Didn’t really see this one coming, but apparently Alexis Bellino of the Real Housewives of Orange County was once upon a time, a Maxim “Hometown Hottie.”
Back in 2003, while married to her first husband Jeff Barry, Alexis took some rather sexy shots for the Men’s magazine Maxim. She was representing her then hometown La Jolla, California. The non-professional looking photos look to have been taken by Alexis and then submitted to Maxim. More of the photos are posted below.
You can read more about Alexis and Jeff’s messy divorce here!
According to the Maxim website, Alexis is listed as being 5’7″ and weighing 123 lbs. Her profession is listed as Health club manager, her favorite artist is Madonna and she is listed as married. She would go on to divorce her first husband later on that year.
As for her passion, Alexis says, “I have a passion for fitness and spoiling my two teacup chihuahuas.”

Alexis Bellino 2003 Maxim Photo
WHOA! The first picture looks like her but the other two certainly don’t — especially that last one! She looks like Becky “Buckwild”!! And she had a butt?
It’s amazing what a difference plastic surgery, peroxide and purging make.
She is a cute young girl with a killer body. What a great stomach. I like her hair better now color wise. I bet she drove the young boys crazy with those sexy curves.
Mangina has a twin????? Does she roam the Newport Coast like the infamous Sasquatch? Be afraid…be very afraid!
Your Right Lizzie, she does look like Becky ‘Buckwild” Flava,Flav!
Becky.. look at her butt!!!!
She’s got a big butt and I cannot lie!!!
I’m just saying.. b
The reason her butt was so big is that Earth Jesus aka Taliban Jim aka The Bloviator sprang forth from her giant ass. She birthed him just like her hero Mary, the real Jesus’ mother… 6 degrees of something.
WooHoo!!!
Thanks RT for posting these!! LOL
SHE IS SO FAKE Everything has been purchased!
Mmmm, nice cakes!
I’m sure many a man would have loved to spread some icing on them.
I could be wrong but I believe all the Orange County ladies outside of Gretchen have had plastic surgery. That doesnt make them fake in my eyes. Alexis is just a beautiful lady with a dynamite figure. That is why she is in a magazine like Maxim most likely. Many men will find her very appealing. I have no reason to make fun of her looks (that would be silly since she is a knockout) nor make fun of her religion.
OK, mystery solved:
She got the 700cc’s to balance out her big butt so that she doesn’t have weight-and-balances issues walking down the street.
Scar True Dat!!!
But the newest issue she has now is that she had to stop using the treadmill for fear of perpetual black eyes..
If her husband at the time did his part things could have been different I mean look shes with a man that meets her every need.
lol – I’m Just Sayin
Just looking at these pics – everything looks cheap – from her DKNY Outlet Store short top paired with her brite pink bargain-bin basement sale panties, to the torn-off “mom” jeans holding them open…trashy
And then, I could go on about her budget highlights, her nose – (Jeff Barry was right, looks like she slimmed it down in recent years), her face and chest sun-damaged skin, uneven spray tan (she is darker from the waist down in the top pic) the stupid barbell to cover up her ugly bellybutton, and her obvious cc’s….
but I won’t – oh but I just did….ooops
“WHITNEY”
[Begin Snark]
Yep, let’s just leave everyone in our life and cancel all relationships with people who can’t afford to come up with the cash to make us stick around! Riiiight!
Let’s just have an affair with “Andrew” a married father and lie about it to our husband so that he won’t know we’re sleeping on the side and learning the Rachel Uchitel code of homewrecking!
Who the hell cares about “Andrew’s” wife and kids anyway! They just got in the way of cold hard cash and the green bucks free-for-all coming-my-way that makes life so worth living! Riiiight???
After all, Jeff Barry is an employed engineer and Jim Bellino is what…a federally indicted scam participant who is a bottom-feeding pawner and property-flipper whose pool-table business was shut down by the state of California for non-payment of taxes and failure to file with the secretary of state. Niiiice!!!
But then, the cash is comin in and life is good! Riiiight????
Scar…
lmfaoooo!!! I was relooking at the pictures to look for her holding a barbell.. a weight of some sort… couldnt find it and was wondering why you mentioned it?? I just realized you meant the belly piercing!!!!
LMFAOOOOOO!!!!!
