Bethenny Frankel 'My Biggest Mistake Is Not Going with My Gut'

People.com:

Bethenny Frankel's new book I Suck at Relationships So You Don't Have To sounded like a fun idea, but it turns out nothing was more serious for the reality star.

"I learn more from my mistakes than my successes," Frankel, 44, tells PEOPLE in this week's issue. Her biggest mistake? "Not going with my gut."

"Everyone always talks about going with your head or your heart, but I think you should go with your gut," says Frankel, who's still battling in court with her second husband, Jason Hoppy, more than two years after their split. "Your heart might be telling you, 'I love this person. I love sex with this person,' but you might not be compatible. And your head can say this person is great on paper, but your gut can tell you when something is off."

"Fear is the biggest issue for me in relationships," says Frankel, an expert at revealing her flaws and then turning them into business ventures. "If I allow myself to really love, which has only happened twice in my life, the notion of being this age and only loved twice in your life – the math is scary. When you actually feel that, it's terrifying because you don't want to lose it."

"I'm not Freud," she says. "I don't want to go back to the womb, but I think it does have to do with my past. My fear of being left and abandoned. It's scary to open up and connect because the idea of not ever speaking to someone again that you care for is very scary to me."

Lisa Vanderpump Discusses ‘Real Housewives’ Season 5 Reunion, Kim Richards’ Sobriety & Brandi’s Meddling

Inquisitr.com:

Beverly Hills housewife Lisa Vanderpump weighed in on the events of the Real Housewives Season 5 reunion in her last blog. Speaking to fans, the Beverly Hills restaurant owner called out Kim Richards for her sobriety issues and insinuations regarding Lisa Rinna’s husband and Brandi Glanville for her bad behavior.
On April 8, Beverly Hills‘ Vanderpump wrote the following in her Bravo blog.

“If you appear, and your demeanor and your actions are questionable, be prepared to answer those questions… Kyle has covered many a track for years, but in this forum, it is highly impossible to keep anything hidden. Taking responsibility is the one thing that evades both Kim and [Brandi].”

According to Vanderpump, her Beverly Hills co-stars, Richards and Glanville believe that simply saying they are sorry means their bad deed has been erased. One of the issues, which got under Vanderpump’s skin the most, was Richards’ baseless claim regarding Lisa Rinna’s husband, Harry Hamlin. Luckily, when confronted about the issue by Rinna at the Beverly Hills reunion, Richards seemingly proved she had nothing on Hamlin. Although she claimed Rinna had a “situation at home” with Hamlin, she was unable to reveal the alleged information when her Beverly Hills co-stars invited her to do so.

“Lisa was vindicated by the segment that was shown.”
“The whole ridiculous intimation by Kim that Harry was guilty of something insidious was infuriating to me. That is why I urged Lisa to challenge her. I knew the intimation was unfounded and baseless, and if she didn’t confront it, it would linger like a bad odor, so when push came to shove, there was nothing.”

Last week, as the Inquisitr previously reported, Vandeprump slammed Glanville for getting in between the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills sisters’ relationship.

Brandi Glanville “doesn’t comprehend the issue I have with the fact that as she cosies up to Kim, she has this urge to demean Kyle in the process,” Vanderpump said, according to Reality Tea.

During filming, the Beverly Hills sisters became estranged after Glanville suggested Kim distance herself from Kyle to make her respect her more. Glanville also alleged Kyle had been manipulating Kim for years because Kim allowed her to do so. And even after Glanville’s shocking comments were revealed, Kim stood by her as a friend, and ceased communications with Kyle.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion Part 2: Kyle Richards Has Major Breakdown After Confrontation with Sister Kim

TVGuide.com:

The second part of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion aired Tuesday night and - shocker! - it got messy.

Kim and Kyle Richards, who haven't spoken in three months, had their biggest blowout since the sisters' limo fight, which helped spur Kim's 2011 rehab stint.

"I feel like you have been very mean to me," Kyle told Kim. "I feel like I've been very mistreated by you and I'm just really not in that place right now."

"I actually feel the same way. There's just a lot of things coming up that I wanted to figure out before these things come up," Kim said.

