Cynthia Bailey: My Daughter’s Super Sweet 16 ... Is A Teenage Dream


TMZ.com:
Cynthia Bailey of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" is pulling out all the stops to spoil her daughter Noelle with the ultimate sweet 16 ... and of course, the entire thing is going to be televised.

TMZ has learned that Cynthia is throwing a bomb-ass birthday party for her daughter and she's getting help from celebrity event planner David Tutera. We’re told Cynthia is getting the extra help because the party will be featured on an episode of Tutera’s “CELEBrations” on WeTV.

Cynthia's inviting a couple hundred guests -- and Rev. Run's son Diggy Simmons is going to perform, along with Disney star Trevor Jackson.

The party's going down Thursday night. Check out a clip of Noelle's invitation video, which looks more like behind the scenes of a high fashion photo shoot than an invitation -- but we're pretty sure that's the point.

It’s Official! Bravo Delays ‘RHONJ’ Filming To The Fall, Will Get Teresa Giudice’s Prison Release On Tape


RadarOnline.com:
She’ll be back! Teresa Giudice’s future with The Real Housewives of New Jersey has been up in the air since she entered prison earlier this year. But RadarOnline.com has learned that Bravo has finally decided they need her on board. According to insiders, the reality network will delay filming for The Real Housewives of New Jersey until this Fall because the convicted felon is in final talks to begin filming the hit Bravo reality show after her release!

According to a source familiar with the situation, “None of the cast members of RHONJ have signed contracts for next season. But there isn’t anything to be concerned about because filming has been pushed from the summer and won’t be beginning until late September, early October.”

Giudice is expected to be released in December, and would be included in the second half of the season.

“Without Teresa there just isn’t a lot going on with the women,” the source admitted. “With her on board, cameras would film Joe’s final days with the family as he prepares to begin his 41 month prison sentence.”

“Teresa hasn’t signed a formal contract yet, but it’s only a matter of time,” the source said. One thing’s for sure: She needs the cash.

Kim Richards Charged with Battery on a Peace Officer


CNN.com:
"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kim Richards has been charged with three misdemeanor counts after she was accused of kicking a police officer during an arrest in April.

Richards faces charges of public intoxication, resisting arrest and battery on a peace officer, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office announced Wednesday.

She was taken into custody on April 16 by police at the Beverly Hills Hotel's Polo Lounge after security personnel complained that she was bothering hotel guests.
'
A police representative said Richards was asked to leave the hotel but refused, then entered a restroom and wouldn't come out. 

Hotel security made a "private persons arrest," then police entered the restroom and took Richards into custody.

"Ms. Richards was displaying symptoms of alcohol intoxication including slurred speech and belligerent insolent behavior, cursing at the officers and passively resisted arrest," police said in a statement in April. "After being transported to the station for booking, Richards kicked one of the officers in the leg; however the officer was not injured."

Arraignment is scheduled for Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Richards faces a possible maximum sentence of two years and six months if convicted as charged, according to a statement from the district attorney's office. 

The case is still under investigation by the Beverly Hills Police Department. 

Richards' representatives have not responded to a request for comment.

Richards reportedly entered rehab in 2011 for "serious issues" after what some called erratic behavior on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," which also features her sister Kyle Richards. The Richardses are the aunts of former TV star Paris Hilton.

USNews.com:
Imprisoned "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice will give the federal government a 2005 Maserati and 25 percent of any money she gets from the Bravo network to help satisfy a court judgment against her and her husband.

The government also will get half the rent from a home in Lincoln Park and the furnishings of the couple's home in Montville, according to consent orders filed Friday by the U.S. Attorney's Office.

The money and property will go toward a $415,589 judgment imposed after the couple pleaded guilty last year to federal fraud charges for concealing income and lying during bankruptcy proceedings.

Giudice is serving a 15-month prison sentence at a prison camp facility in Danbury, Connecticut. Once she's released, her husband will start serving his 41-month sentence.

Meghan King Edmonds Rips Into Vicki Gunvalson — ‘I Call Out Her Faults’


RadarOnline.com:
Meghan King Edmonds may be the newest cast member of Real Housewives of Orange County, but she’s already proving she can catfight with the best of her Bravo co-stars — especially resident queen bee, Vicki Gunvalson!

“I think that Vicki goes around in circles when she talks and she likes to place blame and ask me about who I am and what my family’s about and then change the subject and talk about something personal,” King Edmonds told OK! in a revealing new interview.

“I called her out on what she was doing. And I don’t think she liked it, so she came more and more after me…I call out her faults.”

King Edmonds goes on to dish about all the women on the show, who she knew nothing about before other than what she “saw on TV.”

Tamra Barney “is really different than what I expected,” explains King Edmonds. “I was expecting her to not be nice to me and just be snarky and it was total opposite, we hit it off right away.”

Conversely, continues Kind Edmonds, “I thought Vicki and I would hit it off right away and be friends but that didn’t go as planned.”

She also expected Shannon Beador to not like her “and that pretty much went as planned,” jokes the reality star.

As for Lizzie Rovsek? “I was expecting to like because [her] we’re around the same age and that worked out.”

Andy Cohen: Bethenny Frankel Has 'No Say' in Editing RHONY


People.com:
Bethenny Frankel may have returned to spice up The Real Housewives of New York City this season, but that doesn't mean she gets a say in how she's portrayed.

Although some of Frankel's cast mates have stated that she gets editorial approval over her scenes before episodes air, Andy Cohen said Sunday that she has "no warning" over the content, even when she acts "like a beast."