Whitney…
HUH? Her husband at the time WAS doing his part – going to work, trying to be married and do the right thing…meanwhile Alexis is sleeping with a MARRIED MAN – no wait a minute, A MARRIED FATHER OF 2 and asking her friends to cover for her lies – yeah, she’s really a good person at heart! We should all be more like her, shouldn’t we…mmm, NO, I don’t think so! Then we have JimSlob – he may have more money than her first husband, but you have to look at how he makes his money – selling fake autographed baseballs that he was signing while he was trolling for a “Sexy Elegance”…What is going to happen when her funbags spring a leak and go south? Is JimSloblob going to go out looking for a newer model? After all, that is what she did, isn’t it? It’s late and I’m tired, so I’m not too funny right now…just a bit puzzled by these people and their abject worship of Alexis…
Ok everyone – I’m watching Ru Paul’s Drag Race on VH1 – there is a Lynne-lookalike! You should see Morgan McMichael – she is the SPITTING IMAGE OF LYNNE! OMG! Didn’t someone say earlier on that they thought that she was a tranny?!
The episode “Country Queens” has the women dress in their finest country couture and Morgan looks like Lynn! Go to Logoonline and catch the whole thing – it really is amusing!
Absolutely REVOLTING!!! All this proves is just that Alexis has always looked like a drag queen.
OMG you guys are right she does look like Becky Buckwild, I can’t stop laughing
Looking at these photos makes me ponder a sad phenomon I have seen repeatedly on the Real Housewives shows and elsewhere in the OC, mostly within the past 10 years. Plastic surgery offers the opportunity to skinny, very average looking girls to have huge breasts, augmeted tushies, remade faces, etc. I’ve seen quiet, nice, unassuming girls who have previously been the wallflowers without much of a social life, be thrust into the limelight and they don’t know how to handle it. Many of them don’t have the social skills to cope with tools (like JimBlob) and often hair flip their way to the showiest peacock. Just look at movies made in the 70′s or 80′s and you will see the stars and background gals, most of them fairly flat (natural). Compare to films today or a spring break documentary. All the girls have huge boobs (which they show off at every opportunity), perfect noses and blonde, extension enhanced hair. My point isn’t that people shouldn’t REFINE a feature or two – I’m all for that. But, girls like Heidi Montag and Alexis, are CHANGING entirely their physical appearance and don’t seem to realize personality and the person inside matters most. Guessing it won’t change – glad I grew up in the 70′s, when a good pair of platforms and pair of Jordache jeans were all you needed to be cool!
k-wow!
I hope you come back to post because your assessment of not just Alexis but the whole plastic-enhancement thing is so spot-on…
Seems to me that naturally beautiful girls tend to be on the flat side and average girls can tend to naturally large bust/great body – thus, Nature balances out the gene pool and presents a parity in the whole mating situation. No one has it all, in other words….
Plastic surgery, particularly breast enhancement, wrecks this natural equivalence and causes instability and can upend male expectations (which I think has happened).
Same with all the other crap going on – airbrushing, photoshopping, specific photography lighting and certain angles of posing, that sort of thing…
I don’t know about flat girls having better looks, but I must say that SoCal is the plastic surgery capital of the world. That means that ALOT of women in SoCal are having work done, and they aren’t all transplants.
Gretchen has had work done. She’s got cheekbone implants, probably some lipo and her eyes ARE NOT the color you see in pictures. The only reason she doesn’t have fake boobs is her upper body is so petite and her shoulders are so small, she would look totally ridiculous. She is an Anna Nicole through and through. An exhibitionist, loudmouth liar. It doesn’t surprise me that people think she was the beginning of the end of that show. She’s not a legitimate housewife, she has NO JOB, (even though she and her buddy Alexis claim they work) and is not self made.
When I compare people on the east coast esp. the tri-state area to the west coast, and I’ve spent alot of time in both areas, I see much less in the way of plastic surgery and enhancements on the east coast. There are alot of very attractive women there, esp. in NYC. People the likes of Lynn, Gretchen and Alexis would have a very difficult time fitting in w/ housewives in suburban areas in CT, NY or parts of NJ. They wouldn’t be taken seriously, to say the least. NJ gets a bad rap, but it’s improved alot over the years, just as NYC has.
hey puhp:
I agree with you re CT, NYC, & NJ – the women there would be able to “out” the RHOC in no time. Because the women on the EC have real money and assets as opposed to people like Lynne and Tamra, Gretchen (just on the financial edge) and bottom-feeders like Alexis.
Alexis would be rejected because she’s originally from “flyover country” and her personal history and background would get her marginalized as “aspirational”.
I was sent to private school in NY (my mom and nana are New Yorkers) so I have an idea of what goes down there as opposed to here in Cali.
Vicki would, imo, be an exception since she works and owns her own licensed business. although I know some viewers do not like her because of her treatment of Jeanna, its my understanding that fences have been mended, they are still neighbors, appeared together on Who Wants to be a Millionaire recently.
ii’m not seeing the cheek implants in Gretchen and believe me -I’ve seen several and its easy to tell when someone has them.
