Looks like things are getting ugly on the new season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey!
In Touch has exclusively learned that Jacqueline Laurita was behind the decision to cast her close friends Siggy Flicker and Dolores Catania — as she planned to use them in her personal vendetta against Teresa Giudice!
“Jacqueline is an extremely smart and needed women on the cast that
she could control. Siggy and Dolores were so excited to be on the show,
there was no question where their loyalty would be,” a production source
tells In Touch.
“In the beginning of the season, Siggy and Dolores did everything
Jacqueline told them to do, which was very frustrating for producers…
Siggy and Dolores were literally given marching orders from Jacqueline.
At first, they fell in line, but as the season played out, there was a
definite shift.”
This comes shortly after In Touch exclusively revealed Jacqueline stormed off set following a confrontation with her once-close friend Teresa.
To see how the drama plays out, tune in to season 7 of RHONJ, which will air on Bravo this summer!

Space is what keeps Carole Radziwill‘s relationship alive.
“I find that when Adam [Kenworthy] and I spend a lot of time
together, but when we don’t see each other for a weekend or one or two
days, and then we see each other again, it kind of rekindles that
original feeling we had when we first met,” the “Real Housewives of New
York” star told Page Six at SPiN on Wednesday.
“I don’t mean that in a bad way, I think it’s important to have separate but equal lives,” she added.
Radziwill, 52, who met the 29-year-old chef in the kitchen of cast mate Luann de Lesseps‘
Sag Harbor home last season, became a target of gossip as Kenworthy
once dated the niece of the Countess. And while the May-December romance
soured Radziwill’s friendship with de Lesseps, 50, the bride-to-be revealed the former pals have moved forward.
“We are in a better place,” de Lesseps shared Monday. “We’ve had our
issues for sure, so I’m glad to see that we’re in a better place.”

Cha-ching!
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Sheree Whitfield
was in New York City last week, but it wasn't for her reality star gig.
The socialite is adding "author" to her resume, as she had meetings
with book publishers for a secret new book!
"Sheree's proposal for her forthcoming novel was seen by multiple
publishers and it was so great it incited a bidding war," said a source,
"Sheree stars on the highest rated Housewives show and that will
certainly ensure huge sales."
Although her book may be secret, her meetings about the deal have not
been. A source said, "She was seen having a business dinner at the
exclusive Polo Restaurant." The source continued, "The table was filled
with business people and it looked like there were serious negotiations
going on."
Sheree had fetched close to a million dollar advance, but her rep
remained tight-lipped about her lucrative book deal. "Sheree is very
happy, however I can't comment on anything further at this time," her
rep said.
"Sheree chose to return to the The Real Housewives of Atlanta mostly because she emerged as the fan favorite and is loving it," her rep went on.
A friend of the reality star said, "She is the voice of reason on the show. I am so happy she's made the decision to go back."
It's pretty safe to say that Sheree was a huge draw this season and
her lucrative book deal has proven a sure foot in for being cast for the
next season of RHOA.

After struggling to conceive, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss tells In Touch how excited she is to be a mother again.
“I’m just obsessed with him right now!” the 39-year-old, who is also mom to Riley, 13, and stepdaughter Kaela, 19, says of her baby.
Kandi and her husband of two years, Todd Tucker, “went over a lot of hurdles to conceive” with IVF — which makes her joy since welcoming son her son, Ace, in January all the more sweet.
“We really worked hard for Ace,” she says.
Kandi does admit it is different this time around finally having a boy.
"Girls get away with murder!” the Bravolebrity states. “I think I’ll be a bit harder on Ace because I spoiled Riley.”
Having a newborn does change things, Kandi explains, but she is lucky to have the support of her family and hands-on husband.
“Todd is a great dad,” gushes Kandi of her husband. “He’s like,
‘Babe, we gotta go on dates,’ because our baby is literally coming
between us — like in the middle of the bed!”

This is going to be intense.
Bravo's three-part reunion with the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" will begin next month on Bravo and it looks like there's going to be a lot of drama.
In a new sneak peek of the special, we see Lisa Rinna confront Lisa Vanderpump about everything she's supposedly been doing behind the scenes of the show this season ... much, apparently, at Yolanda Foster's expense.
During the reunion, Lisa brings up Vanderpump's role in the whole
"Munchausen's syndrome" conversation -- something Rinna seemingly
accused Yolanda of having instead of Lyme disease earlier in the season.
And according to Harry Hamlin's wife, while the ladies
were celebrating Rinna's birthday, Lisa made a comment about Yolanda's
health after Foster made her brief makeup-free appearance.
"Harry said we need to support this woman whether she is sick or no
and that's when you went 'There goes our f--king story line!'" Rinna
says about the night in the video.
"No, I did not say that," the "Vanderpump Rules" star declares, as Yolanda tries to mask the tears in her eyes. "The cameras were there all night."
"Are you kidding me?" Vanderpump says in disbelief.
"I'm sorry Yolanda," Rinna exclaims. "I'm sorry that I brought it into this," she says, as Vanderpump tries to chime in.
"I'm not done!" Rinna shouts. "I got a phone call from you and you encouraged me to say 'Munchausen's,'" she says to Lisa.
"You called me at home," Rinna explains, before pulling out the phone records to prove so. "And you encouraged me to say this!"
That's when Yolanda stands up and walks out of the room with her BFF Erika Jayne following after her.

