Karent Sierra: ‘Miami H’wives’ Jaw-dropper Is Dentist To Celebs

NYPost.com:

The first time Karent Sierra shows up in the premiere episode of “The Real Housewives of Miami,” she is having makeup professionally applied at home before heading out to the office in a red Mercedes convertible.

Most viewers will probably think she is stopping off at the dentist’s on the way to, say, a modeling job.

But, no. She’s not visiting the dentist. Sierra is the dentist.

Last year’s Miami edition of the famous reality TV franchise was a huge bomb. (Only the wonky DC “Housewives” edition performed worse.)

It was the kind of crash and burn that ignited talk about the franchise being on its way out. Maybe it was time for Bravo to move on.

The network quietly admitted it made mistakes with the Miami edition — but that the town was the kind of place where “Housewives” kind of women grew on palm trees.

“Housewives” thrives on big money and women of a certain age striving to preserve their looks. What better place than Miami for that?

After last season, Larsa Pippen (wife of NBA star Scottie Pippen), and Cristy Rice (ex-wife of former LA Laker Glen Rice) were shown the door, and magazine editor Alexia Echevarria was reduced to a recurring role. They were replaced by Sierra, model Joanna Krupa, Playboy pinup Lisa Hochstein and attorney Ana Quincoces.

But from early episodes of the rebuilt series -- which premieres September 13 -- it is the drop-dead gorgeous dentist who will be the next breakout star.

“Last season, I think some of them were reserved,” Karent says.

The bombshell Columbian-American dentist greets each patient with a kiss on the cheek and a glass of wine.

Her one-of-a-kind practice — she calls it a “dental spa” — also offers Botox, laser hair removal and other professional grooming services.

“My specialty is cosmetic veneers, which I did on [musician] Jon Secada,” she says.

And yes, she’s accepting new patients.

“I have always had a passion for medicine,” says Sierra, 39, who counts actress Eva Longoria, rapper Pittbull and composer David Foster among her celebrity clientele.

A former model and beauty pagaent winner, she acted in numerous commercials and Spanish soap operas while going to Florida International University.

“I am a person that has a lot of dreams and a lot of goals,” Sierra tells The Post.

Ramona Singer Says Aviva Drescher Drama 'Painful' To Watch

Newsday.com:

The always energetic "Real Housewives of New York City" star Ramona Singer attended the Milly runway show at Fashion Week on Wednesday.

The reality star and businesswoman dished to Newsday about the recent cringe-worthy, drama-filled episodes of the Bravo show.

"Oh, there's more to come," she said of the drama. "It's painful."

Singer discussed her shouting matches with fellow housewife Aviva Drescher, saying the drama from the episode that aired Monday night was too intense for her to post about on Twitter.

"When I got home I started to [tweet], but I just couldn't take it," she said.

So where does her relationship with Drescher stand now?

"I'm cordial to her," she said. "I actually just ran into her today ... and I just kind of nodded and kept walking."

During the show, she sat behind Olympic swimmers Ryan Lochte and Conor Dwyer.

She was dressed in a simple, classic look for the show, wearing a maroon dress by the designer and a long necklace.

"I really love her things because you can wear it to work," she said of Milly. " You feel feminine, sexy and look sophisticated, and go out from day to night."

The Real Housewives of Miami: Meet Lisa Hochstein and Ana Quincoces

TVOvermind.com:

The Real Housewives of Miami return this week and today we continue introducing the new Housewives who are sure to add some much-needed drama to the show this year. Monday, you met Dr. Karent Sierra and Polish model Joanna Krupa, who will take center stage while dishing their own slices of drama to the cast. Now, TVO would like you to meet the triple threat businesswoman Ana Quincoces and professional Housewife Lisa Hochstein.

Ana Quincoces, Esq.

Last year, Alexia Echevarria was considered the resident Cuban Barbie on the Real Housewives of Miami. But Ana Quincoces has stolen that title by having the looks, brains, and resume that would make an actual Barbie doll go, "F*ck that bitch!".  With the hectic occupations of lawyer, chef, and writer under her belt, will Ana be able to add 'reality show star' to her roster?

What Bravo Wants You To Know...

As we've already stated, Ana is a well sought out lawyer and celebrity chef, who has authored three cookbooks and is a partner at her own firm, which she co-owns with her ex-husband. Ana also adores her two daughters Kati (20) and Beba (19) and the three still have family dinner with her ex-husband Robert.

