Alexis Bellino may have not had much support on the most recent season of Real Housewives of Orange County, but now that the season is over, she is stepping out in support of herself! She and a friend were spotted in Los Angeles yesterday sporting matching “Team Alexis” tank tops in honor of last night’s reunion special — at least that’s what we’re assuming.
Fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County are currently in limbo, suspended between dramatic episodes of a two-part Season 7 Reunion Special, but that doesn’t mean the drama has stopped! Vicki Gunvalson had some rather harsh things to say about former bestie Tamra Barney on her Bravo blog, and Tamra later responded with her own blog entry – which was then edited by Bravo, with lots of the Vicki retorts cut out!
We all know Tamra is gonna say what she wants to say (the only thing she’ll let someone cut out of hers are her implants!), and that’s exactly what she did by posting her censored responses on her Facebook wall earlier today! Cue ring girl. And… DING! DING!
Brooks Ayers burst onto the scene as the boyfriend of Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Vicki Gunvalson’s last June. Unfortunately for him, the tabloids got a hold of his rather unsavory background info and all hell broke loose! Brooks’ shady past included arrests, not paying child support, and plenty of baby mamas! One of his child’s mothers recently spoke to 20/20 about his ‘deadbeat dad’ behavior and let’s just say, Brooks is not happy. In fact, he’s suing ABC! Keep reading for the details, including Brooks’ statement about the 20/20 interview.
Real Housewives of Orange County star Slade Smiley has been the target of plenty accusations both on screen and off. Even with all of that, Gretchen Rossi’s partner has been a trooper. He’s kept his head held high and remained focused on his goals. What are they, you ask? Slade recently took time to answer some burning questions, including why he has had such a hard time paying child support and what his new job is!
The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Gretchen Rossi is currently promoting her new song “Unbreakable” and just before her appearance at Krave nightclub in Las Vegas last night she made the surprise announcement to fans on Twitte rthat she got a new summer hairdo! Keep reading to see Gretchen’s shorter locks (a much safer look for any woman on Bravo’s infamous hair-pulling reality show franchise!) and get your club on with a photo from Krave last night while listening to Diana Rossi’s new “Funbreakable” single!
As we reported earlier, Vicki Gunvalson’s boyfriend Brooks Ayers was the subject of a 20/20 report last week featuring Nicolette Catanzarite, the mother of his three-year-old son, calling him out for being a deadbeat dad. Now we have the actual video as well as a number of photos of Nicolette with and without Brooks!
Vicki Gunvalson has received plenty of backlash since engaging in a relationship with Brooks Ayers. Ayers’ dirty laundry was broadcast on the internet shortly after they began dating and fans were shocked at what they saw. Ayers is a dead beat dad who owes child support to the mother of his children. He was even thrown behind bars for his lack of payment. After all the negative things she said about Slade, how could she date someone like that?
Over the course of the three-part Real Housewives Of Orange County finale the term “evil eye” was said 29 times! (Thank you diligent researchers at Watch What Happens Live!) If you were like us you were confused why Vicki Gunvalson’s boyfriend Brooks Ayers was making such a big deal out of a slightly disparaging quizzical look from Tamra Barney, but we ran a photo of Tamra through “The World According To Brooks” filter in Photoshop and the results may shock you! (Just to be certain the filter was working properly, we also ran a photo of Vicki through it. Seems to be working fine.)
As mentioned on the Season 7 finale of The Real Housewives of Orange County, star Alexis Bellino and her husband Jim have just opened their very own Sky Zone trampoline park franchise in Anaheim, California. Keep reading to see photos of the facility and take two video tours with Alexis herself! (Sadly, we don’t have any videos of Alexis actually on the trampolines. Yet.)
Sarah Winchester infamously ate the bow of Heather Dubrow’s cake on last week’s episode of Real Housewives of Orange County. This week, the Dubrow’s are fighting back. In fact, Terry is questioning Sarah’s claim to be an heir to the Winchester fortune!
