Cat Ommanney vs Countess LuAnn De Lesseps

http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/watch-what-happens-live-cat-ommanney-luann-delesseps.jpg

If there's one thing we can say for Andy Cohen, he knows how to mix it up on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live. On Thursday's (April 28) episode, not only did he have former Real Housewives of DC cast member, Cat Ommanney, on after the network unceremoniously canceled her series, but he threw in divorced royal, the Real Housewives of New York's LuAnn De Lesseps.

It didn't take long before Cat began showing her dislike for LuAnn when Andy played a game in which The Countess judged the Brit (who made tabloid headlines after making out with Prince Harry) on her royal manners.

Not only that, but Cat took to Twitter and Facebook to make sure her feelings on The Countess were clear.

"Sorry everyone, I just wanted to clarify," she writes. "I REALLY DIDN'T ENJOY at all, being on #WWHL with @countessluann infact thought she was #notmybagatall #condescending and hope we never cross paths again #ever."

So, what did LuAnn have to say in response? "Well that was fun....," she tweets.

Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Barney: Cabo Magazine

http://starcasm.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Cabo-Social-Magazine-Vicki_Tamra.jpg?ggnoads

Real Housewives of Orange County's favorite duo, Tamra Barney and Vicki Gunvalson, have shared their lovely faces and ample bosomry on the cover of Cabo Social magazine’s 5th Anniversary Issue!

Both ladies are sporting skimpy string bikinis with the headline “Real Housewives Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Barney Love Cabo.” The move is a bit surprising from the no-nonsense insurance mogul Vicki, but seems to the the new modus operandi for the recently divorced Tamra Barney, who has found a new zest for life after separating herself from her tumultuous relationship with ex Simon Barney and moving on to tan super-hunk Eddie Judge.

Both women are looking great (as usual) but Vicki looks a little different dontcha think? Maybe it’s the hair? Or maybe it’s the separation from husband Don that has transformed her look?

Cabo Social publishes their magazines online, but the May 2011 Issue with Vicki and Tamra isn’t on the site yet. (It shouldn’t be too much longer according to this tweet from the publication on April 26: “New MAY issue of Cabo Social Magazine featuring #realhousewives @tamrabarney and @vgunvalson out VERY SOON”)

Are NeNe & Kim Both Getting Spin-offs?

http://www.ivstatic.com/files/et/imagecache/636/files/blog_articles/real-housewife-spinoff.jpg

The women of Real Housewives of Atlanta are busy filming season 4, which so far has included a baby shower for Kim Zolciak. Meanwhile, the show's two biggest stars -- arch enemies NeNe Leakes and Zolciak -- are in talks to headline their own spin-off series on Bravo, sources tell The Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Leakes' series would follow her as she moves to L.A. and tries to break into Hollywood; Zolciak's series would chronicle her life with NFL player Kroy Biermann and their new baby.

Of course, the network doesn't want them both to leave the mother show; they are the two most prominent personalities of the group, after all.

But keeping them both in the original show may be even more problematic. "The two no longer trust each other, much less like each other," writes The Atlanta Journal Constitution's radio and TV blogger Rodney Ho. "This dynamic must be creating challenges for Bravo producers shooting season four, since they want to maximize interaction among the six cast members while Kim and NeNe probably want to spend as little time face to face as possible."

Odds are that Leakes would be the one to make the break for good. Like Bethenny Frankel of The Real Housewives of New York, Leakes has parlayed her Houswives notoriety into other Hollywood gigs -- such as her current, high-profile stint on The Celebrity Apprentice -- and exploited the media exposure at every turn. That includes a big-time feud with Star Jones, which spilled over beyond the reality series when Leakes made the talk show rounds, complaining about Jones.

No doubt, some may say that The Real Housewives franchise has reached a saturation point, and there's no need for another spin-off. But producers can simply point out that The Real Housewives of Atlanta is the most popular one of all of them. Since it averages about 4 million viewers a week, largely on the draw of stars like Zolciak and Leakes, then maybe these women could carry their own shows. As far as TV execs are concerned, there's only one way to find out.

Several of the Real Housewives of New Jersey stopped by Nisha Spa & Nails Thursday afternoon for a charity event benefitting March of Dimes.

Gretchen Rossi On Her Personal Style

http://www1.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/photos/stylus/130034-Gretchen_Rossi.jpgA few years ago, Gretchen Rossi was a real estate agent. Now she's a brand, as well as one of Bravo's Real Housewives of Orange County.

Fans often ask her about her hair and skin care.

"That's where the inspiration behind the makeup line came from," she says of www.gretchenchristine.com. "It was truly my fans. I always loved makeup and quite frankly always something I thought in the back of my mind would be fun to do."

Still, Rossi acknowledges that she is not always camera-ready.

"I can't tell you how many times I run out in Juicy Couture and no makeup and hair pulled back," she says. "If I am going to Target or the grocery store, I don't need to look like I am going on camera."