What A Quick Google Search Will Tell You...

Turns out that Chef Ana has tons of cooking videos on YouTube and a personal blog that looks like it is kind of kept up regularly. And her food looks to die for. No wonder her ex-husband hasn't strayed too far from the nest.

Do We Love Her Or Hate Her?

Ana seems like she will bump heads with only one other hard-working Housewife on The Real Housewives of Miami. However, as far as attitude goes, she's a bit reserved for the crowd she's been thrust into. Kind of like if Kathy Wakile from The Real Housewives of New Jersey were to join the ladies of Orange County. 

Not a good fit. With all that said, Ana still maintains a level of intrigue that will be interesting to see, especially the state of affairs with her husband and the situation with Dr. Karent's boyfriend, Rodolfo. Can you say, 'awkward?'

Lisa Hochstein (@lisahochstein )
 
While six out of the seven ladies (plus Alexia) have careers that have firmly established them in the Miami social community, 29-year old Lisa Hochstein only has one talent that has garnered her attention: "Professional Housewife." At least she's honest about that... unlike some other Real Housewives.

What Bravo Wants You To Know...

After marrying Dr. Lenny "Boob God" Hochstein in 2009, Lisa has mostly traveled the world with her husband, who gave her the plastic surgery she unabashedly flaunts around. Calling herself her husband's business card (and I'm only paraphrasing), Lisa is a true Miami socialite who recently purchased a house on Star Island where she resides with Lenny and her two dogs, Leo and Puffy. Lisa has also posed for Playboy three times, meaning she and Joanna Krupa don't mind going nude for the right cause, which in Lisa's case would be money.

What A Quick Google Search Will Tell You...

Unless you want to know about Lenny's background and the surgeries he's done, or Lisa Hochstein, the Los Angeles based artist, then there is nothing else circulating on the web. Except maybe those Playboy photos.

Do We Love Her or Hate Her?

Lisa will butt heads with Lea initially, but let's pray that it is temporary and doesn't carry over into the rest of the season. Why? Remember the 'fight' between Cristy Rice and Lea over that unpaid ticket from Lea's Annual Ball? If you don't, then you are cool and Blessed soul. If you do, then yea, we don't ned hat in our peripheral again. As far as Lisa's interaction with the other women? I think she will be able to bring her own fire to The Real Housewives of Miami just by being herself, which is unapologetically real.

NeNe Leakes Wants To Be The Next Bethenny Frankel

NYPost.com:

NeNe Leakes wants to be the next Bethenny Frankel — and host her own talk show.

“I would keep it real for the whole hour!” the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star says.

“Whatever the topic is, I feel I could talk about anything. Politics, men, money, shoes . . . anything. I wouldn’t want to do a ‘Maury Povich’ show. Baby daddy! Who’s your daddy? Who’s your mama? I wouldn’t want to do that kind of show.”

Leakes — who makes her acting debut tonight on NBC’s “The New Normal” says she’s already “had interviews” about getting her own daytime series — but nothing has firmed up yet.

“It’s just a matter of time,” she tells The Post. “I am here now, because I am supposed to be here. And I guess when it is my time to cross over there, I will be over there. I am not religious, but I am spiritual, honey. My day is coming!”

Q: What did you think of Bethenny Frankel’s talk show?

A: I did catch it. I thought she did a wonderful job. 

Q: What’s your TV obsession right now?

A: I am obsessed with trash TV. I watch all reality shows. I watch all the “Housewives.” I am a huge fan of “New Jersey.” I like that Teresa [Giudice] and her sister fight. I hope they continue to fight. I hope they never like each other. 

Q: “Bad Girls Club”?

A: I don’t watch them though. They do too much. They just screamin’ all the time. I need two Advils and four Tylenols. It’s too much.

Q: Are the “Teen Moms” trashy enough for you?

A: “Teen Moms”! I started watching them like the first two seasons, and I stopped. I stopped because they are too young. I feel sorry for them. And I didn’t watch that show “Hoarders.” That thing would made my skin crawl.

Q: As your acting career gains traction, do you slowly want to get away from reality?

A: At some point I do. I love the acting world. So at some point. . . I can’t continue to be a Housewife. At some point, I have to back out.

Q: How much does “The New Normal” challenge your acting range. Do you get to mostly be funny?

A: There is a lot of drama with me. Like you didn’t know that!

