This season of OC has been lukewarm at best. The Mexico drunkness was hilarious and Vicki's girl code violation has been driving the plot for most of the season but apart from that nothing has really happened. I love the new girls and the core four are all stars in their own right so this season should be one of the best but it's taken longer to get started than a fucked up car from the 80s that a teenager has spent all their savings on from their endless shifts at McDonald's, but surely no children in Orange County will ever know that struggle.

I'm not even sure why this season isn't good because the cast is amazing, we've had a cast trip, a conflict and numerous group scenes together but it just seems like everyone is passing the time because they know they have to film together. Gina and Emily don't seem to have any genuine relationship with any of the ladies but they all continue to grab dinner together and have small talk. I want this season to work out more than Tristan Thompson wants to fuck anything that isn't Khloe Kardashian because OC is the mother of the Housewives empire and I don't know if I can take another cast shakeup. I know this season isn't Peggy Sulahian bad but it isn't Miss Roper good either. However, all the shit talking in this episode provided me with hope because it has to get back to Emily at some point.

We started with Shannon in the middle of her QVC photoshoot which of course sparked her weight insecurity. Shannon may be the only size eight in Orange County but that's okay, she looks healthy and better than she has before, everyone has weight problems but I'm sure there's a line of guys who can afford her lifestyle and would love to see her naked, not everyone can look like Tamra Judge and live off a diet of lettuce and cardboard in their fifties. Along with her weight, Shannon was also nervous because it's her first ever photo shoot? Really Shannon? What about the numerous ones you've done for this show every year, I'm assuming Shannon doesn't just take a selfie and send it over to the producers to use for press. I love Shannon and her QVC fish, but she's not fooling anyone.

After the shoot Kelly, Tamra and Emily stopped by and coincidentally it was National Blowjob and Snake Day, but the two go hand in hand. Out of the six women on this show I'm sure four of them would've celebrated the annual holiday because Vicki loves sex, the Mormon probably wants a blowjob when we want one (unless oral sex is against the Mormon code of conduct), if the Milkman, his Mexican food fetish, muscly legs and short shorts were in OC on the given day I'm sure Kelly obliged and Eddie should be getting some extra attention because of his broken heart but he can't get his heart rate up too high, so I'm on the fence about that one. Aside from those OC couples and whichever flavour of the week Gina's husband is with in his LA apartment on that particular day, I don't think anyone else honoured the holiday.

After Shannon and Kelly got rid of their controlling husbands the show obviously became void of the Simon Barney, David Beador, Jim Bellino and Brooks Ayers types so naturally, the producers have cast Emily's Mormon husband Shane in that role, I just guess this show can't function without one of the women having an oppressive husband, the ladies shitting on someone else's marriage every year and comparing their husband to their shitty exes until she gets a divorce and becomes a second phase liberated Housewife. As entertaining as it is to watch we really need a spin-off show called "The Real Cunts of Orange County," with Simon, David, Jim, Brooks, Slade and Michael can be a friend of because he's not that memorable anyway. The Cunts can hold literal shit instead of oranges and sit around acting like the controlling, misogynistic assholes they are and let the world ridicule them for it like how they ridiculed their ex-wives for having a good time with their friends instead of being their slave.

I like Emily but her marriage is questionable at best. Obviously, through the magic of editing we only see him yelling at Gina and talking about his hatred of old cackling women when he may actually be nice, who knows, but being a Mormon he's already predisposed to being a stick in the mud. If he can't gamble, swear, drink, smoke, watch porn, drink coffee or gave a little gay sex from time to time then it would be weird if he was happy, no wonder he's angry. Fresh off the heels of the rumours about Eddie I don't want to accuse anyone of being anything but if he's Mormon, she wanted a baby and they got married after a message on Google Chat then there's definitely something else there, but the lack of tobacco and coffee make his teeth super white, so there's one positive from being a Mormon. Also, major side note: if his family is Mormon, why did they participate in a poker night for Emily's first televised party on the show?

The dumb fight between Emily and Gina is still going because both the Mormon and Gina believe the other owes them an apology after Tamra and her meddling ways really got this beef started and that's not shade to Tamra Judge in any way because without her mouth spreading (semi) accurate information through the group nothing would happen on this show. Tamra's mouth is a guiding light for this show. This is just an awkward weird fight, he yelled at her from downstairs off camera so there's major questionable doubt surrounding what really happened but Emily is trying to pass it off as a funny "haha, my husband kicked her out lol" while Gina spilled the tea that Emily actually apologised for the Mormon being a dick but is now covering for him on TV. This feud is dumb, he was an asshole, Gina was tipsy and I'm not sure why this non-issue is still being talked about so much. Emily shouldn't have to have her first beef be about her covering for her annoying husband's behaviour.

Candiace Dillard is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Candiace Dillard shares her thoughts on all the drama that went down on Part 2 reunion taping and reflects on her first season on The Real Housewives of Potomac.

Bravotv.com: What were you thinking when Chris asked about the EveryHue card?
Candiace Dillard: My huuuusband has always had great comedic timing! I was cracking up when he asked about the Hue card! What’s better is, it doesn’t really matter what color it is, it’s alllll mine!

Bravotv.com: What do you think about his response toAndy Cohen asking about your “lowering your expectations on life” comment?
CD: I think Chris handled the question well. I honestly resent that the question was posed that way because I never insinuated that I had lowered my standards, only that I needed to make an adjustment in the future I saw for myself. EVERY young woman walks (or should) into a relationship with goals. I am no different. I would also venture to say that no woman in her right mind would willingly volunteer to fall in love with a divorced father of three. Again, I was no different. We all want the “ideal” situation for ourselves, myself included. Being with a divorcee with children is work. There are elements of drama. It’s not always the smoothest transition. And this is on top of managing the general challenges of being in a regular relationship. The beauty of our lives together is that Chris and I work daily and diligently to find balance in all of it — the good, the bad and the dramatic.

Bravotv.com: What did you think about this exchange between Ray, Karen Huger, and Michael.
CD: I was honestly disgusted and supremely taken aback at Michaels behavior toward Karen and Ray. Where I was raised, a man wouldn’t dare address another man’s wife in the disrespectful and denigrating fashion Michael chose to. It speaks to character and lack of tact and I was blown away. Chris and I both said afterward that we regret that neither of us spoke up on Karen and Ray’s behalf in the moment. We were both just so shocked and didn’t want to insert ourselves unnecessarily into another couple's personal affairs. Hopefully, Michael has learned his lesson as the Hugers won that war effortlessly.