The season finale of Real Housewives of Orange County happened last night (after about 45 episodes at Heather Debrow’s “You ate my bow” party) and “evil eye” ruled the final part of the evening which is allegedly what Tamra gave to Vicki Gunvalson according to boyfriend Brooks Ayers. Did it even really happen? What is an “evil eye” anyway? Either way it was said a total of 29 times throughout the entire episode!
Gretchen Rossi debuted her latest single, “Unbreakable,” on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM morning show earlier today — and this isn’t your average Housewife’s single. “Unbreakable” has a story behind it and the title even has ties to the Real Housewives of Orange County season 7 finale.
Vicki Gunvalson’s relationship with her daughter Briana has always been a bit of a power struggle. Vicki loves to be in control and sometimes is a bit too involved in Briana’s life. Upon hearing that Briana had ran off to Vegas and gotten married, Vicki kind of lost it. Their relationship was not doing well. Plus, Briana is extremely sceptical of Vicki’s relationship with boyfriend Brooks Ayers. She worries that Brooks is using her for her money.
Vicki Gunvalson has had one heck of a year. The Real Housewives of Orange County star has gotten a divorce, started dating again, and dealt with her only daughter, Briana, running off to Vegas and getting married. It’s no wonder why she’s been acting a bit emotional on the show. Vicki has also developed a new friendships as well as said goodbye to an old one.
Gretchen Rossi and her boyfriend Slade Smiley have been together for years now. Although Gretchen has been vocal about not being ready to get married, she is ready to make a commitment of another kind — a baby! The Real Housewives of Orange County star has been talking about getting pregnant for months — could she be pregnant now?
Sarah Winchester was brought onto Real Housewives of Orange County as a ‘friend of the Housewives.’ She was a close friend of Gretchen Rossi’s and quickly caused a stir when she picked a fight with Vicki Gunvalson at Heather Dubrow’s bowling party.
Alexis Bellino has been all the talk lately after the ‘phony intervention’ in Costa Rica on Real Housewives of Orange County. She has taken on a different role this season and at times, it seems as if everyone is against her. She has admitted it hasn’t been the easiest year for her, so will she back for more?
Earlier this week, rumors hit the web claiming Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson had tried to get Alexis Bellino fired from the show after the ‘phony intervention’ in Costa Rica. The report claimed that after consoling Alexis following their drama-filled dinner, Vicki went back to the cast and suggested they all write a letter to the heads at Bravo suggesting they give Alexis the boot. The following morning, Vicki confided in the ladies that she had been up all night writing her letter, but none of the other ladies cared to do their part.
It was announced earlier this year that Real Housewives of Miami would return for a second season after a dismal first season. However, the cast needed a face-lift (no pun intended) and two wives got the boot — Larsa Pippen and Cristy Rice. The rest of the women will return as official housewives with the exception of Alexia Echevarria who will return in a limited role.
Vicki Gunvalson has clued us into who’s joining the cast for their sophomore season.
Tamra Barney has gotten word of Vicki Gunvalson’s Bravo blog — and she’s not happy. This week, Vicki accused Tamra of being responsible for the negative press Brooks has gotten since they have been dating. Not only is Tamra denying claims, she is shocked that Vicki would say such a thing!
Despite recent reports to the contrary, it appears that The Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson is still getting her love tank filled by her talking greeting card from Mississippi, Brooks Ayers! Vicki and Brooks joined Alexis Bellino in Sonoma and Napa, California this weekend to celebrate Jim Bellino’s 50th birthday. See photos of both couples, including Alexis getting stitches after sitting on a wine glass at the party!
News broke a couple weeks ago that The Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson was to become a grandmother as her daughter Briana Wolfsmith Culberson was expecting her first child with husband, and fellow elopee, Ryan Culberson. Briana and Ryan came up with a creative way to announce whether they were having a boy or a girl with colored icing inside a wedding cake from their belated ceremony this weekend. Keep reading to find out whether the icing inside was pink or blue!