Kinda looks like a half-golf ball and many times one droops south of the other and there is asymmetry. Paula Abdul has cheek implants for example.
I’ve seen the pics of Gretchen and I think the differences are due to weight loss and a possible rhinoplasty. No boob implants though. Spray tan and highlights and makeover, yes for sure.
Scarlette & Puhp, I’m not sure about the cheek implants either, although I don’t think it’s totally out of the question. I DO think she had some of her back teeth removed to give her a slimmer look in the face. Other “celebrities” have done it in the past — and she might even have had her bottom ribs removed. I think that’s what’s giving her that gaunt look. Demi Moore did it too. It gives a slimmer waistline.
Hey Lizzie
Yep, I’ve actually had that done – had all of my third molars (wisdom teeth) removed – not for cosmetic reasons but because they were growing in impacted.
Anyways doing so creates definition there under the cheekbones and makes the cheekbones look higher. (Hope I’m being understood here).
Scarlette, Puhp, RT, et el, Thank you for contributing to a forum that doesn’t hide behind being “PC”. I know my comments, and presume others made here, are not to be catty and cut down others, but more as a commentary on the sadness of much of what is expected and accepted by society as a whole. So many well written, articulate blurbs – not to mention downright hilarious spot-on “what were you thinking” ones. It almost seems to bring credibility to the guilty, vapid pleasure of watching these shows!!
I’ve never had wisdom teeth (does that explain anything????) but I know others who’ve had to have them removed. A few of the plastic surgery addicts have also had the molars in front of the wisdom teeth removed to give that cheek definition.
Personally, I think anyone who has cosmetic surgery done has a few fried brain cells. I’ve had my share of necessary surgeries in my life, and I’m not a fan of that pain. It takes a pretty twisted pretzel to do that for sh!ts and giggles!
@scarlette 14..Have only read until now and must comment on your post….You go chickie…D-A-M-N!!!! Love how you cleared that up with a snazzy bow on top to boot!! Well said(thunderous applause..clap, clap) Kudos..Kudos! You’re the best! Take a bow sweets!:)
Hi Eva,
You gotta love Scarlette..SHE’S A HOOT!
I learn so much from you guys! Thanks for clueing me in on the possible plastic surgeries. I am a country girl from Texas and as long as women aren’t from the BIG CITY(Dallas/Houston/Austin) than you rarely see any plastic surgery.
What I have seen soooo much of are the Botox Bimbos! Holy hell, why do so many people think it’s a good look?!?! Grow old gracefully. I do agree that if you want a nosejob or you want a slight touchup that is cool but most people you would not recognize after all that crap!
I think Alexis has a “butter face”.
Her body is ok “but her face” is fugly!
Hi there Dyana! Scarlette is so much fun and she always backs it up with facts! You’re quite a hoot yourself..”flava, flav!” lol I love this board, so many great replies..puhp, Lizzie, Tootsie, Gabby, and k-wow too! The Bravo board only allows sugar coated comments which annoys me so!! grrr..I am so glad I found this board to read the comments of how and what we really think…and to also comment on what we KNOW!…Also lol at the “barbell dilemma!” Confused me to, then…LMAO!! xoxo
Scarlette & Lizzie: part of the reason I think she has the implants is you don’t see any pictures of her when she was young out in cyberspace. I’ve only seen one in which her face looked really flat. I’ve seen some bad cheek implants (Loni Anderson) and some good ones. I think Heidi Montag got them as well. I don’t think it’s fat injections and time will tell when her face is no longer swollen.
I don’t have anything against plastic surgery for older women who want to feel better about themselves, or younger ones that want to improve a feature that they are self conscious about. I think when it’s done on someone as young as Heidi, it makes them look worse and older. Men often look more like women after they’ve had work done.
I agree that Vicki would be the only one with a chance of taken seriously on the EC. She is pretty unrefined and pretentious though, so she wouldn’t have a chance fitting in with people who have real money, influence and power. They fly under the radar in their communities and avoid scandal at all costs. Ex. the way she freaked out when she saw the bird turd on the head of the waitress, the way she told Donn how many carats his ring was when they were exchanging vows, the way she reacted to Alexass spitting out her bite of foie gras…. she’s a bit of a redneck.
Hi puhp…as much as I want to like Vicki and admire her for all her hard work, she always seems to ruin the moment by simply opening her mouth. “Foot-in-Mouth” syndrome…constantly! She reminds me of Jim-bob sometimes…almost that they feel an unnecessary need to tell the camera(us) what they’ve spent. So classy, eh? Um no..not so much.
Hey puhp..also can I coin you phrase Alexass?…lmao Just precious!
