Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump says she felt ambushed during Part 1 of the shows reunion episode, an ambush she says likely happened because she was “out of the loop.”

Vanderpump appeared on Good Day LA to discuss the barrage in which she says she was out of touch with the shows other female stars because she was busy planning her daughter’s wedding and opening a new restaurant while the other ladies were working together to go after her and her actions on the popular reality TV series.

When host Steve Edwards joked about the other ladies gaining up on her on purpose she agreed and said it was an elaborate conspiracy in which  ”Adrienne did say to Brandi, ‘Oh, let’s meet the night before,’ and Brandi declined. I know that for a fact.”

Drama between Vanderpump is nothing new, at one point Adrienne Maloof claimed that she was selling gossip to Radar Online, a rumor that the celebrity gossip website has since denied. Maloof and Vanderpump also have competing shoe lines for which Vanderpump nicknamed Maloof’s shoeline “The Maloof Hoof.”

It’s still unclear what type of “ambushing” might occur when the second half of the Reunion special airs but you can find out via the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion Part 2 which first airs on Monday at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.

Do you think the “ambushing” was warranted based on Lisa Vanderpump’s actions towards the other Real Housewives or were they just bullying her for the sake of better TV ratings?

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards checked into a rehab facility to get help with her alcoholism and other substance abuse problems early in December. Richards checked out last week and her sister Kathy Hilton says that the star is doing “fabulous.”

Kathy said:

“She’s really strong right now, happy. She’s looking forward to moving on in her life.”

A friend of Kim’s told Life & Style magazine:

“Kim’s alcohol addiction along with other substance abuse problems has been obvious for quite some time. It’s really good that she’s finally getting help.”

Kim attended a Golden Globes after party at Bar 10 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where she presumably didn’t drink, and said:

“It’s going really well. I’m feeling phenomenal.”

Kim Richards’ substance abuse problems blew up on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hill when her co-star Brandi Glanville accused Richards of being high on meth.

Glanville said:

“She’s cracked out of her [bleeping] mind…. At least I don’t do crystal meth in the bathroom all night.”

Kim Richards denied that she was doing crystal meth but other than alcohol, the exact substance abuse problems that she was treated for in rehab were not disclosed.

Are you happy for Kim Richards?

The Real Housewife’s real husband is in real trouble. Joe Giudice, Teresa Guidice’s husband, has just been indicted in fraud charges involving a fake ID.

Reuters reports that Joe Giudice was indicted by a grand jury in Passaic County, NJ, on two criminal counts. Giudice allegedly obtained a fake driver’s license after his own license was suspended earlier this year.

Giudice is being charged with impersonation and wrongfully using information of another person. Giudice could face up to 10 years in state prison if he’s convicted.

After Giudice had his license suspended for drunk driving, he allegedly used his brother Pietro’s marriage and birth certificates to obtain another ID. The Passaic County Prosecutor’s Office started an investigation after they saw that Joe’s license bore his picture but his brother’s information.

Teresa Giudice hasn’t commented on the situation yet.

Giudice isn’t the only Real Housewife who is dealing with severe problems. Kim Richards recently had to check into rehab for a drug problem and according to the Wrap, Bethenny Frankel was recently sued for $100 million by her former company.

“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kim Richards is checking into rehab. It isn’t clear what Richards is seeking help for or where she will receive treatment.

The New York Post speculates that Hill is checking into rehab to deal with her alcohol problem. Richards, who was accused of being ”wasted out of her f—–g mind” on a recent episode of “Real Housewives,” has had alcohol problems in the past.

Richards’ substance abuse problem was introduced during the first season of “Real Housewives.”

Kim’s sister said:

“You act like an insane person. You are a liar and sick and an alcoholic. That’s right. I said it and now everybody knows.”

According to the Post, Richards checked into rehab after the fight with her sister. When Richards returned to the Bravo show, new “Real Housewife” Brandi Glanville accused Richards of doing crystal meth in the bathroom.

Richards denied the allegations, saying in a series of posts on Twitter:

“For someone who doesn’t know me personally to outright accuse me of using crystal meth leaves me bewildered … Drug abuse isn’t something you just throw around as a jab… I told the others that night, that I had just left my doctor’s for treatment of my anxiety and panic disorder… I’ll be the first to admit that I have struggled in the past with certain vices; but I have never in my life, EVER, used crystal meth.”

The 47-year-old mother of four is currently seeking help at an undisclosed location.

Are you a fan of “Real Housewife” Kim Richards? Do you think she is dealing with alcohol abuse, or something more serious, like crystal meth.

Melissa Gorga, one of the stars on Bravo’s Real Housewives of New Jersey is adamant that she never stripped while tending bar at Lookers Gentleman’s Club in New Jersey and now she’s threatening to sue anyone who claims she stripped.

Rumors about her stripping ways began after a former employee claimed that Melissa did in fact perform as an exotic dancer.