Bravotv.com: Tell us about the moment you broke down at the end of the episode talking about the sisterhood – what made you shed a few tears?
CD: Siiiighhhh. How did I make it ALL the way to the end of the reunion without shedding one (personal) tear only to blow it?! I was honestly so emotional from witnessing Karen’s breakdown about her parents and then Monique Samuels’s break down about losing her baby that by the time I was reviewing the whole evening in my final thoughts, I was a mess! Sitting on that couch with those women and reviewing the ebbs and flows of the season with all of the ladies, I just realized how grateful I was for the experience and for the friendships. I really connected with Karen and Monique and will forever be grateful for their kindness to me in coming into this crazy group. They really had my back, and I theirs. I just appreciated at that moment that we were all together and we had made it to the end!

Bravotv.com: What are your final thoughts on the season?
CD: If I had to sum up the season in one word: WHEW.
I purposely entered into this very unique and special experience with no expectations. I wanted to be a sponge and take it all in. I wanted to allow room for seeds to be planted, watered and for friendships to grow organically. As we all saw, some seeds flourished beautifully into friendships and others are still stuck in the ground, honey (lol). As I look over it all, though, I have no regrets because for better or for worse, Candiace was Candiace fully and completely. I’m proud of myself for standing my ground when I did, for listening and growing when it was necessary. And most of all, I’m proud that I was able to challenge not only myself but the whole of this group of amazing women to be open to someone new: she may have been a little different, a little more colorful, a little louder and a little more emotional at times but she was present! She was fabulous! And she has no regrets :)

Gizelle Bryant is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Gizelle Bryant weighs in on the drama between the Hugers versus the Darbys and opens up about her ongoing feud with Monique Samuels.

Bravotv.com: On your relationship - What do you think about Charrisse Jackson Jordan saying that you’re like Katie and Andrew? Where are you with Sherman now?
Gizelle Bryant: Charrisse comparing anything I do or say to Katie and Andrew is weird. I don't ever recall sitting around dreaming to be married. I am fully aware of how much work it takes to be in a happy marriage and I don't know if I'm ever going to sign up for that again. Sherman and I are one day at a time.

Bravotv.com: Onto the Kyndall situation – what do you think about Monique Samuels’s response to accusations about bringing Kyndall around and her reaction to you asking for an apology? Do you believe her regret about park after dark?
GB: Monique only regretted talking about Sherman after social media (the only thing she cares about) let her HAVE IT. They trashed her for talking about an incident that happened 100 years ago. It had nothing to do with me or her. If she didn't get backlash from social media she would have never felt bad about it. It's difficult to be friends with someone like that.

Bravotv.com: What do you hope from Monique or need to move on? (You two still seemed shady at that champagne toast).
GB: Oh, I stay on ready when it comes to shade dealing with these group of ladies. Monique needs to dig deep and find some humility and sincerely apologize to me if she ever thinks that we will move forward in any direction. If she never feels the need to do that, then the shade will continue to be fast and furious.

Bravotv.com: What did you think about this exchange between Ray, , and Michael?
GB: It is nice to see Ray and Michael defend their women, however, Karen took being nasty to 7th-grade level. I mean, she gave Michael the middle finger, who over the age of 16 does that? Or I should ask who over the age of 16 allows someone to get them angry enough that you want to use the middle finger. Actually, maybe that is how Karen and Ray communicate, when at a lost for words shoot that middle finger in the air and keep walking. HA!

Bravotv.com: What are your final thoughts on the season?
GB: So much happened for me in season 3. EveryHue Beauty took off on a level that I was not expecting. Friendships changed and have grown for the good and for the bad. My love life is a moving target which I think I like, there is never a dull moment. Through it all, I am stronger than ever and excited about my future. I can't wait for what tomorrow brings. Once again, I want to thank ALL the fans for stepping into this journey with us, the best is yet to come.

Ashley Darby is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac. Ashley Darby opens up about her miscarriage and reflects on her marriage issues with husband Michael.

Bravotv.com: What do you think about saying that you didn’t do anything in her direction for good about the pizza moment?
Ashley Darby: I understand that Karen always wants to feel attacked, but this a pizza delivery was all in fun. Never did we intend to hurt or bring harm to Karen, as we were expecting her to open the door and laugh at us dressed in our ridiculous costumes. If we were actually trying to do harm, believe me, we would not have done something as funny and lighthearted as delivering a pizza. I wish she would lighten up about it.

Bravotv.com: What were you thinking when Michael was clashing with Karen and Ray – what do you think about these business issues accusations?
AD: This has been a long time coming, as Michael has been very upset by Karen propagating this terrible rumor. He also has been a credible businessman for over three decades. Michael has survived multiple recessions and sacrificed his own well-being in order to lawfully keep his business afloat. When he hears of people who have cut corners and tried to trick the system, it is very frustrating for him and he loses respect for them. Such was the instance with Ray, where Michael tried to genuinely ask about his ventures to understand the situation. He also knows things happen and life isn't always fair. Ray shut Michael down immediately and Karen started talking about his 'dingaling.' I don't know how anyone can throw those daggers and not expect retaliation. Michael is a real estate developer where his character and integrity ultimately define his success. Consequently, he has a right to know that the people around him follow the same standard of decorum.

Bravotv.com: Tell us about this cease and desist – or as much as you can – and clashing with Karen on the couch here. You two seemed to come together over your mother.
AD: I have a great deal of respect for Karen as a mother and genuinely appreciated when she gave me words of advice about how to balance the relationship between my marriage and my mom. Where Karen and I derailed was over an instance that happened last year. Initially, I was going to keep it to myself, but when Karen started making comments about my relationship and putting on airs in relation to marriage I did not think it was right. I felt like she was constantly poking at me and the other ladies when really she lived in a fragile glass house. Ultimately, after hearing the history Karen and Ray share, I have decided to drop it. If they are happy and have an arrangement, that is none of my business and I wish them the best. And that hush letter ended up right in the trash.

Bravotv.com: Tell us about opening up about your miscarriage. What is it like now watching Michael break down?
AD: I decided to share about our miscarriage because I wanted my fellow Housewives to understand that the advice they gave Michael and I really helped us. Gizelle Bryant had given me great advice in the past about working on a marriage and really evaluating whether or not a love is worth fighting for. I took that to heart and we didn't give up. When Michael and I decided to start a family, it was a very pivotal moment for us. We have shared both our ups and our downs with everyone, as we want everyone to know that absolutely no one is perfect.

