Siggy Flicker Spills on Season 8 Feud With Newcomer Margaret Josephs

TooFab.com:

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" Season 8 premieres Wednesday night, and Siggy Flicker told TooFab that drama goes down "right off the bat."

Siggy said she was introduced to newcomer Margaret Josephs through a mutual friend before Margaret's start on the Bravo series, but things went south very quickly.

"Right off the bat, right out of the gate, I introduce somebody to the group and welcome this person with open arms," Siggy told TooFab. "My energy and my chemistry with this person does not work. That has been shown in the trailer."

The explosive Season 8 trailer shows Siggy yelling at Margaret from across the table. "You're one of the ugliest human beings in the world for making fun of me," she says in the tease of the heated argument. 

In another scene, Siggy explains to veteran housewife Teresa Giudice during dinner that she wanted to "take [Margaret] and pull on those pigtails until they come out of her head."

NeNe Leakes Launches War with Kim Zolciak's Daughter, Brielle Biermann Over 'Racist' Snapchat Post

TMZ.com:

NeNe Leakes just put Kim Zolciak's daughter in check over a video that makes it look like NeNe has bugs in her house -- and now she's dragging Kylie Jenner into the mess.

Brielle Biermann posted a video she shot throwing major shade at NeNe's house -- bitching about the bathroom and some nasty looking bugs. NeNe immediately responded with an epic, expletive-laced rant. Here's a taste:

"We don't have roaches! If you found 1, u brought it with u or it fell outta yo funky pu**y! Please know I will get You all the way together when you start f**king wit me and mine! Go somewhere and let the air outta those fake lips, fake titties and fake ass because you will never be @kylejenner."
Yeah, she spelled Kylie wrong, but she was on one ... it happens.

NeNe added, "You had to stoop so low and be so disgusting #racisttrash #jealous #KKK #thirsty you better run yo ass back to a child's place."

It's on.

Margaret Josephs Opens Up On Why She Always Wears Her Hair in Pigtails

People.com:

Between Danielle Staub’s return and Teresa Giudice’s chair flipping, there’s so much happening in the Real Housewives of New Jersey trailer that you might have missed a crucial detail about Margaret Josephs, the new cast member joining the show this season. The 50-year-old businesswoman notoriously only wears her hair in pigtails and we desperately needed to find out why.

PeopleStyle caught up with the new cast member to ask the question everybody inevitably asks her: Why do you style your hair in pigtails?

“Everybody asked about the pigtails,” says Josephs. “I mean listen, it makes a statement. I’m not at the age of kindergarten when normally people start [wearing] their pigtails but you know they got used to it, everybody learns to love the pigtails. It just goes with my personality.”

Josephs says she used to wear her hair in pigtails as a kid, took a break from them for a “teeny bit” as an adult, but ultimately went back to her signature style. “I realized they were very disarming,” she explains. “People would mention them when I would wear them and you know people underestimate a girl in a pigtails and it’s much more important in business to be underestimated because then you [can] easily take over. So I liked it. They’re charming; they’re underestimated and who doesn’t love a girl in pigtails? Well maybe they don’t but usually they do.”

The FIT graduate owns her own fashion and accessories business, Macbeth Collection by Margaret Josephs, and says wearing her hairstyle at work has earned her the nickname, “powerhouse in pigtails.”

'Real Housewives' Franchise Returning To Florida

TMZ.com:

The 'Real Housewives' are headed back to the Sunshine State, but it won't be to Miami.

TMZ has learned that Bravo has already hired casting directors for a new franchise in Florida, but they aren't set on a location. West Pam Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton are all on the table.

What Bravo's looking for is drama and they'll go wherever they can find good storylines. Miami had a 3-season run and produced household names like Joanna Krupa and Larsa Pippen, but the ratings were terrible.

Fact is ... Miami really is an attractive option, what with South Beach. But in the Housewives world, the city is tainted, so it's off to greener pastures, or intracoastals.

No, Kenya Moore Did Not Quit 'Real Housewives of Atlanta'

USmagazine.com:

Speculation is swirling that Kenya Moore quit The Real Housewives of Atlanta after she failed to join the rest of the cast on a trip to Barcelona, Spain.

According to gossip website Tamara Tattles, the problems began when the other housewives reportedly lobbied producers for Kim Zolciak to be included on their Spanish sojourn and requested that Moore, 46, be left behind.

That appeared to be what was happening until Zolciak posted a note on Instagram on Wednesday, September 27, saying that she wasn’t going on the trip. “WAS packing to leave the country then had a choice AND I decided,” she wrote. “I’ll be headed out for #DontBeTardy press instead! Season 6 premieres October 6th 8pm on @Bravotv #WhenYourOWNShowCalls… #SomeNeedToJustGiveItUp #ArentYouTired #Season6 #IAlwaysHaveAChoice.”

But after Zolciak, 39, ducked out, Moore didn’t join the crew — instead, as Us exclusively revealed on Friday, September 29, actress and model Eva Marcille was announced as a new member of the RHOA cast for season 10 and she flew out to join NeNe Leakes and company in Europe.

That leaves newlywed Moore at home, but a production source tells Us Weekly exclusively that "Kenya has not quit the show, nor has she been fired."

Sheree Whitfield ‘Blindsided’ Over Prison Romance Storyline

RadarOnline.com:

Sheree Whitfield wanted to keep her secret prison romance under wraps while filming for The Real Housewives of Atlanta, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal!

“Sheree feels blindsided over the discussion of the particulars of her romance with prisoner Tyrone Gilliams,” an insider told Radar.

“She has known Tyrone for decades and knew that Nene Leakes had knowledge of Tyrone and his criminal past,” the insider added. “However, the discussions between the cast and inclusion of it as part of the show caught her by surprise.”

"When cast members Kandi Burruss and Nene Leakes approached her about the rumors, she got defensive because she wasn’t comfortable going on record talking about their relationship,” the insider explained. “Sheree is skeptical because she doesn’t want the push back that former RHOA star Phaedra Parks got for being romantically linked to a felon.”

“Additionally, in the trailer they edited audio of the federal correctional facility greeting over footage of her taking a phone call making her feel like the producers have some back door plot to exploit her relationship for ratings,” the insider concluded.

Whitfield, 47, previously denied that she was engaged to Gilliams and insisted to Andy Cohen that they were just “friends” in December. But, Leakes insisted in the explosive season 10 trailer that Whitfield was dating the “con artist” and the video featured a scene of Whitfield talking to an inmate on the phone.