Bethenny Frankel is sticking to her guns after making surprising comments about new
The Real Housewives of New York City star Julianne (Jules) Wainstein during Wednesday's premiere.
In the episode, she suggested that Wainstein might have an eating disorder – noting the new star's thin frame.
"She looks like a really thin girl ... she looks like there's an issue," Frankel said, adding, "I wrote a book called Natural Thin. This is not natural thin."
Later on Watch What happens Live, a caller asked Frankel about her tendency to give hard times to new Housewives, such as Wainstein.
"We have a little bit of a rocky road. Ultimately we're okay,
but listen, they come in and I say what I think. It doesn't matter if
you're new or old," Frankel said. "I have ripped Ramona [Singer] and
Luann [de Lesseps].
She also summed Wainstein up to Andy Cohen this way: "She's beautiful. And she has a credit card. So there's that."

3. Jules is living out her dream.
Deciding to sign onto a reality show can be a difficult decision, but not for Jules.
While speaking with the New York Post, Jules revealed that she has always dreamed of being on a reality show.
"My
whole life, everyone said, 'You need your own reality show.' But I never
thought it would actually happen," Jules explained. "It's still like a
dream."
2. She has history with two of her co-stars.
Many
times, new ladies are brought into "The Real Housewives" without
knowing any of their castmates. That is not the case with Jules.
According to Bravo TV, Jules attended the same college as Ramona Singer--the Fashion Institute of Technology--just not at the same time.
She also is a longtime friend of Dorinda Medley's, who brought Jules into the group and onto the show.
"She
called me up one day, and she was like, 'Would you be interested in
being a Housewife?' For me, it was kind of perfect timing," Jules told
the New York Post. "I kind of get high off of taking risks. So I
couldn't say no."

Bravo is turning up the Southern charm with the new series, “The Real Housewives of Dallas.”
Brandi Redmond, Stephanie Hollman, Cary Deuber, Tiffany Hendra, and
LeeAnne Locken spoke to reporters at the NBC Summer Press Day about what
separates the Dallas cast from the rest of the “Housewives” brands.
“You've heard the stereotypes of a Southern woman,” Hendra said.
“We're strong, but we're very passionate. We're nurturing. We're very
multifaceted.”
That doesn’t mean their show will be drama free.
“I think when you have five dynamic women together, you get wound up
no matter what,” Deuber said. “I don't think we don't push each
other's buttons on purpose.”
Hendra was quick to add, “But we push each other's buttons. Let's just be frank. We do.”
The “Housewives” series has become known for some bad behavior, but these ladies insist that they won’t get too out of line.
“We're like sisters. You yell and then you're like, ‘I love you.
I'm sorry,’” Hendra said. “But I would never put my hands on someone.
And when that did happen, of course, I know that Bravo does not condone
that… For us, I think that you will probably never see physical stuff
that's happened in some of the ‘Housewives’ shows.”

The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion may be over, but the feud between Kim Fields and Kenya Moore rages on.
On the third and final installment of the reunion show, Kim’s
husband, Chris Morgan, and Kenya got into it once again after he
confronted her regarding the gay rumors about him she claimed were
rampant in Hollywood.
Rather than admit she was wrong for bringing up the rumors, Kenya only said she was sorry Chris was offended, a declaration Andy Cohen deemed “a crappy apology."
In a new interview with BravoTV.com,
Kim says Andy didn’t miss the mark with his assessment of the
situation, saying, “It was as ridiculous as its source. Agreed with
Andy, it was crappy.”
Despite her fellow castmates saying she didn’t fit in with the show, Kim admits she’s not trying to.
“I don't believe I was invited to this show to fit in, but be myself,” she reveals.

Don’t worry “Housewives” fans: Bethenny Frankel‘s mysterious health issue isn’t cancer.
“I don’t have cancer. I don’t even like that that word is sort of out there,” the 45-year-old confirmed to “Entertainment Tonight.” “I
have a couple of different female issues going on at the same time that
have created kind of the perfect storm, so I am dealing with it.”
The rumor began after the trailer for the upcoming season of “The Real Housewives of New York City” showed the reality star saying she needs to undergo surgery. She also talks about finding out whether she has a living will.
Without revealing what the issue is, she added, “It is and has been scary.”
She also told People last month, “I’m facing a women’s health issue that many women can relate to.”
Looks like we will have to wait for “RHONY” to see what’s really going on.
Season 8 of the Bravo reality show premieres on Wednesday.
