and feels that she has learned so much by her past mistakes."
Kim Richards recently had a party at her house where she unveiled her new nose to her cast mates, and although Taylor made an appearance she soon sneaked out the backdoor to meet a guy!
"Taylor ducked out early so she could sneak off and meet up with her date," the source says. "I think she also left early because Kim didn't have any alcohol there because it was also a sobriety party. Kim has come so far in her recovery and wasn't serving any booze that night."
It's been a rough year for Armstrong as she has been leaning on the bottle heavily to deal with the stress in her life and suffered a catastrophic meltdown during filming with the ladies during a getaway trip to Ojai.
"Taylor was all over the place while the cast was shooting at the Ojai Valley Inn," a source previously told RadarOnline.com. "She would start drinking very, very early in the day. The ladies are all very concerned about her, especially Kyle [Richards]. They have spoken off camera about their desire for Taylor to stop drinking, but so far, nothing has happened. Taylor had a catastrophic meltdown on camera during the trip that will truly shock viewers when they see it on air this fall."