Q: Have there been opportunities you have missed because of your reputation from “Real Housewives”?

A: Probably. I don’t know that for sure. Just the thought of me being a “Housewife,” they would probably say “Hmmm. We may not want to use her.” Just the whole persona of being a Housewife. The cattiness and the bitchiness and the fighting. People see you as that is who you are.

Q: If they did an all-star “Housewives” edition, who would you like to see on it?

A: I would probably do me, Bethenny, I like Jill Zarin even though she’s not there. I think she is everything of New York City. Her accent and everything is just great. I would probably grab Gretchen [Rossi] from “Orange County,” Teresa from “New Jersey,” and we could work it out.

Camille Grammer Calls Ex-Husband Kelsey A Liar, Slams Sexless Marriage Claim

OTRC.com:

Kelsey Grammer recently told Conan O'Brien on his TBS talk show "Conan" that he had not had sex for a decade before he began a relationship with the woman who would become his fourth wife, Kayte.

However, his most recent ex Camille, whose divorce from the actor was finalized two weeks before the couple's wedding in February 2011, told the website RumorFix: "That's simply not true!"

She and Kelsey, who played Dr. Frasier Crane on "Frasier" and "Cheers" and currently plays the lead role in the Starz series "Boss," have been involved in a public war of words since they split in 2010 after 13 years of marriage. The actor had begun dating Kayte, a British flight attendant 25 years younger than him, while he and Camille were still married.

"We met on a flight to London, actually," Kelsey said on "Conan." "There had been a lot of postings lately about me and my past. [One comment] said something about how Kate and I met and hooked up in London and that she'd spent the night with me ... well, that's not true. We kissed that night and that was it. I said 'Goodnight' to her after two hours and we didn't do anything much more than kiss, actually, for several months. She was worth the wait."

"For a guy who hadn't had sex for a decade - it wasn't that hard," he added, laughing.

Camille added on her Twitter page that her ex-husband "lied on 'Conan.'" and "really needs to move on."
Kelsey suffered a heart attack in June 2008. RumorFix quoted a source close to Camille as saying that after he recovered: "Doctors told him he couldn't have any strenuous activity and that includes sex. So of course that would diminish their sexual activity."

Camille, a former cast member on the Bravo reality show "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," shares two children with Kelsey - Mason, 10, and Jude, 8. Kelsey's new wife gave birth to a baby girl, Faith, in June.

Last month, Kelsey had told Oprah Winfrey on her OWN cable show "Oprah's Next Chapter," that he was unhappy during his marriage to Camille for a long, long time, adding that was like a "sentence" he had imposed on himself and that "it pretty much was over as soon as it began." Kelsey said that their current relationship was "not good."

"But we have an arrangement with the children at this point, that I'm fairly happy with," he added. "I don't want to say a lot of bad things but some very bad things were said. Some threats were made and some extremely unacceptable behavior took place in front of the children, which makes it impossible for us to pretend that we can be civil. It needs to be handled by other people."

He also addressed an online rumor that may have been sparked by comments Camille made on Howard Stern's Sirius XM radio show. In an interview in January 2011, the shock jock asked her if Kelsey ever dressed up like a woman when they were married. She laughed and did not confirm or deny it, adding: "He has a little waist. I don't know what to say."

When asked about it, Kelsey told Winfrey: "Well, she said a lot of bad things about me, didn't she? And I'm a very entertaining, complex guy. No, never been a cross-dresser. But I mean, I don't live as a cross-dresser. But I have been very sexually adventurous."

Michaele Salahi's Lover Neal Schon Gets Off With Cheap Payout To Tareq Salahi After Running Off With His Wife

RadarOnline.com:

Journey's Neal Schon and Tareq Salahi have come to an agreement in the $50 million lawsuit the White House Gatecrasher filed against the rock guitarist after he ran off with his wife Michaele, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

A source close to the situation said the suit was settled in August and that Schon is essentially paying Tareq to walk away for the price of $12,000 and his mortgage payments over the next year. In his initial suit, Tareq complained that the stigma of being cheated on publicly hurt his image and cost him lucrative opportunities.

Schon and Michaele are very happy with the deal, insiders say, as the lovers believe the price was a bargain to get rid of Tareq, who's currently a Gubernatorial candidate in Virginia.

The Salahis first gained fame for crashing the 2009 White House state dinner, where they took a picture with President Barack Obama. They later parlayed the notoriety into a spot on the short-lived Real Housewives of D.C. franchise.

