A few weeks ago we reported that Foxtel was going to be expanding the Real Housewives franchise to either Sydney or the Gold Coast but now News Corp Australia is reporting that Darwin may be the latest Australian spin-off series. Read full details after the jump!

The website reports that Bravo network producers are rumored to have Australia again set in their sights to launch another series in a different city

Darwin media consultant Katie Woolf, 31, said the series would be a bit different if it was filmed in the Top End.

“I think Darwin would be a great location as the women here are glam but are also very down to Earth, fun and don’t take themselves too seriously,” Ms Woolf said.

“I don’t think it would need to be so heavily focused on material opulence as the characters who live in Darwin are interesting and diverse enough. But no matter how nice women can be, when you put a group of them together to do activities, there’s always going to be drama.

“I’d also struggle to be glamorous at all times … I’d be the housewife who discovers my child’s food in her hair during an important interview or meeting.”

Pink Hill owner Silvija Majetic said she would be happy to take part in the series and allow cameras to document her lavish lifestyle.

“I’d be a bit of a stirrer to entertain everyone and keep them interested; I’d be the exciting one,” Ms Majetic said.

TV presenter Amanda Pernechele said Darwin women were versatile and would make for quality viewing on a reality series. “Darwin women love to go glam but are also into going fishing for the weekend,” Ms Pernechele said.

Now it has been reported that the cast is currently filming and the upcoming reality show is set to premiere next year.

The Real Housewives of Cheshire will follow the lives of Cheshire's rich and famous, exposing the reality of their glamorous lives.

Other rumored stars of the reality show are Leanne Brown, wife to Sunderland footballer Wes Brown, businesswoman and beauty salon owner Ampika Pickston and Magali Gorre, wife of ex-footballer Dean Gorre.

Talking about the show, ITV said: "The series steps inside the champagne fuelled lives of Cheshire’s most affluent social circle, infiltrates their friendship groups and revels in their rivalries - all with the gorgeous backdrop of the lavish homes and the exclusive locations the women live in."

Daran Little, the man behind the show has also written for Coronation Street, and was the story producer for The Only Way Is Essex, and a story supervisor for Made In Chelsea.

Daran will launch the show as part of ITV's new Channel ITVBe, which is designed to focus on lifestyle programmes and will exclusively air TOWIE and the other American Real Housewives reality shows.

ITV are remaining hush-hush about the new Cheshire-based reality show, and the full line-up of housewives will not be revealed until the end of this month.

Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge continues to battle for custody of her children against her ex-husband Simon Barney, according to new court documents obtained by RadarOnline, Tamra is making $600,000 per year.

Barney filed extensive financial documents as part of his ongoing custody battle with his reality star ex. According to him, he makes $120,000 per year before taxes as a sales consultant, and his ex-wife rakes in roughly $50,000 per month.

Barney claims that most of his income is eaten up by personal expenses. Daughter Sidney lives with him “100% of the time,” he claims, adding to his financial load.

According to the documents he shells out $4,100 per month for rent, $871 in health care costs, $800 for groceries, $250 for eating out, $500 for utilities, $200 for phones, $200 for laundry, $200 for clothes, $100 on supplies for his kids, $250 for entertainment, $700 on his car, $100 on insurance, and $800 in credit card payments to Capital One and American Express.

Barney says he has $7,000 in the bank and owns roughly $35,000 in other personal property.

To date, his legal wranglings with Judge have cost him $13,127, and he still owes his attorneys $3,401.

Barney and ex-wife Judge are battling it out over custody of their children Sidney, Spencer, 14, and Sophia, 8, with Barney accusing her of neglect and worse.

The trial will begin in October, but at a hearing earlier this month, the judge decreed that the reality star and her daughter should undergo therapy over concerns of parental alienation.

Newly filed documents obtained by Radar state that “The court orders and appoints Lindy Grossman as a reunification therapist for [Tamra] and [Sidney]… Both parties shall ensure that Sidney is available for this therapy and both parties shall cooperate with Ms. Grossman and follow any and all directives she has for purposes of facilitating this reunification therapy.”

According to LALATE, Lisa Vanderpump is set to produce a second Bravo spin-off show of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills series and the show will be about Stassi Schroeder. The reality show will build upon the story line of Vanderpump Rules. Read more after the jump!

The new Bravo show will be entitled “Vanderpump Rules Superfan”, hosted by Stassi Schroeder. Filming has not yet begun but the show is fully along through development and currently casting Bravo TV fans (females only) to appear in the reality show. Filming will be held at SUR.

The concept of the show is that Stassi Schroeder will work with you, going to any length to prank your superfan girlfriend, friend, or relative in sneaky and outrageous way!” Producers are “looking for is a loyal Vanderpump Rules viewer, who happens to be obsessed with Stassi Schroeder, and lives in Southern California.” They will then prank the female guest’s boyfriend or husband, drawing upon Vanderpump Rules as the backdrop.