"So you can disinvite me to your daughter's wedding? That's fine. I don't need to be there," Kyle said, before letting it all out.

"The only reason I've ever tried to fix things with you when you've been so mean to me is because I love your children like I love my own and I want to be able to have them in my life," she continued, getting more upset by the second. "I'm happy to support [your daughter] and all of your children and always be there for them. So if you want to take them from me too, do that. You're so f---ing mean! Just leave me alone!"

The reunion also attempted to solve the biggest mystery of the season: What did Harry do?

Lisa Rinna finally took the opportunity to confront Kim over the insinuations she had made about her husband Harry Hamlin in Amsterdam. 

At first, Kim refused to explain what she meant by the comments."I wouldn't do that to you or your children," Kim said, delusionally thinking she was taking the high road.

"Has he f---ed the dog? What has he done? He f---ed the dog, didn't he? I knew it! He f---ed the dog!" Rinna exclaimed.

Eventually, Kim relented and admitted she had no concrete evidence of anything and was just alluding to a rumor she had heard. However, Kim pointed to the fact that the remarks clearly hit a nerve in Lisa as proof that the rumor was true.

Claudia Jordan Calls Out Lewd Comments: ‘New Laws Need To Be Passed’

Inquisitr.com:

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Claudia Jordan may still be the new housewife to the show as she is wrapping up her first season, but she is learning that the wives on the show isn’t the only thing she has to deal with. Jordan is a very active person on social media, and she responds to comments and messages from fans. But because Claudia is so active on social media, many people will write harsh and mean things to her. Sadly, that is part of the package when you share your personal life on television.

But it sounds like Claudia Jordan has had enough of the drama. It isn’t the first time that Claudia has called out people for being mean to her on Twitter, but this morning, Jordan revealed that she had seen enough. Claudia is now calling for a change in laws to deal with people who simply just cross the line with their comments.

According to a new set of tweets, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Claudia Jordan is now revealing that she would like to see the laws change in regards to online bullying, as she has seen some foul comments on the internet lately. As Claudia herself reveals, none of the comments are necessarily directed at her.

“Wow…. some grimy a** people out here in these internet streets. #NoBoundaries #NoChill #NoClass,”

 Claudia Jordan tweeted this morning.

“It’s just amazing how folks try to hurt each other outta spite using the net. Some new laws need to be passed cause folks doing the most! And NO nothing happened TO me today. But I’m seeing some foul things being done to others and it’s so not cool! People gotta move on in life. Be kind, be cool, do what you think’s the right thing, don’t be spiteful and keep your Karma good. I swear I try this and I’m being rewarded.”

Even though Claudia claims that the comments she was referring to had nothing to do with her, she was the subject of several opinions just last week. On The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Claudia Jordan decided to sit down and talk to Phaedra Parks about her marital issues. During this talk, Jordan revealed that she herself had gone through a divorce. Porsha Williams has later revealed that she didn’t think it was Jordan’s place to get so personal with Parks.

And according to the Inquisitr, fans were not pleased with Jordan either. Maybe there is a sense of loyalty to Phaedra because she has been on the show for much longer than Claudia. Fans were not pleased with her actions, and expressed their opinions on Twitter.

Carole Radziwill Says Real Housewives of New York City Season 7 Is Crazy Emotional: "Even I Cried!"

EOnline.com:

Carole Radziwill is back for another go on The Real Housewives of New York City, but things are a little different this year.

"Last year was toxic for a lot of us. It was just more obvious with me, but it wasn't a great environment. It got very nasty and dark. Clearly the audience was not into that," Carole tells E! News. "This year it's more Shakespearean. It's highs and lows with a thread of comedy going through the whole thing. There are a lot of women, first of all, and there's a lot of emotion. A lot of crying—even I cried! [Laughs.]…Emotions ran really deep and it was real. But then there were really fun times, too."

Some of the toxic elements include Bookgate, a fight Carole had with Aviva Drescher that ran throughout the season. Now that that's in the rearview mirror, Aviva has left the show. "I think the audience is relieved," Carole told us. "I think it's probably best for her not to be on television. She doesn't do herself any favors. I'm sure in her real life, off camera, she's doing well."