In a September 2011 interview with the TODAY show after Michaele left him, Tareq said the blonde beauty "wanted to go more to that 'A' [list] celebrity," adding he thought of Journey as "an 80s' band" whose days of relevance had long passed.

Vicki Gunvalson Hints She Could Be Leaving 'Real Housewives of OC'

Celebuzz.com:  

Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson, 50, is hinting that she may not be coming back for another season of the hit Bravo series. The businesswoman and grandma-to-be talked to Celebuzz exclusively and explained why she is readier than ever to hang up her housewife title for good.  Gunvalson revealed that she’s still in talks with Bravo. “I don’t know yet if I’ll be back,” she revealed. “We have to see what happens.”   Do you want to see Gunvalson back on the Real Housewives?   She added, “I’m a glutton for punishment so I might have to come back and show these girls what it’s all about.” Still, the longest-standing housewife from the OC series is hesitant about jumping into another season.  “I really like peace and happiness and they just don’t like it. They want to bring me into this world of dysfunction and I’m just like ‘why can’t we all get along?’” explains Gunvalson.  Despite being lukewarm about returning to the Bravo series, it seems as though Gunvalson isn’t prepared to depart from the silver screen just yet.  “I’d like to have my own show. I’m talking to a couple production companies right now to inspire women and teach women how to be independent.”  Gunvalson certainly knows a thing or two about being independent. Gunvalson, the self-proclaimed “top-selling agents in California,” owns her own successful insurance company.

Dina Manzo Sides With Teresa Giudice, Tells Her: 'You Didn't Do Anything To My Sister To Really Hurt Her'

RadarOnline.com:

Dina Manzo had some sage advice for Teresa Giudice on Sunday night's episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey: "Holding on to anger makes you ugly. Let it go and stay pretty." 

Dina shared her pearls of wisdom at the launch party for Teresa's new sparkling wine, after making it clear she was siding with her friend over her own sister, Caroline Manzo: "You didn't do anything to my sister to really hurt her so to me it's kind of silly," she said.

Dina's re-appearance on the show follows hot on the heels of Teresa and Caroline's cook book nuclear meltdown and resulting ever deepening feud between the two reality stars.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the women are at each other’s throats with the redhead calling her former friend a “sociopath,” and matters are sure not to be helped by Caroline's sister siding with her arch enemy.

Meanwhile, Jacqueline Laurita, who is also currently on the bad side of Teresa, questioned the timing of Dina's arrival back on the show.

“I think it’s nice that Dina went there to support her,” she said. “But it did seem odd to me when she stayed away from her family for so long – wasn’t at her nephews’ launch party, wasn’t at the holiday – but at the time when it was the most heightened drama going on between Teresa and Caroline, they have gotten closer.
“I’m like: Really. Why?”

Teresa seemed to offer viewers an explanation. In an apparent swipe at those cast members who have turned against her, she said: “My true friends always support me. They don’t get jealous at all.

“I know I can count on Dina and she will always be there for me.

As previously reported, Teresa made a more direct attack on her fellow housewives last week in a scathing blog entry. She calls Caroline and her fellow cast mates “insane.”

Brandi Glanville Flat Out Denies Cheating With Her Ex-Husband Eddie Cibrian

HuffPo.com:

Brandi Glanville is fuming over rumors that she's having an affair with her ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian, reports RadarOnline. 

The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" cast member took to Twitter to deny allegations that an affair with Cibrian led his current wife, LeAnn Rimes, to check into a rehab center. 

"I'm NOT cheating with. Y ex husband I would never do that #EWWWWWW," Glanville wrote on Twitter on Sept. 9.

Glanville married Cibrian in 2001 and had two sons together. But in 2009, after Cibrian hooked up with Rimes while filming the Lifetime movie "Northern Lights," the two engaged in a affair, cozying up at restaurants and meeting for trysts. Rimes and Cibrian tied the knot in April 2011. 

Understandably, Glanville and Rimes have a bitter relationship, but Glanville appeared to offer sincere support when Rimes entered rehab in August. 

"I totally support LeAnn's decision to enter rehab. My top priority is my children and at the end of the day we are a family. LeAnn is their stepmom, and they love her. I am wishing her all the best and I hope she will find what she is looking for while in rehab," Glanville said in a statement to Us Weekly. 

