It appears as though The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Vick Gunvalson couldn’t do without her daily email affirmations because she was photographed spending New Year’s Eve with her ex Brooks Ayers! The couple reportedly split up a few months ago, much to the satisfaction of former Vicki bestie Tamra Barney and Vicki’s daughter Briana Culberson (as well as most RHOC viewers).

Tamra Barney is getting closer and closer to walking down the aisle. After celebrating her bachelorette party in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico last month, Tamra has now taken the next step in her journey to the altar. On November 30, she and the ladies of The Real Housewives of Orange County, including Lauri Waring-Peterson and Alexis Bellino, attended a wedding dress fitting, all of which taped for the upcoming season of the show.

Tamra Barney and Vicki Gunvalson used to be the best of friends, but after Vicki began dating Brooks Ayers last year, things went south between the two besties. In fact, an all-out war broke out between them during The Real Housewives of Orange County season 7. Now Vicki and Brooks have split and it looks as though Season 8 could be chock full of Tamra/Vicki BFFness!

Brooks Ayers, the possibly former boyfriend of The Real Housewives Of Orange County‘s Vicki Gunvalson, was featured in an episode of 20/20 in which he was accused by his child’s mother, Nicolette Catanzarite, of leaving her with unpaid medical bills and neglecting to pay her child support for their three-year-old, who she claimed Brooks no longer sees. Brooks threatened a lawsuit back in July and now it looks like ABC has issued a retraction of sorts.

On September 28 Vicki Gunvalson received quite the little bundle of joy, and no, I’m not talking about a Hallmark inspired text message from Brooks Ayers. Vicki’s daughter Briana Culberson gave birth to son Troy William Culberson via emergency C-section three weeks ahead of schedule! Though we did receive the good news, we have yet to see any photos of lil Troy… until now! Keep reading to see some amazing professional photos of Troy taken by photographer Anamaria Brandt.

Vicki Gunvalson is officially a grandmother. The Real Housewives of Orange County star’s daughter Briana Culberson welcomed son Troy William Culberson three weeks early this morning via emergency C-section. Briana’s husband Ryan was by her side during the delivery.

Vicki Gunvalson took a lot of heat from her family and friends The Real Housewives of Orange County last season thanks to her controversial relationship with alleged “deadbeat dad” Brooks Ayers. Despite her family’s wishes Vicki carried on with Brooks throughout the season, and well after. Now, just weeks before her daughter is due to give birth, Vicki and Brooks have apparently decided to spend some time apart.

The Real Housewives of Orange County may not be currently filming, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t plenty of drama going on. Vicki Gunvalson is still dating bad boy Brooks Ayers and her daughter, Briana Culberson, is still not happy about it — and neither is her husband. Just as she did during the season, Vicki is sticking be her man and not letting what everyone else thinks impact her life.

Vicki Gunvalson is caught in the middle of some Real Housewives of Orange County drama — and the show isn’t even currently filming! Her co-star Gretchen Rossi’s boyfriend, Slade Smiley, has revealed some outrageous information about the star and her possibly promiscuous ways.

Artist David Gilmore from the site PrettyOnTheOutside.com has been doing hilarious caricatures of Bravo’s many Real Housewives for years, and getting lots of accolades from sites like ours, Zimbio, BravoTV.com and numerous others. But David seems to have grown a bit restless working small and announced earlier today that he hopes to go big — REAL big! As in murals! (The post includes some of my favorite Gilmore caricatures for those unfamiliar with his work.)