This year, Bethenny Frankel returns to the fold with newcomer Dorinda Medley, putting the cast of Real Housewives of New York City at eight women with Sonja Morgan, Heather Thomson, Kristen Taekman, LuAnn de Lesseps and Ramona Singer all returning alongside Carole.

Expect this year to be more "real" and "authentic," Carole said. But after such a toxic season, she did have second thoughts about coming back for a third year.

"Well, I was aware when I signed on again that certain people would not be part of the cast, so that was something. I felt like last year, last season was really unpleasant and honestly, I thought about it. Like, ‘I can't do this again. These women are just not like me and we don't have anything in common. I can't go through this again.' I went through all of that in my head, but I didn't want that feeling to be the final feeling, you know what I mean? …I didn't want to end on this very dark note, so that was one piece of it," she explained.

Another piece? Carole has made close friends on the show, citing Heather, Kristen and LuAnn and Bethenny has history with Ramona, Sonja and LuAnn and newcomer Dorinda was friends with many of the women before joining the show. "It felt natural that we'd all be friends. I just thought I'm going to do it again and see what happens," Carole said. "I'm glad I did, I had a really good time this season. It was fun, even though there was drama and silliness and tears."

Those tears Carole keeps referring to came unexpectedly for the The New York Times best-selling author of What Remains and The Widow's Guide to Sex and Dating. In the trailer for season seven, viewers see a weepy Carole in London dealing with a matter in relation to her late husband Anthony Radizwill. "I can picture my late husband like it was yesterday. He was a really decent man," she says in the trailer. Cameras were there to capture it all.

"I wouldn't say the cameras were cathartic, but I'm on the show. I made a deal with myself, if I'm on the show I'm going to show what's going on in my life. I do that pretty honestly," Carole told us. Dorinda came along for the trip to London and Carole said it actually turned out to be a "nice trip" and a bonding experience for the two women.

"There's a moment at the end that was a little overwhelming and it did get more emotional than I did anticipate, but I'm OK with that. I think it was true and authentic and I think producers are respectful…and I appreciated that. I think it's an interesting story to tell, certainly came out of the blue for me and was a little unusual, but I thought, ‘OK, if I'm going to do this, I'm going to do it.'"

In the end, Carole said she thinks season seven is a "really good season."

"I laughed, I cried, I met a handsome man, So, it couldn't be better than that," she said with a laugh.

Joyce Giraud and Joanna Krupa Working Together on a Scripted Series

Wetpaint.com:

Could we be seeing Joanna Krupa in a new scripted series soon? If her latest Instagram post is any indication, that answer is "yes!"

The Real Housewives star recently shared a post with her fans that revealed her latest project: a part in a new scripted series. Also pictured in the photo was Joyce Giraud — who we all remember was fired from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills last year.

"Super fun and creative lunch! by @db_creative," Joanna wrote on the reshared post on Instagram. "'Just finished a #creative business lunch with two of the #stars of my scripted series. Thank you @joannakrupa and @joyce_giraud, I can't wait to tell the #world what we are working on.'"

"#Dream big because anything is possible, and as long as you are a good person, good things will happen to you. #Dreams really do come #true," the post continued.

Kenya Moore Calls Out Resident Ratchet Queen Brandi Glanville For ‘RHOBH’ Reunion Antics

Inquisitr.com:

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore may be dealing with her own drama in Atlanta, but she does take the time to catch up on what is going on with the other housewives in other cities. This week, Moore decided to watch the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion. Kenya wasn’t too happy with what she saw.

Of course, it is no secret that Kenya Moore is not the biggest fan of Brandi Glanville. The two competed together on Celebrity Apprentice, and they were both strong personalities. Clearly, Kenya was upset with Brandi prior to going on the show because of things that were said in the press. Now, Moore is letting her feelings be known.

According to a new Bravo report, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore was not pleased with Brandi after watching the reunion show. Moore felt that Brandi was calling Yolanda Foster’s daughter an alcoholic, as that accusation had not been in the press. Moore clearly felt that Glanville was trying to cause trouble without any strong foundation.