Michael underwent a very emotional transition. When we first conceived, it was within the first cycle of trying. In June we experienced the first time in six years of not using the POM and it was pretty fun, I see what all the fuss is about! When we returned from Bhutan from my 30th birthday trip, I was very tired and my body was sore. We really thought it was just jet lag, as I have been prone to physical changes with time change in the past. One day I was getting ready to go to an event and before I jumped in the shower I took a pregnancy test. I had almost forgotten I took the test but looked down and saw that it was positive, my heart skipped many beats! That night I told Michael by putting the positive pregnancy test in his lap. He was happy and I could see that, but I don't think it felt real to him at the time. Over the next few days, we both got more and more excited, talking about all of the fun things to expect with parenthood - even thinking of baby names. When I had the tragic miscarriage, Michael was very upset and I think he realized that he wanted to have a baby more than he originally thought. That was a very special moment for me because now I know that we are really making the right choice to have a family together. Michael is a wonderful man who loves deeply and passionately, and I am incredibly proud of him for being open about his emotions. It not always easy for a man of his status, but Michael is open to growing and learning. What more could I ask for?

Bravotv.com: What are your final thoughts of the season?
AD: This was a very heartfelt season of evolution for me and my family. It wasn't easy to share the intimate details of our lives, and it's been a painful process, but we knew that blue skies were just beyond the grey clouds. I'm proud of how much we have evolved and look forward to more experiences together. I didn't know I could love my mom any more than I always did. Even more importantly, I'm optimistic about how my friendships will continue to grow. Right now we are in a rough patch as we are still working to learn and love each other, but I'm eternally optimistic about it. Onward and upward!

Vicki Gunvalson is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. The OG of the OC shares her thoughts on all the drama between Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter.

Vicki writes:

"As I write this week’s blog, I am in Santorini heading to Mykonos on a Seajet celebrating Steve’s 60th birthday. Some of you have been following me on Instagram (@vickigunvalson) and commenting regarding Mike and Dani joining us for a few days. A few weeks ago you saw Mike and I talking about this trip in my office and me wanting to plan to go together. It just so happened that it worked out, and we did overlap two days at the same time, which was so much fun for all of us to be halfway across the world seeing each other in Europe. Dani is celebrating her 30th birthday this week, too, so it was fun having us celebrate together. They have left Greece and are now onto Amsterdam and then to Berlin while we are staying in Greece. If you haven’t been to Santorini and Mykonos, I highly encourage you to put it on your bucket list.

Now onto this week’s episode.

Watching the emotions and the stress that Shannon was going through at this time was hard for me. It brought back memories of when Donn and I were divorcing and the financial and emotional stress it causes on everyone. I’m sure some of you have experienced this and can relate to the emotions that go into play when dividing assets, custody, and belongings that were built together for 17 years. The fact that David was ordered to pay Shannon $30,000/month means that guy is making a lot of money, and absolutely Shannon is entitled to a portion of it. I was surprised to hear that David did not retain an attorney and have to believe by now he has. It’s an expensive process and one that can be very costly and lengthy if settlements do not happen quickly. The attorneys end up taking a huge portion of those assets if the divorce takes a long time. My heart goes out to her and the girls as they go through this.

Did anyone find Kelly’s lunch date with the “milkman” awkward? He looked like he just rolled out of bed and was not the classy man I thought he would have been. She previously spoke so highly of him, but after seeing him on this week’s episode, what does she see in him? I do however, think the “milkman” had some pretty interesting advice when he said Kelly needed to tone her personality down a notch or she would be single for a long time. Kelly is and has been quick to fly off the handle versus calmly handling conflict. Seems to me like they have had some conflict of their own for him to be saying to her what he did. I wish the best for Kelly and just want her to be happy. The transition after being married is difficult, and I don’t want her to just take any guy that comes her way.

I really have no idea what happened after I left Emily’s home the night of the poker party, but I do know that Gina was extremely loud the entire night. I think she was a bit “overserved” and also think she was trying too hard to fit into our group of friends. I don’t know what happened when it came to Shane telling her to lower her voice and stop using profanity, but I have to side with Shane on this one. It had to have been past 11pm and with three small kids sleeping upstairs, I’m sure he felt it was time for her to go home. I also don’t think it’s any of our business to discuss it or comment negatively against Shane, because none of us were there. But…my gut says Shane had every right to be upset.

It was fun for me to film the radio spots with iHeart Radio with my partner Ali. It was so nice to have Steve and Michael there to support me and to assist me with the expansion of Coto Financial. As most of you know, over a year ago I partnered with Ali to open Coto Financial, which is an expansion of Coto Insurance & Financial Services and primarily offers life, health, property, and casualty insurance and retirement income planning. If you are interested in obtaining a free quote on life insurance, please visit our website at http://www.cotoinsurance.com/life-insurance/.

After 29 years in the business, it only made sense for me to expand to be a general agency offering tools and mentorship to other experienced agents on how they too can grow their practice with a full team heading things up in our LA office. If you are a licensed agent anywhere in the United States and are interested in learning more about our company, please email us at info@cotofinancial.com.

On a personal note, Briana, Ryan, and my two grandsons visited us in California before we headed to Greece. It was so nice having them all back in town for five days. And for those of you that have asked, they are really enjoying living in North Carolina. They have a big home on 25 acres, and Briana’s lupus seems to be under control for the time being. She is loving living in the South, and I’m doing my best to visit them every few months. It’s very difficult having them live so far away, but her happiness is the most important thing to me, and she seems very happy and less stressed financially.

I hope all of you are enjoying this season so far. As most of you are finishing up your summer travels and if you have children getting them back to school, I wish you and your family the very best."

Kelly Dodd is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Kelly Dodd opens up about her date with the milkman and weighs in on all the drama between Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter.

Kelly writes:

"If you ever want to know about the ins and outs of marriage and divorce, just watch The Real Housewives of Orange County! It's amazing how everyone is experiencing the different stages of relationships right now. It's nice when we can all get along so we can be supportive of each other's situations and be there through and ups and downs.

Shannon is really being put through the wringer by her ex-husband in their divorce. I was happy to see her come out on top after her court proceeding, even if it took an emotional toll. I think the matchmaker was the push she really needed to move on and get back out there. Tamra knew what she was doing. She's been there with Shannon through it all, and she's a good friend.

