There have been several rumors regarding season 5’s Real Housewives of New Jersey but I have the 411 on what’s really going on through my New Jersey connects! Looks like the filming will begin next week and as I’ve reported everyone has been asked to return! Teresa’s friends will also be appearing on this season but not as an official housewife!
RHOC star Gretchen Rossi is laughing all the way to the bank because she just won half a million dollars in a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend who she previously sued for defamation! Back in 2010, Gretchen sued her ex Jay Photoglou for defamation and they have been back and forth in court ever since! Jay allegedly told Tamra Barney that she was lying about her relationship to her fiance who passed away Jeff Beitzel
Last week the Real Housewives of Miami confronted Karent but of course she somehow took the heat off of herself and it became a fight between Joanna and Adriana who fake-apologized to each other only to get the hell out of there. Let’s see what happens after that when all the ladies come back together.
Lea is hanging out with Mama Elsa who shares her story of when she confronted Elaine and threatened to hit her with a pocketbook if she did not stop gossiping about Marysol. This scene is entirely too hilarious and here’s why: Mama Elsa was oblivious to the fact that Elaine is also James! Lea goes into a Drag Queen 101 lesson with Mama Elsa, who ends up “mentally disturbed.” I died. Seriously, this woman makes this entire show, and she’s not even a Housewife.
Joanna is playing video games with Romain when Marta comes into the high rise condo. She is moving back in after being at Lisa’s for a bit and Joanna is excited because now she gets to torment her again. Joanna and Marta both enjoyed their time away. Marta was able to be away from the drama and Joanna says she got to bond with Romain. Right off the bat, Romain and Marta start to bicker but Joanna insists they are all good now. The two get ready for a shoe fashion show that Lisa Pliner is organizing.
All of Miami’s finest are invited to the fashion show, including the Housewives. Karent is seeing all the ladies for the first time since the dinner, but she slaps on her smile and insists she is totally fine. Marysol’s transgender model friend Lauren Foster is also there and she hates Elaine. Elaine arrives and tells Lea she is going to confront Marysol because Lisa Pliner told him that Marysol tried to keep her from hiring Elaine to host this shoe fashion show. Lea asks Elaine not to cause any drama, but Elaine is not having it because she is over Marysol trying to mess with her livelihood.
Ana tries to come to her friend Marysol’s defense and says Marysol would never! However, Lisa Pliner puts her on blast and says Marysol in fact told her not to hire Elaine for the fashion show because she would charge her. Elaine is pissed and gives Marysol a tongue lashing, calling her a liar for denying all of this. Marysol walks away, and Elaine follows her to chew her out some more. Lauren Foster chimes in and it’s a huge drag queen, tranny mess plus Marysol. Elaine is on the runway hosting the fashion show and Marysol just sits there looking quite flustered. Hmmmm…at this point it seems like Marysol feels guilty. Also, I understand Elaine is a “friend” of the Housewives character but can she tone it down a little bit?
Adriana and her fiance go check out the progress of her boat – which she said in the season premiere she wants to live on. Side note: why is she wearing a GIANT fruit roll-up?! The boat still looks like a damn wreck. Adriana says if the boat is ready, she might hear some wedding bells. You know, the things that make a marriage happen – boats! This is boring but luckily it’s a short scene.
Karent is at her office and she has organized a dinner party at that guy Thomas Kramer’s house. She wants all the ladies to get to know the real her and love her for who she is, so she invites all of them. Obviously this is code for, ‘everyone hates me, but we need to make this event that was set up for filming somehow tie into the plot’.
Karent arrives at Thomas’s who is in an apron with a fake penis on it. I can’t. He is so repulsive and sets the mood for what’s to come at this dinner party. Mama Elsa arrives and finally something good is happening again! She is pure gold. The rest of the girls show up and the Thomas ass kissing begins, primarily from thirsty Karent. UGH. She is so desperate and it’s just annoying already. Mama Elsa even thinks that Karent is Thomas’s mistress because of how much she is all over him.
It’s dinner time. The table has a stripper pole installed. So classy, but let’s be real, I want this table at my house. Joanna invites ALL the women to a trip to Bimini. Ah, the mandatory Housewives seasonal trip! Adriana is shocked at the invite, but she’s under contract so she has to go. Adriana thanks Joanna for her invite and is willing to go so they could work their issues out. Marysol says she does not want Elaine/James to go on this trip, and refuses to work anything out because she was never friends with her/him, so who cares? Lea gets pissed off. Here we go…
Lea confronts Marysol about lying regarding Elaine’s drama. Ana comes to Marysol’s defense and gets worked up. Thomas Kramer rings his bell at her like she’s an animal and asks her to shut up. Ana tells him to piss off, basically. Marysol says not a word, and Ana is upset that she isn’t coming to her defense. Thomas makes misogynist comments and Ana leaves because she is actually smart and won’t sit through this crap. She says she will not be like everyone else and bow down to Thomas just because he’s wealthy and important in Miami’s inner circle. GO ANA!
Romain has a meeting all of a sudden so he left before dinner. Sounds super sketchy. Thomas blurts out what we are all thinking, ‘so is Romain cheating on you, Joanna?! I mean he works in a night club with all sorts of gorgeous women!’ SOFT SPOT. Joanna gets pissed immediately and I don’t blame her, because Thomas was way out of line to comment on her personal life. The feisty Polish is now pissed off. She follows Ana and wants to go home, because she doesn’t feel comfortable. She comes back to the table and tells Thomas not to insult her fiance’s hard work like that!