KENYA MOORE        ✔ @KenyaMoore Follow

This woman is the scum of the earth... @LisaVanderpump is reading her. #RHOBH

Clearly, Kenya has a thought or two about Glanville. And she is siding with Lisa Vanderpump and Yolanda Foster in whatever argument Brandi is involved with.

Of course, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore has her own drama going on with the Atlanta ladies. Clearly, Moore doesn’t like Brandi, but she is also holding a grudge towards other women. Earlier this season, Apollo Nida revealed that he had lied completely about Kenya Moore trying to hook up with him on a business trip to Los Angeles.

During a recent trip to the Philippines, Kenya decided to talk things over with Phaedra Parks, and it appears that the feud is over. The difference between Moore’s drama with Phaedra and Brandi’s drama with the Beverly Hills ladies is that Kenya actually wants to settle the drama with her co-stars. Glanville simply wants to continue bickering, almost as a form of deflection.

Son of Lydia Schiavello Charged with Stalking Ex-Girlfriend

HeraldSun.com:

THE party-loving son of a Melbourne TV star has been charged with stalking and distributing intimate photos. 
 
Lorenzo “Lozzy” Schiavello, 20, is the son of Real Housewives of Melbourne star and Melbourne ambassador to the Shane Warne Foundation, Lydia Schiavello.

The charges relate to incidents last year after the alleged victim made two separate complaints to Prahran police against the man who his mum calls “gentle giant”.

Schiavello’s Instagram account portrays a young man in love with life in the fast lane, with photos of luxury performance and street cars, “mad night drives”, girls, parties, nightclubs, expensive cocktails and fashion.

In one photo post Schiavello proclaims: “Relaxation is the key, so live the now as your past does not matter, you are in control.”

In another he is pictured at a photo shoot with his mother, and fellow Real Housewives star Gina Liano, wearing a T-shirt featuring a G-string clad woman’s buttocks being groped by Sesame Street’s cookie monster.

His mother tweeted the photo with the comment: “thankyou for wearing an appropriate tshirt son!”

On his 19th birthday Mrs Schiavello tweeted another photo of herself and her son with the caption: “Happy 19th son. Your (sic) my baby & the gentle giant. Xxxx”

The incidents occurred not long after Schiavello split with his girlfriend and began a relationship with a second woman.

The alleged victim first went to police when Schiavello posted intimate images of her on social media and again when he allegedly posted further non-intimate images of her in breach of an agreement not to do so.

Schiavello, who has been caught driving while suspended but has no prior convictions, is listed to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday (April 10) after being charged with stalking and distribution of an intimate image.

The separate charges were laid by a member of the Embona taskforce, which normally investigates armed robberies, and by a Prahran detective.

LuAnn de Lesseps 'Enjoying' Being Back On "Real Housewives of New York" Fulltime

EOnline.com:

LuAnn de Lesseps is having a Real Housewives renaissance. The countess was just a "friend" on The Real Housewives of New York City last season and had one of her best years ever. This year she's back fulltime and having just the best time.

"I really feel like I'm in the driver's seat," she told us at The Royals premiere. "I'm enjoying myself. I must say, I've had the most fun this season that I've ever had. It's nice to have Bethenny back; we reminisced a lot about the past…I feel like it's like the good old days of the Housewives."

With Bethenny Frankel returning to the fold, LuAnn said there's drama, but maybe not old drama. "I can't give away those secrets, but it's a great season."

Viewers got a glimpse of what's to come in the trailer that had everybody talking, especially LuAnn's interaction with Heather Thomson while on vacation in Turks and Caicos. In the footage released, LuAnn seems to be having a little hangover struggle and tells Heather, "Be cool. Don't be all, like, uncool." She's already planning to capitalize on that moment.

"Andy [Cohen] wrote me the next day and said, ‘You've got to make a new dance song!'" she spilled with a laugh. To that we say, "Yas queen, yas."

"I already put the call in to the music producers," she said. "It'd be fun, right?" But the drama levels on that trip were "just beyond," she teased. Reacquaint yourself with Countess LuAnn's first hit "Money Can't Buy You Class" now.