Hearing about Shane throwing Gina out of Emily's house was a plot twist! Who does that? Not having been there to witness it, all I can say is that I think it's always inexcusable for a man to yell at a woman, especially if it's not someone he knows. As a party hostess, Emily must have been mortified at the way the night ended. Still, something tells me everybody is blowing it out of proportion. Sometimes, the way stories get passed around and exaggerated, a whole drama can be created that wasn't even there to begin with. But hey—it's not my drama, so I'll just sit back and enjoy the fireworks on this one.

So now you've all had a taste of the Milkman! I met Frank at the Mayweather V. McGregor fight in Vegas. We had a couple of friends in common. We were friends first and even talked about going into business together. We are still good friends. I love spending time with him. Being that he lives in New York, you could say he's geographically undesirable, but at least our connection is real. We still talk and see each other. I love our friendship and our bond, but I think it could never work out because of the distance. His business is in New York, and it means everything to him.

When I laughed at the idea of being alone, I know I might seem like an egomaniac, but to clarify, I was trying to point out that there's no reason for anyone to be alone. After all, we could all settle if we wanted to. I've been married twice and engaged once more. I've never been alone. But at this point in my life, I actually need to be alone and want to be alone. Am I confident that I won't end up alone? It's not a fear that I have, at least not right now. I will say one thing: I'm an open-minded girl, but I am pretty sure I won't marry a Mormon. I'm sure he'd tell me I'm going straight to hell!"

Emily Simpson is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Emily Simpson reacts to the ladies conversation about her marriage and husband and questions Tamra Judge's motives.

Bravotv.com: How do you feel about the conversations happening about your marriage and your husband?
Emily Simpson: Which conversation? When Tamra is talking to Gina, when Tamra is talking to Vicki, or perhaps when Tamra discussed my husband and marriage to the entire table of women after I had left Tanner’s? The short answer is that no one likes to know their marriage or husband is being discussed. Especially when they don’t even know him. Unfortunately, some absolutely love initiating such conversations.

First, I’d like to point out that Gina and I had already resolved our issue regarding poker night and my husband, because she made sure to clear the air and “squash” the incident. I love Gina for this. She let me know that Tamra informed her that she must have created quite a scene for Shane to respond the way he did. Was Tamra there? Is it her business to discuss? Either way, after a thoughtful discussion in the car, Gina and I both decided it really wasn’t a big deal and we had moved on. But for some reason Tamra decided to repeatedly bring up the incident. Why?

It’s interesting that at Shannon’s lunch, when Shannon asked me how late my poker party went, Tamra was quick to pipe up with a smile, “Until Gina got kicked out.” This was something Tamra learned from a private conversation she had with Gina, yet now felt the need to point it out so quickly to the ladies present.

Later when we all met at Tanner’s and I decided to head home, it was because 1) my husband came home early from work so I could meet up with the ladies, and 2) I had been at work all day and had not spent any time with my husband or children that day. Never did I say that I HAD to go home or that my husband TOLD ME that I must come home. I simply wanted to put my children to bed and spend a little quality time with them. After I left, I really appreciated seeing that both Gina and Kelly were understanding that I left, because I have three little ones at home. Yet Tamra said she “feels” like my husband told me to come home, that he’s “controlling”… Assume much??

I wasn’t gone for two seconds before Tamra started in with, “I have a question...” as she smiled and again brought up the incident between Gina and Shane. If she truly had a question about me, or my husband, why not ask while I was present at the table? I’m just curious why Tamra pushes women to have issues with their friends even after their problems have been resolved.

And it didn’t stop there. Since Vicki left dinner early with me the night before and missed out on Tamra’s choice of topic, she made sure to fill Vicki in on the conversation regarding my marriage! How has she handled Vicki talking about her husband, Eddie, in the past?

Bravotv.com: Are there any misconceptions about Shane you want to clear up?
ES: Probably the biggest misconception I’d like to clear up would be the snap judgments made of my husband based on this one incident. We all have our moments. In fact, stay tuned, and you will soon see me have mine…

Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley explain how "honored" they feel about being a part of Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest project. In the Who Is America? episode that aired on August 19 on Showtime, Baron Cohen posed as an Israeli anti-terrorism expert, and he pretended to teach the Real Housewives of Orange County couple how to protect themselves from home invasion.

"The production company called us beforehand to tell us about the show and what to expect. And what they said to us was, ‘Look, this is a Mousad agent from Israel … he’s a huge Trump supporter and he’s this and he’s that and we just want to make sure you’re not going to be offended by anything he’s saying or doing," the former Real Housewives of Orange COunty star told Page Six.

When Baron Cohen pulled out guns and zip ties at one point, Gretchen began to worry that the prankster was part of an actual terrorist group — and Slade even wanted to call the police. But, now that the truth has come out, Gretchen says: "I’m so honored that Sacha Cohen thought to prank me and Slade! To even be on his radar in any aspect, I feel honored that he even wants to be hanging out with us.”

For his part, Slade said: "I think that he’s busting these political figures and these well-known individuals and he’s exposing almost the lies that they’ve been telling. He had us for four hours because he never got us. He never got us to break or to do anything that was controversial because that’s not who we are."

The former RHOC stars were pranked back in February by Cohen. They figured out about the prank after chatting with Tito Ortiz, who was also filmed for a potential segment, they revealed to the publication. So far Cohen has duped Senator Bernie Sanders and “The Bachelor” star Corrine Olympios, among others.

According to a new report, The Real Housewives of New York City is set to begin production around Labor Day for the show's upcoming eleventh season and apparently Bethenny Frankel hasn’t signed on yet.

“Bethenny’s contract is much more complex than the other Housewives’ contracts. She’s usually late to the game when it comes to signing on but she doesn’t hold up production and she usually confirms just in time,” the insider revealed to Us Weekly.

Frankel is also not thinking about work yet and hasn’t given an answer on when she’ll be ready, another source adds, as she’s grieving the loss of her on-off love Dennis Shields.

“It has been a tough time for her and she is just trying to mourn the loss of Dennis right now. She hasn’t thought about when she’ll be ready to get back to work yet,” a second source added. However, the publication reveals that Bravo and production has been very supporting of Bethenny. “They are giving her space to grieve and letting her make the decision of when the right time is for her to return,” the insider told Us Weekly.

As previously reported, Frankel's on-off boyfriend Dennis Shields was found dead at his room in Trump Tower on August 10. Frankel and Shields began dating in 2016 after more than 20 years as friends. A source previously revealed that Shields allegedly proposed to her four months before his death.

