Phaedra Parks Steamed As Husband Apollo Nida Cozies Up To Kenya Moore On ‘RHOA’


RadarOnline.com:
Kenya Moore and Apollo Nida circled around each other and talked out their differences on Sunday night’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta — while his wife Phaedra Parks fumed!

And was Apollo’s wandering eye the beginning of the end of his relationship to attorney Phaedra?

RHOA fans might wonder after seeing Sunday’s episode and reading Radar’s recent report on how Phaedra and Apollo have been leading separate lives.

On the show, there has been plenty of evidence that Phaedra isn’t happy in her marriage.

And Sunday’s episode, titled “Flirting with Disaster,” showed Phaedra wasn’t able to keep her troubled husband — who is facing fraud charges –away from sexy Kenya.

While on vacation with the whole gang in Mexico, Kenya and Apollo got into a intense discussion about whether he could have slept with the single beauty if he’d wanted to.

Apollo dismissed his friends Todd Tucker and Peter Thomas so they could have a private chat. Kenya said she was a fan of Apollo’s until he tried to attack her by saying she had texted him inappropriately and propositioned him at a Los Angeles hotel.

“The stuff you were throwing out there didn’t happen,” she said. “I have been completely respectful toward you. I never offered anything to you, Apollo.”

But the RHOA husband insisted he could have slept with her if he’d wanted to.

“Any man could fall victim to it,” he mused, and then cited, “My physicality and your physicality.”

Kenya insisted, “I have never crossed the line.

“I just need you to stop lying on me.”

At the restaurant in Mexico, Phaedra suddenly appeared and growled to co-star Kandi Burruss, “What is he doing over there with her?”

Walking over to Apollo and Kenya, Phaedra demanded, “What’s going on here?”

Earlier in the episode, Kenya had ordered everyone to take their clothes off and swim in a natural spring in a underground Mexican cave.

She stripped down to a yellow bikini and Apollo undressed to his shorts while Phaedra also participated in the swim to keep an eye on her man.

But Bravo camera’s caught Apollo ogling Kenya’s bootylicious body as walked out of the cavern!

In another Sunday storyline, Kenya told her friend Miss Lawrence of Porsha Williams, who divorced football player Kordell Stewart, “She had an arranged marriage with Kordell and she was basically hired to be his beard.”

Kenya said, “It sounds like he wanted her to be quiet … he thought he was getting a trophy wife and she wasn’t much of a trophy.”

The pageant queen added, “At this point, I’m tired of people lying,” meaning Porsha and Apollo!

Heather Thomson Says She And Aviva Drescher Only Have A "Professional" Relationship


Wetpaint.com:
The name of the game in the Real Housewives franchise has always been drama, but has the Real Housewives of New York cast taken the trash-talking to unmanageable new heights?

Heather Thomson claims that RHONY castmate Aviva Drescher has gone above and beyond the call of duty stirring up trouble for her fellow housewives, turning mean girl behavior into a fine art. 

Heather tells RadarOnline.com that Aviva’s bad behavior has turned their formerly close bond into little more than a professional relationship.

“When Aviva got so heavy handed at the end of last season, with name calling and she kind of really lost control, what you didn’t see behind the film is that when she called the girls ‘white trash’ and she said all those terrible things about Sonja [Morgan] being an alcoholic and these awful things that I feel are below the belt, she promised me that she had apologized on the show for it,” says the Yummie Tummie founder. 

Despite Aviva’s claims that she had made things right after her outburst, Heather says, “She really never apologized, so I felt a little bit jaded.”

While Aviva’s posturing for cameras may have sent Heather packing, Heather says that the show has given her an even better friend in Carole Radziwill.

“Carole Radziwill and I are like sisters,” says Heather. “I can say she is one of the best things that came out of the show for me. I have Bravo to thank for the wonderful person that Carole is in my life. And I love her so, so much.”

Kim Zolciak Still Not Speaking To Her Parents After Bitter Feud


RadarOnline.com:
Former The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak revealed to host Andy Cohen on Sunday night’s Watch What Happens Live that she still doesn’t speak to her parents!