As we reported, Aviva Drescher has been fired from The Real Housewives of New York City and it looks like she will be following the footsteps of former Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi because according to the NY Daily News, the Leggy Blonde author will be appearing in the upcoming season of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars.

Drescher will be heading to Los Angeles for six weeks to film — along with a celebrity-filled cast — “Marriage Boot Camp,” where relationship experts try to improve the marriages of reality stars. Her husband Reid will also take part, and the duo will live in a house with the other couples and collect a hefty paycheck of $150,000.

“It’s a good paycheck for easy work for Aviva,” an insider tells us. “And she knows how to create good reality TV.”

The site is also reporting that Ramona Singer will be returning as a single woman looking for love — but only in a part-time role.

Full-time cast member Sonja Morgan is returning, and will be dragging new boytoy Nicholas Brochet, a French events planner, into the mix. Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, who was part time last season, is back as a full-time cast member after Bravo producers went to her Hamptons house “begging” her to return, say insiders.

“LuAnn was genius about it, she never complained about it and let the show fall apart without her. People love LuAnn. She’s happy to be back.”

The Real Housewives of New York City will start filming Season 7 in two weeks.

I'm still having trouble believing that Ramona is coming back in a part-time role, but what are your thoughts? Are you happy to see LuAnn back at a full=time housewife? Are you sad to learn that Aviva is out for good? Tell us your thoughts in the comment section below!

Kandi Burruss' husband, Todd Tucker's new docu-series, Hollywood Divas will premiere on Wednesday, October 8th at 10/9c on TV One Newtwork, and one of the lead stars is none other that former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Lisa Wu. Watch the official trailer below, as well as cast bios, photos etc!

via TV One's Press Release:

In Hollywood, it's not called "show friends" - it's "show biz" and actresses Golden Brooks (Girlfriends), Countess Vaughn (The Parkers), Lisa Wu (Real Housewives of Atlanta), Paula Jai Parker (Hustle and Flow) and Elise Neal (The Hughleys) show us just how unkind Hollywood can be. Whether it's being blackballed for marrying a powerful director's production assistant or hating the way you look because you were once told that you're overweight and undesirable as a child star, there's nothing friendly about these ladies' journeys in Hollywood.

"Just when you think that there's nothing new under the sun with female ensemble reality shows, a cast comes along that is unlike any on TV," said D'Angela Proctor, SVP of Programming and Production. "These women are bearing it all and showing a vulnerable side of themselves that we've never seen."

With such a strong cast, TV One tapped THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA showrunner, Carlos King, along with Todd Tucker, to executive produce.

"Get the popcorn ready and enjoy this treat because Hollywood Divas is going to change the way the world views Black women on reality television," said King, Executive Producer. "These divas are fierce, fabulous and ferocious when it comes to their craft and the world will be stunned when they realize what it takes to be a Black actress in Hollywood. Let the games begin."

Throughout the 10 episode series, we'll see just how challenging it is to break out from the pack and carve a new path in Hollywood.

Golden Brooks, who, after co-starring on a long running series, has been hit with the reality that the game has changed. As a classically trained actress, Golden feels that reality stars do not take the craft seriously and are stealing roles from real actresses, such as herself.

Countess Vaughn has struggled with image and self-esteem issues for years and believes that her physical appearance has limited the type of parts she lands. In an attempt to revitalize her career, she turns to extreme cosmetic surgery in hopes that with a new body, the roles will soon follow.

Paula Jai Parker believes that she was shunned from Hollywood after marrying a production assistant she met on-set thereby resulting in her going from being a gainfully employed actress to homelessness. Paula, now the primary breadwinner of the family, must start from scratch in order to turn her professional life around and support her family.

Lisa Wu is in a constant battle to get the world to recognize her as more than just a former cast member of a hugely successful REALITY SHOW franchise and the ex-wife of singer/songwriter Keith Sweat and retired NFL player Ed Hartwell. Having landed small roles and produced several stage plays and films, Wu still struggles to earn respect.

Elise Neal has learned that sometimes you have to forge your own way in Hollywood and in doing so, you might not make many friends along the way. Nearing 50 with looks that rival most 20 year-olds, Elise reignites her sexy dance troop to show the world that she is a triple threat.

Hollywood Divas is produced by Tuckers' TTucker Productions and King's Kingdom REIGN Entertainment. Lamar Chase serves as Producer for TV One. Robyn Greene Arrington is Executive in Charge of Production for the network.

Hollywood Divas premieres on Wednesday, October 8th at 10/9c on TV One

Dina Manzo is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Dina Manzo explains why it was so difficult to keep quiet about the Rino rumor. Dina writes:

"Hello all,

So I'm not one to use these blogs to defend myself, but I'm totally going there this week!