Shields’ cause of death has not yet been determined, but he apparently overdosed on prescription pills and asked for Narcan, the drug used to reverse the effects of a narcotics overdose.

Meanwhile, Frankel broke her silence three days after Shields’ death, sharing an Instagram photo of him with her dog Cookie, who died in 2017. “Rest In Peace my sweet babies who gave me endless unconditional love,” she wrote, adding “#nowandforever.”

Dawn Ward admits she was was "mortified" when she was called out for not paying a DJ that was hired to perform at her private birthday. According to The Sun, the DJ was forced to tweet the Real Housewives of Cheshire star publicly after payment failed to materialize for her services performed more than a month ago.

The DJ had spent weeks being told she would soon be paid by one of Dawn's staff after being called last minute, but the ITVBe reality star insists that she knew nothing of the pending payment until it was brought to her attention.

"I was mortified, I was like, 'What the hell is this?' because I didn't know anything about it," Dawn told The Sun. "But I do know about it now and it's being sorted out today."

The mother-of-four revealed that a former employee had been promising payment to the DJ, but was not passing on the messages to her, she added: "Somebody else at Kandi Tree [was dealing with it] and they have left the business and I didn't know."

Ward insists this situation is simply down to a mistake and isn't because she doesn't want to pay her bills.

"I'm sorry about that - it's not because I don't want to pay my bills, it's because I didn't know anything about it," she insisted. "It happens all the time in business. It's quite frustrating. It happens all the time in business in general unfortunately but I don't usually get public tweets."

Dawn added: "She would have been paid had she dealt with somebody else, but we actually didn't know about it."

Lala Kent will appear on E!'s Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry. The Vanderpump Rules star sat down for a reading with Henry on Monday, according to her boyfriend Randall Emmett’s Instagram story.

Kent previously revealed that her boyfriend Emmett had asked her dad for her hand in marriage before his untimely death.

Henryhas given on-camera readings for many Bravo reality stars including Padma Lakshmi, NeNe Leakes, Kyle Richards, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, Erika Girardi, including her co-stars Lisa Vanderpump and Stassi Schroeder.

Dina Manzo has confirmed that she's officially engaged to her longtime boyfriend David Cantin during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live. “We’ve always been engaged,” said the Real Housewives of New Jersey alum. “We got engaged once, early in our relationship, and then we both realized it was way too early. And then we got engaged again last year.”

When asked if she’s going to have a big wedding, Manzo joked that it would be “small” and that “you’ll learn about it after.”

“Our life is a honeymoon,” she said. “We don’t do a lot of traveling, but we are definitely in the honeymoon phase.”

That’s when Lewis started wondering whether Manzo and Cantin are actually married — with Manzo adding fuel to the fire by asking Lewis to call her “Just Dina” rather than “Dina Manzo,” according to PEOPLE.

“I’m not Manzo anymore,” she said. “We had no children.”

Lewis said that Manzo and Cantin, who was in the audio, were getting married “maybe sooner than we think.” He even pointed pointing out the “really nice rings” the pair were both apparently wearing.

“It’s so cute how you guys wear those little commitment rings. That ring looks nice on you guys. On your wedding finger,” he said, telling Cantin, “You really should put a ring on it. Oh, you did!”

“We are committed,” Manzo said, not confirming whether they had indeed said their “I dos.”

Manzo and Cantin have been dating since 2015 and live in Newport Beach, California, in a two-story, modern farmhouse with their three dogs and three cats. “It’s a nice living space for what it is,” Manzo explained of the Orange County property. “It has a lot of open outside space. A lot of courtyard living.”

This will be the third marriage for Manzo, who separated from her husband of seven years, Tommy Manzo, back in February 2015. She has a 22-year-old daughter Lexi Ioannou from her first marriage. Cantin and his ex-wife, Melissa, separated in 2014 and divorced the following year. They have two kids, who live with their mom on the east coast, reports PEOPLE.

Dina Manzo recently opened up about her complicated relationship with sister Caroline Manzo. “Caroline does not speak to me at all … we haven’t spoken in two years,” the Real Housewives of New Jersey alum said during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live.

Dina furthered explained that reality TV changes people — and apparently that was a contributing factor to their fallout. “People become [caricatures] of themselves. A little part of what people say that they liked, they tend to put it on.”

As you may recall, Dina, Caroline and their sister-in-law Jacqueline Laurita along with Teresa Giudice and Danielle Staub appeared in the first season of the Bravo hit reality series, which Dina edned up leaving halfway of the show during Season 2. Meanwhile Caroline and Jacqueline stayed on the show until the fifth season.

Dina made her return to the show during the show's sixth season, which by then her relationship with her family was was nearly non-existent, according to PEOPLE.

“I think we all changed but there was a point when I left — because I really quit after season 1, but part of my deal was I had to film some of season 2,” she said. “It was when I didn’t recognize who she was any more that I said, ‘I’m out.’ ”

Dina said she was shocked when she watched the show back and saw some of the hurtful things her sister said about her.

“And then the television thing [factored in] after I watched season 1. I was saying very nice things about them and watching back, they weren’t doing the same for me. So I was like, ‘What the f—?’ Is there envy going on here. They don’t want me to look good?’ I don’t know, but it freaked me out.”

Meanwhile, Dina says she is still close with her brother Chris (who is married to RHONJ alum Jacqueline Laurita).

“Chris, I saw him not too long ago, when we lived in Malibu and he came out and we had a nice dinner,” she said. “We don’t see each other often because we’re on different coasts. But we’re definitely fine. And Jacqueline as well. If they called me tomorrow and they needed me, I’ll be there. They’re great.”

Despite her fallout with sister Caroline, Dina claims she doesn't wish she doesn’t have any ill wishes for her sister.

“Maybe becoming a grandmother has brought her back down to earth,” she said.

Phaedra Parks is shutting down rumors that she's is getting her peach back. Contrary to various reports, the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star confirms that she is not returning to the Bravo hit reality series for the show's upcoming eleventh season.

“You know, I have closed that chapter, and I’ve moved on to new things,” she told Us Weekly. “I’m now with WE tv and I’m very happy and very excited about the opportunities that they’ve presented to me. So, you know, that’s a done deal at the moment. I never say never, but you know, I’ve moved on to greener pastures.”

While Parks is putting RHOA behind her, she is returning to reality television. Parks, a friend of Traci Braxton is set to appear on season 6 of Braxton Family Values, which is currently airing on WE tv.

