Meet Rumored New RHOC Housewife Lydia Stirling McLaughlin!

by Lauren on November 23rd, 2012

Is there a new addition to the Real Housewives of Orange County? Tamra Barney recently posted some pictures on Twitter of her bachelorette weekend where she was accompanied by Gretchen Rossi, Heather Dubrow, Vicki Gunvalson (didn't see that one coming!), and a mystery brunette.

Now there is speculation that said mystery brunette could be a new cast member. Her name is Lydia Stirling McLaughlin, and she's a thirty-one-year-old heiress, business woman, and mother of two with ties to both Heather Dubrow and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Lisa Vanderpump.

RHOC’s Gretchen Rossi Secures Restraining Order Against Jay Photoglou

by Lauren on November 20th, 2012

Oh good gracious, I don't even know where to begin. It's absolutely amazing to me how all of the housewives from every last franchise are able to keep their names in the media when their shows are on hiatus. You'd think they'd appreciate the break!

This time around, we've got Gretchen Rossi from Real Housewives of Orange County scoring a restraining order against former boyfriend/alleged stalker (depending on you believe) Jay Photoglou. In the lawsuit Gretchen waged against Jay for slander, stalking, assault, and infliction of emotional distress, the jury believed the latter, awarding Gretchen $500,000 in damages. I bet Tamra Barney feels pretty stupid now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when she and Gretchen were on the outs, didn't Tamra and Jay have each other on speed dial to share juicy Gretchen gossip?

Tamra Barney Celebrates Her Bachelorette Party In Puerto Vallarta With Vicki Gunvalson! Plus, PHOTO: New RHOC Season 8 Housewife!

by Mary on November 19th, 2012

Awwww… apparently all is hunky dory with the ladies of Real Housewives of Orange County. I'm sure that has absolutely nothing to do with filming for season 8 happening, does it?

This weekend Tamra Barney (who may or may not be getting married to Eddie Judge on the show) headed to Puerto Vallarta for her bachelorette party weekend!

Surprisingly, attending the festivities was former BFF, turned season-7-nemesis, Vicki Gunvalson. The girls who are also business partners courtesy of Wines by Wives seemed to have patched things up. I wonder if that has something to do with Vicki reportedly ending things with serial-scammer and lover of all things Hallmark, Brooks Ayers?

Gretchen Rossi Wins $500,000 Slander Lawsuit Against Jay Photoglou!

by Mary on November 16th, 2012

Aaaahhh… the saga of Gretchen Rossi and Jay Photoglou. A tale that of who's sleazier, if I've ever heard one.

In round 500 between the maybe lovers/maybe not (despite the heavy dose of incriminating photos), the Real Housewives of Orange County star won a $500,000 defamation suit against her ex after he told the world she was cheating on dying fiance Jeff Beitzel and maybe, possibly never even really his fiance to begin with as it was an elaborate ruse to land a spot on RHOC.

Well, first Jay sued Gretchen for defamation and won. And then she sued him back and won. The jury also awarded Gretchen $23,250 in punitive damages according to TMZ. Can we just call it even with these two already? I mean Gretchen's already moved onto another loser…

Vicki Gunvalson Returning for Season 8 of RHOC!

by Lauren on November 6th, 2012

I'm curious as to whether ladies in the housewives franchise ever just want to go back to a simpler, obscure neighborhood existence. Most of them love to complain about how poorly they are portrayed on various seasons, yet they return for more toxic drama.

Of course, I'm not complaining. Sometimes it's hilarious to watch grown women wearing skintight clothing and gaudy jewelry scream at each other and spew insults, and no one does it better than the original ladies of the O.C. Real Housewives of Orange County has just started filming its eighth season, and rumor has it that the longest running housewife Vicki Gunvalson will be back!

RHOC’s Gretchen Rossi Updates on Slade’s Son; Grayson’s Mom Calls Son “Good Little Soldier”

by Lauren on October 12th, 2012

As we reported the other day, Grayson, the son of Real Housewives of Orange County's Slade Smiley, underwent brain surgery for a tumor hes been battling for years. Many of our readers were upset that Gretchen Rossi was Facebooking the status of Grayson's surgery. Unless you've been living under a rock, you know how tense things are between Slade and Grayson's mother as he claims he can't afford to pay child support or help with their son's mounting medical bills.

While Gretchen was asking for prayers for Grayson from her fans, many wondered how Grayson's mother would feel about her updating the world on her boyfriend's son. I think she's more interested in her son's well-being and sharing how you can donate to help pay his bills than to worry about Gretchen.

PHOTOS: Reality TV Stars Worst Red Carpet Looks!

by Mary on October 10th, 2012

Reality TV is known for its sensational fashion – and I don't mean sensational in a good way! I mean like, 'dressing in the dark, I bought this on clearance at Forever 21, and oops my boobs fell out' fashions.

Below are some of my least favorite red carpet fashion moments. You have been warned – these are searing, unflattering, and really, really gobsmackingly ugly.

20/20 Issues Retraction In Brooks Ayers’ Deadbeat Dad Accusation! Slade Smiley’s Son Has Surgery

by Lauren on October 10th, 2012

Guess what guys? Brooks Ayers is not a deadbeat dad. I repeat, Brooks Ayers is not a deadbeat dad. The love tank filler of Real Housewives of Orange County's Vicki Gunvalson wants to clear up some things for us.

If you recall, 20/20 did a report on Brooks where they claimed that he wasn't paying anything for his son with ex-girlfriend Nicolette Catanzarite and hadn't visited his son since he was 5 or 6 months old. Furthermore, Nicolette claimed that she had no clue of Brooks' whereabouts until he showed up on RHOC! Well, now the news program is setting the record straight thanks to ol' Brooks.