In what Gorga calls “proof” that she never stripped she has provided payroll sheets that list her as a “bar maid” along with a sworn affidavit from club owner Chris Kontos in which he testifies that Gorga ”worked solely in the capacity as a bartender.”

Backing up her claim that she’ll sue anyone who says she’s a former stripper Melissa Gorga has hired attorney James J. Leaonard Jr. who told TMZ:

“At this time we are aggressively pursuing the commencement of litigation against any and all individuals, in any jurisdiction, who have or continue to disseminate false statements against Melissa Gorga.”

She may not be a former stripper but she’s sure whoring herself out for media attention, I think the former is actually more desirable.

Do you think Melissa Gorga stripped during her time at Lookers Gentleman’s Club?

While not yet confirmed word has it that Taylor Armstrong of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is getting axed before the new season goes into production. According to reports Bravo and the shows other actresses have become fed up with Taylor’s constant crying and “neediness” which in turn has led to her ouster.

You may recall that Taylor’s husband Russell Armstrong killed himself in August while at the Los Angeles home of a family friend. Taylor discovered her husbands body after nearly 10-years together.

Taylor claimed that she suffered years of emotional, verbal, and physical abused at Russell’s hands and while that may or may not be the case her co-stars are apparently sick of her constant pity parties

The The National Enquirer claims Bravo’s Head of Programming Andy Cohen has given Armstrong the pink slip at the prodding of his other stars, according to one studio insider:

“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was turning into the Taylor Armstrong therapy. Whenev­er the wives are together, Taylor would somehow manage to start crying and complaining about her life. Taylor is telling friends that the show was the only income she had to take care of herself and her 5-year-old daughter Kennedy. But she drove everyone away with her neediness.”

You may have seen Armstrong on  Access Hollywood’s last week the soon to be former reality TV star said she would love to return for a new season, noting:

“I love my cast and Bravo has been amazing to me. I’m absolutely open to it,” while adding, “Again, it depends the most for me on whether it’s the right choice for [my daughter] Kennedy. I really have to see how she’s doing and make sure it’s the right choice for her.”

With the amount of botox Armstrong has underwent it will be hard to tell if she’s truly sad about leaving the show based on her one facial expression. Are you happy to see Taylor leaving the show or do you think she added some type of needed element to the reality TV series?

Taylor Armstrong Fired From ‘The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills’ [Report] is a post from: The Inquisitr

Have the Real Housewives of New York City finally pulled too many fights even for the likes of Bravo? A new rumor is circulating around the web which claims that four housewives won’t return next season.

According to rumors Cindy Barshop, Alex McCord, Kelly Bensimon and Jill Zarin will not return for the next season of the popular reality TV show.

Fans of the show are very aware of the tensions that have continued to climb over the last several season as the lady’s have squared off into high school type cliques known as “The Brunettes” and “The Blondes.”

It’s still not clear if the direction Bravo is possibly choosing to take  has anything to do with feuding members, it could simply be that after four seasons producers want to introduce some new blood into the show to revitalize ratings and the overall feel of the show.

According to Jill Zarin’s rep:

“The truth is that Jill is still in discussions with Bravo for season 5 and hasn’t made a final decision about returning to the show.”

Cindy Barshop goes on to tell HuffPost Celeb:

“Nothing is 100 [percent] decided yet, it could go either way.”

McCord reveals on her and husband Simon’s Facebook page:

“Simon & I are still under consideration for season 5 & we’ll know one way or another very soon. I have to laugh at all the purported ‘insiders’ giving ‘off the record’ quotes. Some of the things I’ve read are frankly just absurd.” However, in an interview with New York Live, Countess Luann de Lesseps reveals, “Apparently there are 3 or 4 women being traded in and out.”

If the rumors are true who would you like to see leaving the show?

Bravo Firing Large Part Of “Real Housewives Of New York City” Cast [Rumor] is a post from: The Inquisitr

Quite predictably, the Housewives of New York and the OC have got their backs up about. . . ridiculous, petty stuff. I’m sure that you aren’t surprised in the least, if you’ve ever seen the show where they fight about tennis, seating arrangements, dinner plans, and behind-the-back catty little convos.

This time, the OC and New York Housewives united to practice their script for the Bravo A-List Awards. Bethenny Frankel, in all her loud glory, revealed to People that the problem may have started when OC Houswife Jeana Tomasina said that she didn’t like the script they were practicing. Bethenny told People:

“They [The O.C. Housewives] said in our material that my apartment is a two-by-four, and it’s actually a one-by-two, and so I can take it, I don’t care. But they’re offended that I’m saying something about them living 65 miles from the beach. Jeana said, ‘I don’t think that’s funny.’”

Some reports hint that Bethenny might have gotten into a scratch-fest with Tamra Barney afterwards, who said that “Bethenny scratched me a little bit. I swear to god. She tried to get me from behind and I put my arm up, and she scratched me. I covered it with makeup.’”

NY Housewife Jill contradicted Tamra’s gossip, saying that Bethenny just “gave a dressing down” to one OC houswife backstage.

Should it come to a fight, my money’s on New York.