The Real Housewives of Orange County stars Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Barney hosted a launch party for their Wines By Wives club last night at at The Lexington in Hollywood, California. The red carpet event not only featured the blonde matriarchs of Bravolebridom, but a number of other celebrities showing their support for V&T’s business and charity venture. Keep reading for photos and videos as well as an explanation of Wines By Wives and how it works.
Jim Bellino’s wife got the bump taken out of her nose recently, but Real Housewives of Orange County cast mate Tamra Barney claims Jim had some work done himself. Did he really have a chin implant?
We often see female reality stars go under the knife on camera to have breast implants put in, but rarely do we see them on camera having them taken out. That’s exactly what Tamra Barney is doing during this season of The Real Housewives of Orange County, though. The 44-year-old revealed back in January that part of her motivation for having the procedure done was because of a breast cancer scare, but she reveals in her upcoming Dr. Oz appearance that it wasn’t just a breast cancer scare that motivated her, it was also actual cancer – cervical cancer.
Real Housewives of Orange County couple Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley were out last night at a red carpet event when all h-e-double-hockey-stick broke loose. An as yet unidentified man, whom I will go ahead and label as the most aggressive bill collector this side of associates of Tony Soprano, came after Smiley hard core for money he owes in child support. In the clip dude approaches Rossi and Smiley as they’re trying to get in to their vehicle and berates Smiley over money he claims he’s been hired to collect.
Tamra Barney has bounced back strong from her 2010 divorce from Simon Barney and is apparently ready to walk down the aisle again, this time with boyfriend Eddie Judge. Get the deets and the tweets that have us convinced the O.C. Housewife is getting married.
Tonight on the Real Housewives of Orange County we get to see Tamra Barney’s 80s-themed Bunko party. This is the one where Tamra and Vicky confront Slade after he dissed them during his stand-up comedy routine at The Improv (we think Gretchen used our “wanted” poster of her during her set, but the Bravo editors…
Where do the stars of The Real Housewives of Orange County go for their info? Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley go to starcasm.net! Or at least Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley do when they’re looking for info on Vicki Gunvalson’s new boyfriend and his history of unpaid child support. Check out the video clip that features our site on Slade’s laptop as he discovers Brooks is guilty of a lot of the things Vicki has given him such a hard time for over the last couple seasons.
Donn Gunvalson’s stepson Michael Wolfsmith told The National Enquirer that his mom’s ex-husband Donn Gunvalson has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He said that this cancer diagnosis, and also Brianna’s elopement have caused things in their household to be weird, and even though Vicki and Donn are divorcing (Vicki is also dating a new man), the whole family is pulling for him.
After having her breast implants removed The Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney has been inundated with fans asking her why she would do that, to which she responded on Facebook with a laundry list of reasons. Keep reading for those as well as photos of Tamra before and after she had her “stripper look” breast implants removed.
Heather Dubrow can now officially call herself a Real Housewife now that she finds her husband on the wrong end of a lawsuit. We previously profiled the 42-year-old brunette, yes brunette, mother of four Heather Dubrow and wondered how she might manage to squeeze that dark hair in and get any attention from the other OC ladies. Well, if there were an unsaid secret admittance requirement to the group it would have to include your man and lawsuits. Find out about Dr. Dubrow’s current and past headaches here.
The original drama mamas of the OC are coming back for their seventh season on February 7! The announcement came via a Bravo press release earlier today that also touted brunette newbie Heather Dubrow as the newest cast member. Keep reading for the full press release and find out some of what to expect in the upcoming season!
My mercurial Real Housewives of Orange County fandom finds me with a new favorite cast member each week, but there are a few of my favorite things that remain constant – Gretchen Rossi in a bikini, Tamra Barney in a bubble bath, Vicki Gunvalson in a catfight, and Alexis Bellino in a pair of high heels and tight pants! (I’m reluctant to say her husband Jim Bellino probably agrees.)
The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Vicki Gunvalson has a little something extra to be thankful for this holiday season – a new son-in-law! Vicki’s daughter Briana Wolfsmith eloped in Las Vegas with fiance Ryan Culberson either Wednesday or Thursday!