“I’ll be on numerous episodes with Traci, and I think they’re gonna be fabulous,” Parks told Us Weekly. “You need to tune in, because it’s something different .You know, anytime I come on the scene, it’s gonna be fabulous. So you know, tune in.”

Parks left the Bravo hit reality series after six seasons in 2017 after she admitted at the RHOA season 9 reunion that she lied about Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker’s alleged plan to date rape Porsha Williams.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: I love reunions but I hate recapping them. By this point of the season, the women have watched everything back and they are firmly on their own couches and there’s hardly ever any change, so it's hard to discuss the events of an episode when it's just the women throwing petty jabs at each other. That being said this was may be one of the best reunions we’ve seen because these New York women can create epic reality TV in their sleep, literally, remember when Ramona fell asleep AT THE REUNION? The lines have firmly been drawn in the sand between Bethenny and every other person with a vagina on those couches, except Sonja but who else is she going to defend?

After the whole production had to be halted so Ramona's Mariah Carey good side could show, it was announced that obviously, Countess Luann decided not to attend due to her latest Betty Ford visit. The New York Housewives may have lost a cast member but they made up for it with the addition of their seventh cast member: Andy Cohen. Normally he’s a mediator but at this reunion, he’s an active participant, he had more camera time and was more involved in the drama than Tinsley, who was sitting on the end who only had her new haircut to use as a talking point. These women are dealing with alcoholism, betrayal, death and the only thing Mugshot Mortimer had to contribute was her lost hair? It's not even that I don't like Tinsley but she just doesn't deserve to be on this cast of Housewives professionals. I seriously forget she was there, I don't know if I've even seen a Housewife do less on a show than Tinsley has done, however, I guess Andy is gunning to grab her apple.

He was rimming Bethenny more than he's rimmed anyone before (on and off camera) and I could literally see the Skinnygirl branded shit forming around his lips. What does she have over him that he needs to be that far up her as? He claims to be real friends with Carole but when her phone went off during his eulogy to Luann you could see it in his eyes she wouldn't be back. Bethenny's only supporters during this reunion were Sonja and Andy, she doesn't even have Kevin waiting in the car anymore. Ramona, Dorinda and Carole obviously went into this reunion with a plan because they are all pissed at Bethenny, she couldn't finish a sentence without them jumping on her for lying and screaming simultaneously as if it were the season four reunion, which caused Andy to continuously reprimand them so his star pupil could finish her Skinnygirl spin on whatever issue they were discussing at the time.

Bethenny has a tendency to take over hosting duties and run the reunion which Andy allows her to do while he hangs out in her skinny asshole and observes her hypocritically going after the other women and then yelling at them when they call her out. The group discussed Bobby Zarin's funeral but not in a sad memorable way, in a "Bethenny is a cunt" way. She spoke about talking to Jill inside the funeral and then claimed she felt like she needed to see her again outside. Does she really think we are that dumb? She spoke to her outside because she wanted it to be documented on camera, it's not shade, it's a fact. When the girls tried to call her out on being a fame whore and only reconnecting with Jill ON CAMERA, Andy, of course, defended her saying it was good she spoke to Jill in front of Bravo lenses because he wanted to see it. Every Bravo fan wanted to see this reconciliation and I'm glad we did, however, our vested interest in their friendship doesn't overrule the fact that Bethenny has obvious fame whoring ways. It's fitting they reconnected because she has literally become the Jill Zarin of season three.

Following the women communally jumping on Bethenny harder than a fat kid jumps on a waterbed, it became pretty obvious why they are so upset. Throughout the years' everyone on those couches has all participated in eating the dingleberries out of Bethenny's asshole, they genuinely care about her but as she stated numerous times she doesn't give a fuck about them which hurt their feelings. I think their love paired with her zero fucks attitude made them realise they were filming "The Bethenny Show" and not "The Real Housewives of New York" so they came together as a collective group to all go against the literal Queen B and it worked, Bethenny was like a pornstar in a gang bang video because she was getting pounded on all ends without any relief, now that is a crisis.

It doesn't matter if the issue is about the dumb nutcracker or Bethenny not supporting Ramona's faux skincare line it's deeper than that, it's how she's the Queen of the show, gets the best edit, the most camera, the most money and treats the rest of them like shit so I don't view it as a gang up on Bethenny, I view it as more like a revolution because the villagers are taking their Queen down. The Ramona/Bethenny divide is confusing to me. Bethenny doesn't like Ramona but she uses "you've been nothing but terrible to me" as an excuse. Yes, Ramona and her Singer Stinger have been an absolute cunt in the past but she's also helped B when she was bleeding out, cried together on vacation and had genuinely funny moments together, so for Bethenny to categorise their whole relationship as bad says more about her then Ramona because in her confessionals this season alone Bethenny has talked more shit about Ramona than the Singer Stinger has ever said to her face.

These episodes of Dallas move so quickly and always leave me wanting more, I don't know if I should thank God, Andy Cohen, LeeAnne Locken's extensions or her exhausted panty liner because this season is fucking thrilling. It really is Netflix quality where they need to stream the entire season at once because it's beyond binge-worthy. It confuses me how Housewives loyalists can sit through season upon season about people fighting about glasses and underwear on Beverly Hills but Dallas is the show which is lacking viewers even they are delivering more reality TV greatness than the Octomon delivered children. If Dallas goes the way of Miami but Beverly Hills and Jersey continue to get renewed then there really is no justice in this world.

We began with Rich sharting after the fake wedding surprise before D'Andra and Jeremy took the spotlight off him and onto celebrating their hot and horny relationship. I don't know if I've ever seen one-anniversary speech revolve around a couple's sex life while they are in a room of relatives and even their children but Jeremy definitely wants us to know they are the bunnies of Texas, which I believe because Mr Military can get it. Over at the LGBT table with the Erika Jayne of Dallas, LeeAnne Locken, she was opening up with Stephanie.

These two have been indirect enemies for the entire course of the show so it was genuinely heartwarming and intriguing to see them not only get drunk together but bond over their past depression issues, everyone knows LeeAnne's past has been rougher than a brick wall but the fact that the Bambi of this show had also tried to commit suicide in the past really opened my eyes, although it confused me at the same time because she said she gets depressed when she drinks wine but isn't this the world's biggest lover of Jesus Juice?