"She gets the episode when everyone else does," Cohen told Page Six. "We send the Housewives the episodes the week before. She has absolutely no say."

Continued Cohen, who said the show plays no favorites: "I've said to [Bethenny] this season, 'Oh, you're not going to like X, Y or Z. You look like a beast!' But she has nothing to do with editing, she has no knowledge of what's going to be in the episodes, she has no warning." 


It has been an emotional and dramatic season thus far for Frankel, 44, who has lamented being homeless, had a dramatic reunion with her stepfather, cracked discussing her abusive childhood and battled with cast mates.

"Trust me, there are times, not from [Bethenny] but from certain Housewives saying, 'Please can you change this?' " stated Cohen, 47. "And they know we never change the episodes. They are as they are."

Kyle Richards Begging For ‘RHOBH’ Gig After Alleged Firing?


Inquisitr.com:
Beverly Hills reality star Kyle Richards has denied on Twitter that she was fired from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but she may not have been completely honest with her fans. Although Bravo has yet to confirm news of anyone’s firing, including Richards, a new report claims she’s panicked over the report.
According to a Radar Online report on June 6, Richards is desperate to get her job back on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and is doing whatever she can to stay on the hit series.
“Kyle is desperate to save her job. Kyle has talked to Andy Cohen and is reaching out to other network executives to lobby them to keep her on the show. Kyle is in a panic about her life. She is doing everything she can NOT to get fired.”
Richards has starred on the Beverly Hills-based series since the show began in 2010 and has held a full-time role throughout the series’ run. Richards’ older sister, Kim, has also held a full-time role, which she recently was said to have lost.
As the Inquisitr previously reported, Kim has reportedly been axed from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills following her drunken arrest at the Beverly Hills Hotel two months ago. According to an E! News report earlier this week, Richards was booted from the show after becoming a liability for the network.
“It’s possible Kim may return for a cameo, or a few appearances, but not as a full-time series regular. The fates of the rest of the housewives have not yet been decided, however we are told that most of the women are expected to return.”
Following Kim’s reported exit from the show, Richards is said to be feeling bitter towards her, reportedly believing if it wasn’t for her sobriety issues, neither of them would have allegedly lost their jobs.
“She is furious that Kim’s addictions and problems have been negatively affecting her. She doesn’t feel like it is fair to punish her for her sister’s outrageous behavior. Even if she is an addict who needs help. Kyle is a fighter and she’s no dummy. She believes she’ll be able to make things turn out the way she wants.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 6 has yet to be officially confirmed by Bravo. However, the series typically begins filming each summer, so fans may be getting more information on Season 6 soon.

Gina Liano Confirms She Will Return for Third Season of 'Real Housewives of Melbourne'


HeraldSun.com.au:
GINA Liano has confirmed she will be part of the next season of The Real Housewives Of Melbourne, but there is expected to be cast changes. 


Liano, who was a judge in the Miss Universe competition, said she hopes for one or two new ladies.

Confidential is hearing that possibly two of the current cast — Pettifleur Berenger, Gamble Breaux, Lydia Schiavello, Chyka Keebaugh and Janet Roach — won’t be back in a full time role.

“I would very much like to see some new girls,” Liano said.

“I think we are here to entertain, it’s not a matter if I like or dislike someone, it’s really a matter of what is great for the audience.

“I think fresh blood is a good thing.”

Filming on the next series will start in July.

When asked about judging the Miss Universe competition, Liano had a little dig at Berenger — the pair clashed this season on and off camera.

“I’m no longer a novice now, am I?” she said.

“I’m an expert.

“I’ll just ask Pettifleur, just call me Eddie, Eddie expert.”

The empire of Liano is building, she will have a second book out in the near future titled The Fearless Guide To Life, a unisex fragrance is in the works, as is a face cream range.

She also has filmed a pilot called Judge Gina, an announcement on that is expected soon.

Meghan Edmonds Talks Life As A 'Real Houseife', Friendship with Heather Dubrow


BravoTV.com:
It's not easy being the new girl. But thanks to support from folks like Tamra Judge and Heather Dubrow, the Real Housewives of Orange County's latest housewife Meghan King Edmonds has found the transition a little easier.

And Heather, who she describes as "wonderful and full of spunk and life," even offered up some advice to Meghan. "She said basically, 'Meghan you are you and I love you for who you are, so continue to be yourself. Stand your ground. Say what you mean and mean what you say, and you'll do great,'" she tells Perez Hilton TV.

Meghan, who is married to former baseball pro and FOX Sports announcer hubby Jim Edmond, also grew close to Tamra, who was "really positive and really welcoming" to her while filming the last season. The two have also bonded over parenting and stepparenting.

"Throughout this season there's a lot of dips and peaks and valleys and ups and downs and ins and outs and lefts and rights," she further teases. "There's an evolution of butting heads and not butting heads... I'd say I'm definitely the most consistent in my relationships with Heather and Tamra.

In addition to showing viewers her growing friendships with the RHOC ladies, they will also get to see her as a stepmother to Jim's teen daughter, on top of dealing with her long distance relationship with her husband.

"I also have a very unique dynamic with my family situation," she says. "My husband is back and forth from our house in St. Louis to our house in Orange County, because he works in St Louis and I'm living in Orange County with his 17-year-old daughter—who I'm stepmom to and I'm closer in age to her than my own husband. And so we have this interesting dynamic."

So, what's she like at the end of the day? "I would say my personality, I'm very opinionated," she said. "I'm not afraid to speak my mind, stand my ground, so they'll definitely see a lot of that this season."