It appears The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Slade Smiley is taking Tamra Barney’s accusations from last season’s Reunion Special that he is a “deadbeat dad” to heart. Although he is still unemployed from his real estate job after the market crash a few years ago, he and girlfriend Gretchen Rossi are putting their fame to work for his son, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2006, by sponsoring a fundraiser for him Tuesday night at the Victor Paul Salon in Costa Mesa, California.
The cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County are no strangers to mudslinging, and three of the gals (with their better halves) took their skills from the figurative to the literal during the 2011 Del Mar Mud Run in Del Mar, California on Saturday. Keep reading for photos of Tamra Barney, Eddie Judge, Ryan Vieth, Gretchen Rossi, Slade Smiley, Heather Dubrow and Dr. Terry Dubrow gettin’ dirty for charity!
We reported last week that Peggy Tanous would not be back for season 7 of The Real Housewives of Orange County and it appears as though Bravo has already begun filming with her replacement! Joining the West Coast blond drama mama juggernaut is actress and musician Heather Dubrow, wife of Newport Beach plastic surgeon (and reality show veteran) Dr. Terry Dubrow. Keep reading for everything you need to know about this sexy 42-year-old mother of four who hopes to bring brunette back to the OC!
What in the world is going on over at Bravo?!? They’re losing housewives faster than King Henry VIII! The latest drama mama to jump ship is The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Peggy Tanous, who posted her farewell announcement on Facebook earlier today. Keep reading for the full announcement as well as my favorite example from my now worthless collection of Peggy Tanous pin-up trading cards. (Cue Debby Downer music)
The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Gretchen Rossi is officially on the lam again after a judge issued a bench warrant for her arrest yesterday. The latest chapter in the ongoing legal battle between Gretchen and her ex boyfriend Jay Photoglou, who are suing each other for libel, defamation and slander, stems from Gretchen’s failure to appear in court on Thursday. Keep reading for details about the arrest warrant and read a transcript of the legal documents describing the ridiculous lengths a private investigator had to go to to serve her the original papers! (It includes a video camera, bad grammar and a bit of Gretchen profanity!)
In the August 1, 2011 issue of In Touch Weekly the tabloid listed The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Alexis Bellino as one of many Bravo housewives suffering from serious financial woes. The issue has angered the Bellinos to the point where their lawyer has written a cease and desist letter to In Touch demanding a retraction with the threat of a lawsuit if the tabloid doesn’t comply. Read what the article had to say about Alexis and Jim Bellino and read the complete letter sent by their attorney!
In a rare non-Bravo crossover event stars from two different Housewives shows will be appearing together!

See pictures of the sexy blond reality star coming and going in her Marco Marco designed tribute to Betsy Ross!
There’s a zesty twist arising in the world of The Real Housewives of Orange County! News of the financial status of Vicki Gunvalson’s rebound boyfriend, Brooks Ayers, is showing that all is not as perfect as she’d like us to believe.
It seems Ayers has been filling up Vicki’s love tank with somebody else’s fuel, namely that of his ex-wife Kim and ex-girlfriend Nicolette Catanzarite. Between both women Ayers is nearly $40,000 behind in child support payments for a combined total of four children – three with Kim and a 16-month-old son with Nicolette. Ayers is so far behind, in fact, that he was arrested twice in 2010 for failing to make payments to Kim. Keep reading for all the crazy details, Brooks’ mug shot photo and a predictable response from the much-maligned Gretchen Rossi!
The Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi just can’t seem to shake her persistent ex Jay Photoglou. The couple is currently embroiled in a bitter legal battle that includes allegations of libel, slander and defamation over their differing accounts of the details of their relationship. And speaking of those “differing accounts,” we won’t be hearing Jay’s take on their sexual or financial history thanks to a protective order granted by a judge on Friday. Keep reading for the transcript from the court order detailing exactly what all else involving the case we won’t be hearing about over the next few weeks.