From looking at Stephanie you would never think she would've dealt with this, she's always played the role of Brandi's light, lovable sidekick but this season we are seeing the different dimensions of her which involves her history. As much as I know sharing personal information with another reality star can totally back fire in your face from my 18996 hours of reality TV viewing, I think their histories really cemented a bond between these two and I didn't know the LeeAnne/Stephanie alliance was something I wanted and needed in my life but I'm kind of obsessed.

Between Rich getting ready to shit himself and LeeAnne & Stephanie somehow becoming besties, Brandi also decided to show up to the party she had already declined. Obviously, there was a producer right in Brandi's ear because she put heels on, did her hair and went over to the anniversary party for literally the last five minutes of the night. Was there really a point of Brandi crashing the party if she wasn't going to eat and or cause any drama? She told D'Andra she didn't want to talk about their issues and just have a good time but only Brandi knows what the issues are. Just as Steph judged LeeAnne because she was friends with Brandi, I think Brandi judged D'Andra because she came in as LeeAnne's bestie.

They weren't close last season and Brandi probably wanted to go into this season with some kind of drama to make her relevant so she decided to get mad at D'Andra over two insignificant stupid comments and run with them. If she was so pissed about the squinty eye comment why not bring it up with the reunion? And instead of trolling the blogs to find how many articles were written about the Adderall comment, why didn't she just download the podcast and listen for herself because I did and she never directly said anything about Brandi and was joking about Dallas as a place. Even though I'm #BlockedByBrandi for unknown reasons I want to like her but her dumb excuses for feuds make it so hard. After she had been at the party for all of fives minutes, all the other ladies got shit faced and Stephanie tried to straddle a lion statute like was a male stripper working at The Roundup, but fell off and ended the night with a fun drunk memory.

The thing that makes this show so great is how we can go from one scene full of drunk antics to a deep, dark and thoroughly entertaining scene with D'Andra and Mama Dee which explores their tumultuous relationship. Holy shit, Bravo really hit a gold mine when they found this mother-daughter clusterfuck. After avoiding each other around their office for months, the show started taping and D'Andra decided she needed to talk to her mother about using a soft pouch for a product which Mama Dee shut down in 1.8 seconds. The soft pouch is kind of a metaphor for their relationship, D'Andra tries to excel or use some kind of power she has at the company but is always overruled by her mom even though she's supposed to be the boss. D'Andra is one of my favourites but I am mesmerised by Mama Dee and her blue eyeshadow.

I can't pick sides between this mother daughter duo, even though I feel for D'Andra, so here's what I learned from this dynamic exchange:

- S is for Simmons not Stupid

- Mother and daughters are jealous of each other, especially if they're good looking

- Mama Dee is a Queen

- They're both popular

- I may be a sadist because I enjoyed their fight so much

In the end, Dee dismissed her daughter saying she doesn't want to talk to her anymore and their relationship is still in trouble. Obviously, how Mama Dee acted was condescending and rude but I need more of this Texas businesswoman, her finger pointing and cunty attitude in my life, and I mean that in the best Erika Jayne way possible. Can she please come to the reunions or have her own People Couch's show? Maybe her own Judge Judy style spinoff because if she can talk to her own daughter like that imagine the wonders her finger pointing and eyeshadow could do in a faux court of law. Or maybe even a The Real Mothers of Bravo starring her Mama Elsa, Mama Joyce, Vida, Patricia, Marge Sr and any other sassy opinionated Bravo mothers. I'm salivating thinking about it. Dee doesn't hold a star because she is the star.

I know everyone loves the snark and shade embedded in all my recaps but it's hard to have those things when an entire episode revolves around the death of one of the cast members parents. MJ's dad Shams died after years of health complications and a stroke.

I know it's corny and dumb to say "he's in a better place" when someone dies but in this situation he really is. His quality of life was not good. He was stuck in a hospital bed for years on end, his neck couldn't even hold him up and I don't think he could speak either which he saw through him looking into MJ's Snapchat filters confused and incoherent, so as tragic and devasting as it was for everyone involved, at least he's finally at peace.

Everyone except MJ could see his health declining for the last few years but she was hopefully optimistic he would be able to see her have children and walk her down in the aisle. MJ's false belief of her dad's situation wasn't as bad as it was last season, but she took her rose coloured glasses off and was wearing rose coloured contacts. MJ's only living family is Vida (and Reza) by default so whenever she loses a family member it cuts her deep, which we saw when she froze her dead dog in the freezer. I don't know if it's God, fate, spirits or Andy Cohen but everything does happen for a reason and it wasn't a coincidence her dad's death and wedding happened in such a short succession of each other, sometimes the universe closes one chapter so you can start another one fresh, without having to flip between the pages. Ew, I just read that back and I know how cheesy it sounds but it's the truth.

The editing for this episode was a little off. I'm not sure how long after he died this was filmed but there wasn't any mention of a funeral and if there was I was too busy eating pasta. The whole cast was stunned by the death of Shams but their botox made it hard to tell, especially Mike. Holy shit. Each episode he morphs more into a Persian Joan Rivers. Bad example because Vida is the Persian Joan Rivers. Maybe the Persian Bruce Jenner? Pre vagina days, of course. In honour of the death and to remind us they are very Persian, the group brought an endless amount of food over to Mike's house to comfort MJ. The usual suspects were invited, including Nema, Tommy, Vida, Mike's wannabe Kardashian girlfriend and even MJ's gay pep squad who are her bridesmaids.

There was just a sombre vibe attached to this episode which was necessary because someone lost a parent but nothing really happened. Mercedes is my favourite Shah and I just want to hug her, stuff some ghormeh sabzi down her throat and tell her everything will be okay but she clearly has enough people to help with the healing process. Even though Vida was a hoe back in the day and cheated on Shams, they remained close after their divorce so she was hit hard by his passing and for the first time we've known Vida, and probably the first time in MJ's life, she actually managed to have one sentence where she didn't criticize her or make her feel bad about herself. These two are really the only blood each one has left so I think the Shams situation woke Vida the fuck up and maybe we'll see her be nicer or it could be the complete opposite and turn her into an even more critical bitch than she already is. I love her bitchy streak so maybe she can just accost her daughter in moderation?

To try and cheer the bride-to-be up, Reza and Mike decided to take MJ wedding dress shopping. Why was Mike there? When trying on wedding dresses you should be surrounded by a room full of your bitchy female relatives or a bevy of gays who will praise you and say "YAS QUEEN" more than a British servant, not come to see if your dick will get hard. It's clear none of the three really wanted to go but when a check is on the line anybody will film anything. The wedding dress shop was in was Orange County so Reza tried to explain how OC women have blonde hair, big titties and a fuck tonne of botox. Does he think we've never seen The Real Housewives of Orange County before? Vicki Gunvalson's multiple faces have been burned into my amygdala. (Thank you, LeeAnne Locken, for entering that new word into my vocabulary.)

