Sneaky and acidic, Bethenny has something to say about everything and everyone, disguised in little witticisms. On her Bravo blog, or, as I call it, Disclaimer Central, she pretends to like Jill’s apartment.  Bethenny, we all know Liberace is dead. Jill’s apartment is psycho-crazy.

It makes sense.  Jay was obviously not invited, and before his boat was repo’ed, he hung out at Lake Havasu with his River Dave crowd.  A comment from a ranter: “Jay is disgusting and there’s no way Gretchen has/had anything to do with him. we were at Bass Lake when they were there… she didn’t give him the time of day. he followed after her like a lost puppy dog.

By haireality(noreply@blogger.com) I have no idea if he was "really" rich, but I do know Gretchen tried to rent a Coto house from a friend of mine last summer. Gretchen told my friend she "was cast as the newest housewife on The Real Housewives of Orange County and the show was going to pay for her to rent a house in Coto for a few months so they could pretend she was living there." Photoglou claimed that he was living with Gretchen in Costa Mesa. But, photoglou says he moved out since Gretchen was going out with - you guessed it - Slade Smiley! Ah, love. Poor Gretchen. Her new "rich" guy ends up in the slammer. At least Slade has "reality" TV. Only now the show is called "Date My Ex-Con."   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (haireality) Smiley, 40, was arrested Friday by Costa Mesa police on a $10,000 outstanding civil contempt warrant. Smiley, who lived a lavish Coto de Caza lifestyle with former flame Jo De La Rosa, was released from Orange County jail Saturday morning after posting $10,000 bail. Phil Viardo of Viardo Artists, who represents Smiley, said the reality star did not know about the warrant until he was arrested Friday afternoon.

By haireality(noreply@blogger.com) Mr.. Jeff Zucker NBC Studios I am writing to you in regard to one of your Bravo TV shows, The Real Housewives of Orange County. I realize this show was created to stir up controversy and spike the ratings. I understand that and I understand “reality TV”. Once a fan of Bravo’s different and higher end programming, I found myself drawn into the Real Housewives of Orange County because I live in OC and am in that same age group. Of course it got my curiosity. In short, someone needs to take a serious look at what the likes of a Tamra Barney says about YOU and YOUR network. Ms. Vicki Gunvalson is another story, but I don’t believe she’s nearly as damaging in general as this travesty that monikers herself “the Hottest Housewife in Orange County”.   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (haireality) “I lived with Gretchen in Costa Mesa. And was living out of a suitcase with a friend when I left because she was going to dinner with Slade. When I went to pick up more clothes on Wed Feb 18th Slades car was in the driveway. I know Gretchen well so I called the police dept to do a civil asst and help me recover some more clothes. I had proper identification to be there so they attempted to get Slade or Gretchen to open the door. No response from them so when I told them I have a way to get in the dispatcher recieved a call from Slade saying he was with Gretchen and they were in Vegas. Slade called a recorded line to lie to the police. He also told the dispatcher that a neighbor called him to say the police were there. So that is why he called. So I proceeded to enter the house...   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (haireality) In the hands of a novelist or playwright, this would be one of Those Moments, in which the small tap of a simple question shatters the brittle facade of social convention and reveals the true nature of things. Marriage or money, the bitter complications of love or the irreducible chasm between expectation and reality. Instead, the conversation quickly devolves into a petty power play, suffocated by a narcissism so dense you would think it was made of Spanx. Vicki Gunvalson, Jeana Keough and Tamra Barney all advise Gretchen Rossi to get on that beneficiary list before it's too late, because that's what they'd do. When Lynne Curtin disagrees, Vicki accuses her of being rude and confrontational.'   [read the full post]

By haireality Forums Blowing Up! Bravo's latest foray into the world of The Real Housewives takes us to Atlanta. This series begins on October 7, but Bravo has shown the preview several times. The two most popular forums, FORT and TWOP, (owned by Bravo) have posters weighing in on this series. Here are a few examples: "People who have class would not participate in a Real Housewives of anything, so I don't care if it's white girls from the OC, black girls from Atlanta, or spoiled rich kids selling real estate. Bring on the materialism, bring on the attention-whoring, bring on the bad behavior, the cat fights, the excessive jewelry, fake relationships, over-the-top clothes, out-of-budget spending...that's what I watch these shows for.""

Slade looks like he is auditioning for a stint on Celebrity Rehab or Intervention. Slade looks at Zack as if  he wants to be in Jo's place. He seemed to resist licking his lips on camera, however.  "Cheeks",  as the johns nickname Zack, has the first date. Myia and Slade watch as Zack takes Jo on a photo shoot. They have reality tv "chemistry".  Afterward, they have dessert, though Jo's dress looks like it will burst open with one bite.    [read the full post]

This guy , Tyler, takes her out shooting lessons. No, I won't be absolutely mean here, let's just say no one as taken out of their misery. After all, Tyler thinks a girl with a gun is "hot".