Yesterday was the finale of Real Houseiwves of Orange County Season 6, and it was one of those for real reality show trainwrecks. Tears were streaming, drinks were flying, people were fighting over lips and old boyfriends. It was dramatic, but the crazy was all coming from a genuine place. This is why Bravo is so successful.
But somehow it all got upstaged by hockey player Sean Avery on Watch What Happens Live.
Season 6 of The Real Housewives of Orange County had more cat fights than a New York City alley way! Usually these shows tend to naturally divide into two teams during the season (Team Bethenny vs. Team Jill for example) but this season of RHOC had enough teams to create a March Madness bracket! The result was a drama-filled melee of vitriol and front-stabbing that was as unpleasant as it was mesmerizing. Keep reading to watch a jaw-dropping preview clip of the season finale that had Andy Cohen declaring on twitter that he thought “it was our best OC reunion in 6 seasons. Really dramatic, tense, powerful, and emotional.”
Vicki Gunvalson and her daughter Briana Wolfsmith haven’t had the best health year. This season on RHOC Vicki suffered from internal bleeding, and had to have surgery, and last season the Real Housewives of Orange County taped Briana as she went through a harrowing cancer scare. Last week (in real life time, not on the…

It didn’t take long for The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Peggy Tanous (aka Peggy Tyler, aka Peggy Farney, aka Margaret Farney) to join current and former OC cast mates in the not-so-glamorous home foreclosure club!

In tonight’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County fans are subjected to treated to another California Dinner Party From Hell as Vicki Gunvalson and her husband Donn continue their marital implosion with a terribly awkward and vitriolic discussion about why they never had kids together.

Kelly Bensimon may have been on the cover of Playboy and Kim Zolciak’s baby bump may have been featured on Life & Style, but neither of those compare to the blond matriarchs of Orange County Tamra Barney and Vicki Gunvalson who shared their lovely faces and ample bosomry on the cover of Cobao Social magazine’s 5th Anniversary Issue! Keep reading to see the Orange County bounty and find out which ’80s television star Tamra Barney is planning on spending Cinco de Mayo with in Vegas!
Is it just me or does it seem like 80% of all court cases involve reality stars? And I think half of those involve either Gretchen Rossi or Slade Smiley.
The latest legal issues for the handsome Real Housewives of Orange County couple involve Gretchen Rossi’s cosmetics line Gretchen Christine Beaute and her former partner, makeup artist RonAnn Meyers. On April 13, 2011 Meyers filed a 37-page lawsuit against Gretchen and Slade asking for more than $100,000 in damages for “breach of oral contract,” “Fraudulent conspiracy” and “fraud/deceit” among other things. Keep reading for a summary of the suit as well as bullet points for RonAnn’s claims.
The rest of the world gets annoyed at Slade for just being Slade, but his girlfriend/business partner Gretchen Rossi also has her limits. Gretchen’s tolerance for Slade is negatively correlated with his waistline. In an earlier episode this season, Gretchen got annoyed when Slade ordered pasta at dinner, calling him “Tubba Wubba,” and complaining that…
The embittered legal battle between The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Gretchen Rossi and former boyfriend Jay Photoglou has taken another step in Photoglou’s favor as an Orange County Judge rules the bombshell blond must fork over $40,799.38 in attorney’s fees “after several of the claims she made in her lawsuit were dismissed.” That’s right, Gretchen is forking out the big bucks because of her defamation suit against Jay! D’oh!
You can now add blinged-out hipster wear to the growing list of products available from Bravo’s entrepreneurial batch of Real Housewives thanks to Orange County’s Alexis Bellino!
The bombshell blond was sporting a diamond-stranded trucker hat in last week’s episode and there was an instant influx of fans wanting to own their own debutant trailer gear. No need to fear hat lovers! Alexis teamed up with Glitzy Bella (who I assume made Alexis original dome topper) and you can now buy your own diamond trucker cap in five different colors.
Continuing her newly rediscovered zest for life, The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Tamra and her new dapper dude Eddie Judge are currently enjoying a fun-filled vacation in Mexico where they were photographed yesterday wearing very little and riding a jet ski.