Before Mercedes had even tried on one dress she had a breakdown in the dressing room so Reza and Mike tried to console her with Cartier jewellery and cliche lines. I want to take Mike seriously, I really do, but his botox doctor is making that so hard. He tried to laugh at his own jokes during the dress fitting and that face was moving just as much as a nun does during sex. Not at all. Surely Reza can help him with the botox/makeup situation because it's getting worse as the season goes on. In the end, MJ walked out in a Sofia Vergara mermaid dress with ruffles from the 80s on the bottom, she obviously didn't buy it but even moving forward with her own life after her dad dying was a big step for her.

Fashion Friday is back! Today our friend Sam Allan from Good Tea is reviewing the looks from The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 3 Reunion. Check it out below!

Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author (Good Tea), and they do not reflect in any way those of iRealHousewives.com.

Good Tea writes: "This has to be the worst dressed reunion ever. Apart from none of these looks even slightly following a theme or matching in any way, each individual look is less than satisfying and I can't believe Bravo let them wear these ensembles on national TV. Did Steve Wonder do the dress design? Were the camera crew stoned? Because how else do you explain the monstrosity of these reunion looks. I can't even think of what the theme could be? Every dress is a different colour, completely different style and material, was the theme get drunk and go shopping? Eh, the one positive of this fashion clusterfuck is that I have more than enough content to fuel this shady ranking!"

6. Gizelle Bryant

All these outfits scream what the fuck, but this one especially. Why? Who hurt you Gizelle? Apart from this dress being the colour of Shrek's cum, the material looks like that of a cheap 80s bridesmaids dress and the turtleneck/cape mess doesn't do anything for her face especially since she has a tight pony. Wouldn't you let the hair down to at least distract from this fucked up dress? And what is up with that weird midsection? It's pointless and it only extenuates the fugliness of the look and serves as much purpose as Robyn. None. How can you call yourself the word of the street and wear something that looks like it belongs in a blind superheroes wedding?

5. Robyn Dixon

Nope. Not today. It's almost like Robyn is trying to test how much we can take from her. On top of her boring personality and overall dullness, she decided to end the reunion looking like the drag queen ugly stepsister from Shrek. Wow. Did both the Green-Eyed Bandits draw their reunion look inspiration from the same children's movie? Her linebacker physique and this skin-tight purple dress are good on their own but together she looks like a WWE wrestler at an award show. I have a sneaky suspicion Juan may be her stylist because whoever cut her hair and made her wear this dress obviously has a very strong hatred towards her. At least Robyn's stayed true to herself with this reunion look: trying way too hard and looking like a mess doing so.

4. Monique Samuels

How the fuck could this dress fit into the same theme as any of the other dresses, maybe in Karen Huger's alternate universe but not in mine. Mrs Samuels is so naturally stunning with her beautiful face, consistent weaves and great fashions but come on Monique, what the fuck is this dress? She looks like an African Queen with her little bump, braided bun and all those circles but I can't escape the thought that this dress is what Candiace's fiance's penis actually looks like. I appreciate what Monique tried to do but this look has way too much going on and if she took away all the mess around her neck and shoulder then I actually think she could've won best dressed. Better luck next year!

LeeAnne Locken is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's Season 3 premiere episode of The Real Housewives of Dallas. LeeAnne Locken talks about bonding with Stephanie Hollman about their mutual struggle with depression.

LeeAnne writes:

"YeeeeHaaaw! Welcome back to my personal style of TRUTH! Southern Style!

The best part of celebrating the Lock's anniversary was the chance to finally connect on a human level with Stephanie Hollman. When she told me about her attempt at suicide, I just wanted to let her know she wasn’t alone! Our mutual struggle with depression gave us a safe place to connect and communicate and relate to each other on a deeper level. Sometimes in the most broken parts of ourselves is where others can find the most beauty!

I want to take a moment and say, if you struggle with depression, anger, any kind of painful struggle PLEASE TALK TO SOMEONE before you decide to try and end the pain. I promise tomorrow can be better and there are people who will not only miss you but deeply love you! No one is ever completely alone! If you think you are - tweet me, I’ll be there! I want you to know that YOU ARE WORTHY OF HAPPINESS & LOVE! I genuinely look forward to the journey to get to know Stephanie! It’s nice to be zen and hopeful! Especially the part where we make asses of ourselves together! LOL.

Dear LORD! It’s no one's business but ours when and where we are getting married. I love and respect Jeremy so much. He is so mature about how to handle things and I just keep hoping some of that will rub off on his wife. The people who need to know, have the information! The anniversary party was winding down and when I saw Brandi Redmond walking in, Dee looked at me and immediately escaped the building. I think she thought the same thing I did: I don’t want to deal with drama tonight! Every time I see Brandi, I think…. here it comes. Guess she had it right at "Barf!”

Watching Stephanie Hollman convince Brandi to include both myself and D'Andra Simmons just goes to show what a kind heart she has. And she is right, not inviting us would have only created more drama than it would be worth. I think Stephanie is a really good influence on Brandi. Teaching her that extending an olive branch gets you a lot further than a roadblock.

Now let’s have a little lesson in Southern Class. In the South, women are raised to respect the women who raised us. It is a tradition and considered an honorable way to behave so I would have NEVER have spoken to my grandmother the way I just witnessed Dee’s daughter not only “go at” her to her face but worse, behind her back! LAWDY!

EXCITING NEWS! I am developing a multi-functional dress to answer the age-old question, "What should I wear tonight?" In another life, I used to create concepts for “Do It Yourself” type TV shows and was constantly brainstorming on unique concepts and creations. This dress is a concept I developed years ago and over the summer I came across my notes and thought, “Now is the PERFECT time to work on this project!" This is the ULTIMATE Little Black Dress that can be worn 175 ways! How cool is that? One dress can be the answer to so many event wardrobe dilemmas! I’m just so excited about the thought of making another woman’s life easier. You don't need to buy 175 dresses. Let's spend that money on SHOES!

Stephanies' home is magnificent and the party was perfection. Now let’s see if next week we can make it through this event without earth-shattering DRAMA! Anyone wanna place bets?"