Rossi wears 7 For all Mankind and J Brand Jeans.

"I don't really wear casual shirts," she says. "I do, however, have every Juicy Couture sweatsuit ever made. I am not kidding. It is ridiculous, seriously. I may need to go to therapy for it. I have a master bedroom walk-in closet. That closet holds my Juicy Couture. I had to turn another bedroom into a closet."

Rossi has plenty of everything - coats, hats and shoes.

"Louboutin is my favorite," she says. "Every time I walk in I just have a mad love affair with all the shoes. I say all the time, 'I will be back.' "

Rossi carries high-end purses from Louis Vuitton, Fendi and Versace.

"I was able to afford those, honestly, when I was a very successful real estate agent," she says.

Selling her own line of handbags was another result of fans asking, she says.

"I started to feel the sadness in my heart that my fans could never afford that," Rossi says of the purses that cost thousands of dollars. "I love to give my fans what they ask for, so that really just came about."

Alexis On Press Backlash, The Royal Wedding

http://vegasallnight.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/AlexisBellinoRedCarpet1.jpgReal Housewives of Orange County star Alexis Bellino is no stranger to living a lavish lifestyle, so it should come as no surprise that she’s excited for the Royal Wedding!

Celebuzz chatted with the 34-year-old reality star turned fashion designer about everything from how she deals with negativity in the press, growing a “thick skin” during her second season of the Bravo show and the current relationship standings with all the other housewives:

The Royal Wedding is coming up – are you preparing anything or doing anything fun?
I’m not preparing anything, but I’m really excited about it. I’m going to drag my husband to watch it. [laughs]

What are you most excited about for the wedding?
I love everything about it. It’s so formal and elegant, and I love seeing the parade. I love the different presentations for it. I can’t wait to see her dress. It’s just all so exciting!

You’ve been on the show now for a couple of years. It what ways has your life changed since starting the show?
It’s changed a lot in the fact that when I first came on the show I was kind of naïve and thought I was going to be friends with everybody. After a season of seeing everyone’s true colors and seeing how reality television works, it put a bit of a twist for the second year. You second guess yourself more because you think about how other people will perceive it. I’ve also just decided that I need to take more risks. I was very timid and scared to be confrontational during the first year. I was worried about what America would think, but I realized people are going to have different opinions.

What is your relationship with the rest of the housewives like right now?
It’s sad because I thought with Peggy coming on we would be able to survive and get back to the friendship. We’re not really on good terms as of right now, but I’m still hopeful that something might change or that we can have a discussion and start over. I miss my friend. With Tamra, I’m just shocked at what comes out of her mouth. I was hopeful that Vicki and I could start again, but I’m hurt. I hope we can put the past behind us.

How do you deal with the negativity in the press?
I don’t even read what is in the press. I stay out of it because I know that no matter what, people are going to say negative things. If someone tells me they read something, I’m hurt at first, but I think my skin is a lot thicker this year.

'Geordie Shore': UK 'Jersey Shore' Announces Cast



Might want to beef up the security at the Royal Wedding; fist pump partying is invading Britain.

While MTV sends the cast of "Jersey Shore" to Italy, England is getting its very own cast of hard-partying, drink-happy characters, as they've announced the cast of "Geordie Shore." Based, obviously, on the format of the American show, "Geordie Shore" will feature eight young scholars from the city of Newcastle -- conveniently, those from that city are known as Toons.

The cast looks similar to the American show; muscle-bound guys and girls fond of eye shadow predominate, and many of them match up to their American cousins.....This cast looks hotter than ours! THOUGHTS?

Cindy Barshop Is Hardly A Housewife!

http://www.planetrockstar.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/wpid-Cindy-Barshop-New-Real-Housewives-Of-New-York-Star-500x375.jpg

She may look like a happy-go-lucky downtown party girl on Real Housewives of New York City, but these days, Cindy Barshop is more into business and babies than boozy soirees.

“I wake up with my kids, then I work, work, work!” the single mom of 15-month-old twins Jesse and Zoe tells In Touch. As the owner of high-end spa Completely Bare, Cindy runs six New York locations, new spots in Atlanta, Beverly Hills and Dallas, and has plans to conquer Long Island and even Brazil with her state-of-the-art hair removal, tanning, and other beauty services. “When all the employees are in a positive mode and we're moving forward, that’s when I feel really good.”

Despite her full schedule, Cindy guarantees to entertain fans of the Bravo reality show. The bubbly brunette, who says castmates Jill Zarin and Kelly Killoren Bensimon are her friends, foreshadows a rift with a few of the series’ other women. “When we’re away, all of a sudden there’s a big split!” she says, referring to a drama-filled getaway to Morocco with the girls.

And the supermom even gives love a chance this season. “I just went on a couple of dates,” she says coyly, adding that she has a weakness for the rocker type.

TEAM CHRISTINA!