I agree Eva, they both try too hard. Probably b/c they’re not used to having any money. The way Vicki wouldn’t accept the ring Donn gave her was kind of odd too. Granted, it was a big ass masculine pimp ring, but she should have kept the damn thing on her hand for a little while, even if it was 3 sizes too big.
I found the picture of Gretchen I was talking about, interested in feedback…. http://thedirty.com/2009/03/20/the_real_gretchen_rossi_before_the_golddigging_/
On an entirely different note, I love the nicknames people have come up w/ for Jumbo. I wanted to compile a top 10 list, but don’t have enough. Here are some of the best ones so far, if anyone thinks of more, be sure to post them.
5. Jimslob
4. Jimblob
3, Kartman
2. Taliban Jim
1. Earth Jesus YEAH!!!
Hey puhp…took a look @pic link you posted….my thought is this was taken in her teens, and she pretty much looks like an older (thinner)Gretchen would. I’m sure she probably had rhinoplasty but I really don’t see much difference. JMO. BTW the last post was to say “your.” I lovvvee that name! You’re a treat!!…My favorite Jim nicknames are 1.Taliban Jim and 2.Earth Jesus YEAH! lol
My apologies to Babs, but did anyone else feel like Alexass (thanks Puhp!!) was trying to channel Barbra Streisand on the Watch What Happens video call in?? Maybe it was the over-lined eyes or the sparkley white Wet N’ Wild eyeshadow, or the way she kept ticking her hair or the lighting???
Eva: I don’t think she’s had rhinoplasty, but if so it blows her whole ‘natural’ claim. I don’t buy it for a minute. Also Lizzie came up w/ Alexass and I think Rhonda came up w/ Earth Jesus (period)
Hi Eva,
Yep you gotte love Scarlette,puhp, Lizzie, Tootsie. k-wow, help me rhonda, and a list of others that I can’t remeber right now. Their comments are so good,and funny and like you said Scarlette always backs it up with facts. I love this board also,yay R.T.!
OMG, I can’t believe these pics. Although not surprised at all.
Did any of you guys read Gilmore’s http://www.prettyontheoutside.com blog/recap of last week’s show? It’s too funny, but he hits the nail right on the head! I love reading his recaps of the Real Housewives of OC shows.
Go read it, if you have time and tell me what you think. His drawings fo the wives are hysterical too.
WTF – I went to this site after the last mention (you??) and LMFAO!! I would vote for David for president and many on this site as his constituents. Could you imagine most of our politicians being able to state the facts/analize them as this brilliant writer does? He also reminded me how much I hate that lavender dealio Alexis wears in the confessional. Looks like something she made in Home Ec class and should have tossed!!
WTF.
Gilmore is a genius,he is freakin’ hysterical! Love his drawings , he is unbelievable.
Just goes to show how blonde hair can improve someone’s looks quite a bit. Who knew she had all that junk in tha trunk???!!!!
Awfulplasticsurgery.com has a new posting up on Alexis and the Maxim pics:
http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/2010/02/22/wow-alexis-bellino-had-the-total-face-makeover
According to them (awfulplasticsurgery has experts assess the photos and determine what’s been done) Alexass (t/y puhp!) has had quite the surgeries.
Anyway, Alexass’ Hometown is Hannibal, Missouri, not La Jolla, CA.
Lets face it, we all disagree about what we accept as facts, but I think one thing we can all agree upon is this: Without the butt lipo and breast implants, Alexass would be considered average at best. I don’t know if Maxim actually published those pics but I doubt it. Her outfits were totally outdated for 2003.
Why am I not surprised she’s a Madonna fan?
Yep, puhp you are so correct – Alexass is just average.
Nothing wrong with being average though.
Its just making oneself out to be something completely different like Alexass is doing that is troubling and k-wow put it so well.
OMG, That girl had a Kardashian ass, where did it go?
Lipo???
I guess that much ass didn’t scream classy elegance for big Jim B.
I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW!!!!!!
She had all that butt fat taken out and injected into her lips! That’s how she went from junk-in-the-trunk to foghorn leghorn lips!
Oops!
Sorry if I missed this in a previous post but looking at Alexis’ flat tummy (insert jealous sigh) in the before and after on AwfulPlasticSurgery made me ponder. In the episode at La Perla, I believe it was Lynne, after finding out Alexis had 3 kids, who asked if she had a surrogate. Alexis never answered. . . was there ever any discussion on this point??
Someone mentioned the surrogate thing a while back but it never got discussed. I’m certain AlexASS didn’t birth those kids. She has absolutely no connection with them at all.
I wonder whether the “nannies” are the birth mothers? It would explain why AlexASS and Jumpin’ Jiminy feel so comfortable leaving all the child-rearing to the nannies.