The Bravo blonde got into a bitter feud with her mom Karen and dad Joe Zolciak after Karen petitioned the court for grandparents’ visitation rights in 2012, alleging Kim wasn’t allowing them to see her kids.

As Radar has reported, Joe then blasted her to the media, calling her “a pathological liar” and unkindly pointing out she’d had four kids by multiple fathers!

Since then, Kim has had two more children–twins by husband Kroy Biermann last November for a total of six.

Still, she hasn’t buried the hatchet with her folks.

On Sunday night, a fan calling in to Watch What Happens Live asked for an update on how things were going with her mom.

“Have you guys talked yet?” the viewer asked.

“No,” Kim said, grimacing.

“Wow!” Cohen marveled, then followed up by asking Kim himself, “How about with your dad?”

“No,” Kim said, without elaborating.

“Wow! I see,” Andy said, then dropped the touchy subject!

The exchange took place as Kim, who appeared on RHOA from seasons 1-5 before doing her own Don’t Be Tardy spinoff, reunited with her former co-star, the stunning Sheree Whitfield, who left the Atlanta housewives after season four.

The ladies gave Cohen their opinions on the current cast.

Kim said of Kenya Moore and Apollo Nida, texting and talking on the show despite his marriage to Phaedra Parks, “They should not be talking: NO!”

But Sheree said, in general, “I don’t think Kenya’s too bad.”

Mama Joyce Admits She's Still 'Not Excited' About Kandi Burruss' Upcoming Wedding To Todd Tucker


MailOnline:
Real Housewives Of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss has found the man of her dreams.

But her mother, Mama Joyce, is 'not excited' about her daughter's April 4 nuptials.

But on Saturday the matriarch told RadarOnline she would deal with it. 'It’s not my wedding. If she is happy then I am happy for her. If that’s who she wants to marry then I’m happy. As long as she is happy I am happy,' Joyce said.

Mama Joyce and Tucker have experienced a strained relationship for some time, with Joyce making repeated objections to the romantic relationship between Tucker and her daughter.

Joyce believes Tucker has been cheating on Burruss with her friend Carmon, and was even critical of her daughter's first fiance, Ashley 'A.J.' Jewell, who was killed in a bar fight in 2009.

Mama Joyce once attempted to physically confront Carmon in an infamous Real Housewives Of Atlanta episode.

Burruss is expected to wed Tucker in a televised event for Bravo this spring.
'I’m not going to stand up when they ask if anyone has any objections,' said the mother. 'I don’t have anything to say. Everyone knows how I feel.'

The tension was so severe that at one point Tucker suggested walking away from the relationship because of his awful relationship with Burruss' mother.

'I hope that I can say "I’m glad Kandi didn’t listen to me and this is the man she has been waiting for all her life."' Mama Joyce shared with the site.

BOOT Brandi Glanville!!! RHOBH Fans Start Petition To Have Creature Kicked Off Show


YES!!! And even though I've been kicking around this idea in my head for quite some time, I swear it wasn't me who started this petition (but I'll damn sure be signing it asap). It just touches my heart that there are so many other fans of RH out there who share with me the same sentiment of what a vile, racist, wench, hypocrite and creature Brandi Glanville is. Unless you're a colorblind stan of Brandi's, when you get a chance, please take a minute to sign the petition, get yourself heard and hopefully get Brandi kicked off RH for good:
Brandi Glanville’s haters are so serious about getting her kicked off of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that they’ve started a petition on Change.org and RadarOnline.com has all the details about the movement to boot Brandi.

The outspoken reality show star has angered fans of the show this season with her racist remarks about Joyce Giraud, fights with Lisa Vanderpump and her off-color joke about child molestation on her podcast, so they’ve taken the drastic step and filed a petition to get her thrown off the show, writing that she is now “offensive and repulsive beyond the point of entertainment or ‘good TV.’”