Despite her message of support, rumors that she's cheating with Cibrian to get back at Rimes still persist. Last week it was reported that part of the reason Rimes checked into rehab was Cibrian's tendency to cheat. 

"LeAnn has had major insecurity issues since she first got together with Eddie," a friend of the couple told Us Weekly. "She's been stressed about always being called a home-wrecker and also worried that Eddie is cheating on her. She's been on a downward spiral."

Lisa Hochstein Tramps In Barely There String Bikini

MailOnline:

With her orange and gold string bikini barely containing her ample curves, Lisa Hochstein had a tricky task to keep everything in place during a game of beach bat and ball.

The 29-year-old star got stuck into the game while frolicking in the warm surf in Miami, Florida yesterday, just a week before she makes her reality show début in the second season of the Real Housewives of Miami. 

Sporting thick dark eye make-up and pale lipstick, Lisa took the opportunity to show off her curves, flat stomach and toned legs.

After her game, she let her hair down and took a stroll across the sandy beach, sun-hat in hand. 

Lisa is a self-proclaimed 'professional housewife,' married to Miami plastic surgeon Dr Lenny Hochstein, aka the 'Boob God'.

And from the looks of it, the model has been the recipient of a few freebies from her husband. 

Married in 2009 at their gorgeous Sunset Island mansion, 'Lisa and Lenny have been leaving their mark on the Miami social scene ever since,' according to her Bravo cast biography. 

It adds that the blonde beauty 'made three appearances in Playboy magazine and can often be found shopping, lounging, and hanging out with her maid and best friend Daisy.'

In the new series of the Bravo show, Lisa joins returning cast members Lea Black, Adriana de Moura and Marysol Patton.

Other new members include Karent Sierra, Ana Quincoces and former Playboy model Joanna Krupa.

Real Housewives of Miami, which made its début in February 2011, is the latest hit from the Bravo reality franchise, which already has series based in Orange County, New York, New Jersey and Beverly Hills.

The second season is scheduled to première in the U.S. on September 13.

LuAnn De Lesseps Says She's Still With Her Boyfriend Jacques

HuffPo.com:

The "Real Housewives of New York City" plot line concerning whether cast member LuAnn De Lesseps cheated on her boyfriend, Jacques, will spill over on Monday’s episode of the hit reality show. And rather than wait until the show airs, LuAnn is striking out first to tell everyone that nothing happened between her and another man while vacationing with the ladies in St. Bart's.

“Jacques and I are still very much together and in love and happy," LuAnn told me. "We just returned from a glorious vacation at Lake George and will be spending the Labor Day weekend in the Hamptons, playing tennis and enjoying family and friends. We hope everyone has a great and safe holiday weekend." She also sent two photos of her and Jacques, snapped on their vacation in Lake George and Saratoga last week.

The rumors started after LuAnn found herself fibbing about bringing a group of Italian friends to the rented home she was sharing with her castmates.

“My big mistake was trying to avoid the speculation and assumptions by telling a white lie,” said LuAnn, who is hoping the truth will finally set her free.

Gretchen Rossi Already Has Names Picked for Future Baby

 The older Gretchen Rossi gets, the blonder she becomes:  

Real Housewives of Orange County star, Gretchen Rossi, 34, isn’t spilling the details on her upcoming wedding with fiance Slade Smiley, 36, just yet, but she is ready for one thing: a baby. 

“We definitely will have a wedding one day, but right now we’re focused on having a baby” Rossi exclusively revealed to Celebuzz. 

The couple is dedicating all of their time towards having their first child as soon as possible and Rossi can’t wait to be a first-time mom. The couple has even gone so far as to pick out names for their future baby. 

Rossi explained that they’ve both picked out names that they’ve liked for a boy and a girl just to be safe.  Would the girly Rossi prefer a boy or a girl?  She told Celebuzz that “it would be really fun to have a girl” as fiance Smiley already has two sons from a previous relationship. 

“But we’ll see,” she quipped.  Rossi and Smiley seemed happier than ever at the In Touch Idols & Icons MTV VMA after party on Sept. 6 in Los Angeles and Smiley watched lovingly as Rossi walked the red carpet. 

So what’s the secret to making their relationship work?

It’s funny because the impression most people get is that I wear the pants but in reality he is the man and wears the pants and he loves me being the woman and being strong and independent, but I’d say he definitely wears the pants,” Rossi explained.