Adriana says Thomas is not a bad person, he’s just misunderstood! By misunderstood she means he’s so rich so we should all kiss his ass. Lea says Ana should leave if she feel so uncomfortable. Karent also backs Thomas because she would never ruin her rep with someone so praised. Lea continues to rant about how Thomas is so gracious and no one should bash him in his own house. Define “gracious”, Lea. Elsa tries to calm Lea down, and Thomas blows up on her! He yells at Elsa to not talk to his guests like that and asks her to leave if she will act like that. This is such a mess. All these ladies claim to be friends of his for all these years and now they’re being kicked out. Elsa joins Ana outside on the curb of kicked out people.
The episode ends with Ana talking to Marysol outside. Ana is upset that Marysol did not defend her. Ana feels very offended by all of Thomas’s inappropriate comments and thinks Marysol needs to start sticking up for herself first, and that’s why she doesn’t stand up for her friends. Back at the dinner, flawless Lisa starts pole dancing to diffuse the drama, but it might have been too late for that.
Thoughts on the Miami dinner party from hell? Do you think Marysol should have stood up for Ana? Is Elaine being over dramatic or is Marysol really at fault? Let’s discuss!
Typically, divorce brings a couple to a split, at least romantically, but for Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes – it did the complete opposite. This season on RHOA, NeNe is seen hanging out with Gregg who is trying to win her back, and NeNe not resisting, so what happened that made her give him a shot?
NeNe reveals to Wetpaint that divorcing Gregg was actually perfect for the two of them because it kept them from fighting and brought them back together as friends. NeNe says, “We have divorced, so there is nothing else to argue about. Ha! When you’re married, you argue over certain things, once we got divorced, literally there was nothing else to argue about. I think we became good friends again. It was during our marriage, we had gotten to a place where we weren’t friends anymore. We almost got to a place where we didn’t like each other.”
NeNe says we have to watch this season to see what ends up happening between them! I personally think that they are still…dating, and will eventually remarry, but who knows, they might have already passed that step. Do you think NeNe and Gregg plan to marry again?
Uh Oh! These women just don’t know when to stop bashing one another! Kim Zolciak recently opened up to US weekly about The Real Housewives of Atlanta and reveals that her priorities have now changed! Kim says, “My priorities have changed. With these ladies I fell like nine times out of 10, there’s going to be an argument. They’re not happy for me. They’re not supportive.” Kim also had a few things to say about NeNe, “She has an anger problem. And she is jealous.”
In this sneak peek footage from next week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, newest housewife Yolanda Hadid begins getting bothered by Taylor Armstrong for two things. She’s drunk and keeps bad mouthing Brandi Glanville! See what Taylor says below!
RHOBH star Lisa Vanderpump took to her blog to talk about Monday’s episode. She starts off by saying she doesn’t understand why Kyle is saying one thing to Adrienne and another behind her back. Lisa also calls out Taylor for bashing Brandi! Check it out below!
Renee Graziano entered a 30-day rehab treatment in Miami last month in search of improving her physical, mental and spiritual health while Mob Wives season three filmed. Now, the treatment is over and the reality star took straight to a pampering session to celebrate the new chapter in her life.

On the season two reunion of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Adrienne Maloof made accusations that Lisa sold stories to the press about her cast mates and now she is claiming that Brandi does the same!
A few weeks ago Brandi blamed Adrienne for planting a story that claimed Brandi was dating a RHOBH producer in order to get more airtime, and now Adrienne is fighting back saying that Brandi plants these negative stories on her own only to place the blame back on Adrienne!
Examiner asked Adrienne what she thought of Brandi placing such blame on her, and she replied, “Honestly, I heard it came from her camp. There’s been a habit of setting up situations and then it comes from her camp, but blames me. She’s notorious for that. I don’t have that kind of time. She’s got to have a lot of time on her hands to do that. All the mean-girl stuff she’s done to me, her and Lisa, I think it’s fair to say people see her as being mean-spirited at times. I am sorry to hear she’s not feeling well, though.”
Adrienne is making some serious accusations here. As far as I recall, this is the only instance of this happening so I wonder what Adrienne is talking about by saying Brandi has a “habit” of doing this to her. Do you believe Brandi plants negative stories just to blame Adrienne? Adrienne accused Lisa of selling stories to the press about her fellow cast mates on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She also claimed that Brandi does the same.
Brandi accused Adrienne of planting a story that suggested Brandi was dating a RHOBH producer in order to gain more airtime on the show.
Adrienne stated that she heard the blame came from Brandi’s camp and that Brandi has a habit of setting up situations and then blaming Adrienne. She also mentioned that Brandi has been mean-spirited towards her and Lisa. However, Adrienne expressed concern for Brandi’s well-being despite their conflicts.
This week’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills featured Taylor Armstrong snubbing Brandi Glanville at Portia’s birthday party, leaving Brandi anxious and leaving the party early to avoid drama. Taylor is speaking out about the incident, saying she tried talking with Brandi prior to filming and Brandi shut her down, so now she isn’t going to pursue any resolution because she has bigger things to focus on!
Taylor writes in her Bravo blog:
There were many strong personalities present that day and certainly bad vibes between some of us. My relationship with Brandi became strained during the reunion last year and it has created tension that is in need of resolution.
I find it unbelievable that she behaves as if she is anxious about seeing me. She stared this and I have tried to move on since the reunion. I saw her at Sur one evening and suggested we move past our differences, she was unwilling and unkind for that matter. I have more important things to deal with at this point in the season. I have unresolved feelings about a couple of other people in our group that need to be addressed first and my conflict-avoiding personality can only handle one situation at a time. But we will get to that one soon enough.
Was Taylor right to ignore Brandi since she refused to resolve things with Taylor in the past?