Created by a woman named Lori Chase in New York, the Change.org petition to Bravo is titled ‘Remove Brandi Glanville from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”’ and reads:
“Brandi Glanville has made repetitive comments in the open media, social media, the actual television show and interviews which are distasteful and offensive to many groups of people.  She jokes about racial stereotypes and child molestation among other very serious issues.  Her behavior and words are hurtful, offensive and repulsive beyond the point of entertainment.”
The suggested email for people wanting to jump on the Brandi bandwagon is just as strongly worded, declaring her “behavior and words are hurtful.”
To:
Bravo TV, Casting Office
Please remove Brandi Glanville from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” immediately.
Brandi Glanville has made repetitive comments in the open media, social media, the actual television show and interviews which are distasteful and offensive to many groups of people. She jokes about racial stereotypes and child molestation among other very serious issues. Her behavior and words are hurtful, offensive and repulsive beyond the point of entertainment or “good TV.”
So far almost 1,000 people have signed the petition, from all over the world – Jacksonville, Florida, to Georgetown, Australia.

One signer wrote to explain why she wanted the RHOBH star kicked off the show.
I’m totally disgusted with her behavior. It was OK at first with the “F” word , and then the drinking was eeeehh I could over look to a point, and the openly sexual comments talking about wishing she was molested as a child??? This is too much! I just can’t stomach this, it just made me cringe. If Bravo decides to keep her, I will boycott all Bravo shows.

Melissa & Joe Gorga Rent a Downsized $4,500/Month New Jersey Palace While Dream House Is Being Built


Celebuzz.com:
While Teresa Giudice is hoping to dodge jail time under her own swanky roof in New Jersey, her sister-in-law moved into new digs. 

And it’s not quite what you’d expect from the high-rolling reality star who just sold her colossal crib for $3.8 million. Let CB! take you inside for the first time. 

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga and house hubby Joe Gorga are calling this $4,500 a month Franklin Lakes pad their temporary home away from home while their dream house is being built. 

Coming in at 3,700 square feet, it’s a far cry from the 13,500 square foot Montville Township McMansion made famous on the hit Bravo show. 

We're sure Melissa will try to fancy up the place with her over-the-top taste in decor, but the brick Colonial already has a few built-in charming details from hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings to a pretty parklike backyard for their three kiddos. 

Though it’s missing all the bells and whistles of Chateau Gorga -- 6 bedrooms, 6.5 baths, Italian marble, sweeping double staircases, decorative moldings, 4 fireplaces, enormous kitchen, billiards room, screening room, and library, to boot. 

Melissa's just going to have to settle with 4 bedrooms and (gasp) 2 baths for now. We can’t wait to see how she handles this next season. 

The upside -- they're saving a ton on housekeeping.

LuAnn de Lesseps Buys New $3.1M Home


Newsday.com:
LuAnn de Lesseps, one of the stars of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New York City," recently bought a waterfront home in Sag Harbor, according to real estate records. 

De Lesseps, whose reality TV show premiered its sixth season this week, paid $3.1 million for the 1835 waterfront home, reports Long Island Profiles, a Brightwaters-based real estate data gatherer. It had been listed for $2.65 million, according to the real estate records.

De Lesseps says she fell in love with the house when she saw it, describing it as "warm and cozy."

"Now that my kids are grown, I decided that my next chapter would be living in a smaller house by the water," she says.

The three-bedroom, three-bath Greek Revival home comes with a dock on Upper Sag Harbor Cove as well as wide-plan flooring and three fireplaces. The 2,500-square-foot home is on a .31-acre lot with a heated artist's studio with its own waterside deck.

This week, de Lesseps, also known as The Countess, lowered the asking price of her Bridgehampton home to $8.995 million. It came on the market in late 2013 for $9.45 million, says listing agent Christopher Burnside of Brown Harris Stevens. There was one previous price reduction, to $9.2 million.

"There are a lot of great memories in my old house, but I'm looking forward to the new memories to be made in Sag Harbor," says de Lesseps.

She says that her son, Noel, will be able to have a boat and go fishing and that she will enjoy walking into town to go shopping and to dine at the American Hotel.

Porsha Williams' Alleged New Boyfriend's Dad Is a Dictator


EOnline.com:
Porsha Williams may be moving on from former husband Kordell Stewart after the pair finalized their divorce in December, but that doesn't mean the Real Housewives of Atlanta star has a new man in her life. 

While a TMZ report claims the Bravo beauty has been seeing 42-year-old Teodoro Ngeuma Obiang Mangue, who is the son of Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, the President of Equatorial Guinea and an abuser of human rights, according to Amnesty International, Williams herself exclusively tells E! News she has never even met the man who she has been accused of dating. 

"The TMZ report is completely false! I do not know Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, nor have I ever dated him," the reality star tells E! News in an exclusive statement. "When there is someone special in my life whom I wish to share I will let you all know. It has been rumored that I am dating many people." 

Williams added: "I am not focused on dating at the moment but rather the debut of my new single, "Flatline" available on Itunes on March 17th."

The celeb shared her feelings over her newly single status in an Instagram post on Dec. 5, writing "Today is the 1st Day of the rest of my LIFE" #blessed #lovinglife #favored #free," along with a graphic that read, "The future is exciting."

But her outlook wasn't always so optimistic, as Porsha admitted to being both heartbroken and blindsided by her split, although she remained strong in the wake of her struggle. 

"Divorces feel like a death in the family," Williams told costar Kandi Burruss during an emotional episode of the hit show which aired back in November. "It's the ending of something that I wanted for the rest of my life."

Brandi Glanville and Joyce Giraud Battle Over ‘Ugly Men’ During ‘RHOBH’ Reunion


RadarOnline.com:
Old feuds never die in the 90210, and Andy Cohen makes sure of that!

The battle between Joyce Giraud and Brandi Glanville reignites during the upcoming Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion and RadarOnline.com has a sneak peek of the upcoming blow out.

Cohen starts the fight as he reads part of a controversial blog post Glanville had written about Giraud and her husband, Michael Ohoven.

“Brandi you said,‘The difference between myself and Joyce is that I won’t settle. I have to be physically attracted to the men I date. If I just wanted to marry some short, rich guy that promised to make me famous I could have done that long ago,’” Cohen said, reciting the post.

Cohen asked Giraud to respond.

“First of all, Michael isn’t short. He’s absolutely gorgeous,” she said. “I’ve seen [Brandi] date short, ugly, old men.”

“Have you?” Glanville charged. “No, you have not!”

Giraud responded: “I’ve seen you kissing a guy when your tampon is hanging out of your private parts.”
Glanville laughed about her tipsy night out, stating the man was actually her agent.

“He’s a gay man! And don’t call him ugly,” she said, adding, “I’ve never dated an ugly man. Sorry!”

Speaking to Cohen, Giraud continued: “First of all, she barely knows my husband, so for her to say that, she should do a little more research. I do make my own money. I probably make money than her before she married her husband, so if you’re saying ‘settle,’ do your research. I’m a working actress.”

“You’re acting now,” Glanville quipped.

“You’re trying to act like a lady, but it’s just coming out of your pores,” the former Miss Puerto Rico said.

Camille Grammer Slams ‘Hurtful’ New Tell-All Revealing Dirty Details Of Kelsey Grammer’s Affair


RadarOnline.com:
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer‘s world came crashing down two years ago, when she discovered her husband, Kelsey Grammer, had been cheating on her with stewardess Kayte Walsh.

Now, just weeks after finishing a grueling chemo treatment for endometrial cancer, she’s being hit with heartache all over again thanks to new revelations about the sordid ordeal in a steamy tell-all, House of Outrageous Fortune, about the apartment building where she and Kelsey lived. Only RadarOnline.comhas all the details about the book’s allegations, and Camille’s hurt response.

“It’s disgusting someone from the building would do that and make profits off of it,” she tells Radar exclusively. “It’s not only hurtful for my family, but for the other residents, including Alex Rodriguez and Sting who appear in the book as well].”

According to the author, Michael Gross, Camille found out about Kelsey’s affair when she “called from California before she knew about his girlfriend,” a renter at the tony Fifteen Central Park West high rise reveals. “They told her his wife was already in the building. She genuinely didn’t know. Incidents followed.”

The notorious apartment even played a small role on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, when Camille was shown touring the 3,500 sq. ft. apartment.

“For us, it’s small,” she said at the time. “That seems pretty obnoxious, [but] I’m used to living in a substantial-sized house.”

“Between the taping of that show and the time it aired, Camille Grammer filed for divorce …” the book notes. “Her husband immediately married a former flight attendant, Kayte Walsh, twenty-seven years his junior.”