First I must say I'm not that useless in the kitchen! I will admit since Lexi and I gave up meat five years ago, and since I found out I'm allergic to gluten and dairy, I HARDLY cook anymore. I prepare really simple, clean food, and to me that's not really cooking. There's no heavy sauces or casseroles in Casa d'Manzo. It's lots of veggies and rice and quinoa -- kind of boring, but I don't have a choice! I DID make that yummy kale salad with fresh fruit and hummus dressing that you saw being put down on the table in Florida, so there you go! But like I said, my table will always look gorgeous and you can learn how to do this yourself at dinaspartyschool.com!

OK on to the next... I looked a little chunkier than I actually am in Florida. Two reasons -- one I had given up my exercise routine for the past four months, because our winter was so brutal. I was so lazy and not inspired to leave the house other than to work. I know that's no excuse, but I kind of get the winter blues. I'm such a nature girl, if I can't hike or walk outside I tend to lose my mojo, and I certainly did this past winter. In my defense though, how I can I look anything but chunky next to these girls? They are all gym rats and in incredible shape. The twins are a freak of nature, and let me tell you, in person they don't have an ounce of cellulite on their bodies. It's just not normal, LOL! I'm going to post a bikini selfie this weekend just to show America I do take care of myself.

Now on to the "secret"... I was so torn on what to do with this info. My first instinct was of course to let the girls know that someone was talking about their mother. If someone was talking about my mom, I would want to know so I could rip their face off. Not very zen, huh? Say all you want about me, but mention my kid or my parents and all bets are off. It was really bugging me; I literally was told the night before we left for Florida, and I couldn't sleep at all. Every time we were having fun, the guilt that I wasn't saying anything to them was overwhelming all other emotions, and I seriously became obsessed with the fact that I needed to tell them.

I was surprised TerEsa didn't want to hear it and right away. I was like, OK, Dina, shut your mouth, and so I did. It was a lose-lose for me... I've learned that there's actually a term in therapy for the position I was put in! Learn more on my after party on dinamanzo.com about what to do when put in this position and how you can handle it in a healthy way. I so wish I had this info before I went to Florida!

Next week's episode is a doozy, and I can tell you I haven't cried like this is a VERY long time. As a sensitive empath and pisces, I absorb feelings around me, and let me tell you the range of emotions in that house was overwhelming! There was anger, sadness, frustration, fear, envy, sorrow, and on and on. Everyone had someone there to support them but me, and it was something I hope I never have to experience again... Like I said, Scary Island ain't got nothin' on Jersey."

What do you think about Dina’s blog?

Jacqueline Laurita sat down exclusively with Bravotv.com to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Jacqueline Laurita shares her current relationship status with Dina Manzo and Teresa Giudice, check out Jacqueline had to say below!

Bravotv.com: How much progress has Nick made since we saw him last season?
Jacqueline Laurita: Nick can now request pretty much all his needs verbally in 3-4 word sentences. He reads and spells pretty well. He can repeat and label most things. He can answer a few specific questions he was trained to answer, like what his name is, how old he is, and where he lives. He can eat with utensils again. His eye contact has improved a great deal. He’s more engaged. He is not conversational yet, but I believe it’s coming. He can dress and undress himself. He brushes his teeth. He is starting to recognize and say other family members' names. You should hear him say Aunt Caroline.

Bravotv.com: What's your current relationship with Dina like?
JL: Currently there is no relationship between us, but only because she chooses not to have one. It’s frustrating because I feel like it's all petty, nonsense stuff, that all just seems silly and unimportant to me. I have other, more important things to focus on, although, I’m always open to reconciliation with people that are willing and sincere. My husband is probably the most hurt by Dina. Maybe one day we can heal as a family like the Gorgas and Giudices did. Miracles have happened on #RHONJ. All it takes is for both parties to want it at the same time and be sincere about wanting it. (That’s the key.)

Bravotv.com: Have you been in touch with Teresa since your text message exchange?
JL: I saw her at Joe’s father’s wake and we hugged each other. Other than that, we have only had a few exchanges and her responses to my texts were always pleasant but cold, short, and non-engaging. I’m totally OK with that now. I worry about her and her family, but I only want true, caring, supportive friends and real, sincere people in my circle. I still wish her and her family peace and happiness, but I’ve realized that she doesn’t have the qualities of a friend that I want in my life right now. I’ve let go.

Bravotv.com: Have you moved into a new home yet?
JL: Nope! We've had a lot of lookers but no takers. For now, we're going to keep it up for sale. Who knows, we might just have to stay here? LOL! Whatever is meant to be, will be.

A caller asked Gorga if she believed the rumor about Rino. “No. I 100% do not believe it, and if you’ve ever met her she’s the sweetest, nicest lady,” Melissa says. “And the family has such a tight bond… They are such a great family, they love each other. There’s no tension, obviously I think there would be some tension [if it were true]. It’s a disgusting, ridiculous rumor and it’s 100% untrue.” Transcribed by AllThingsRH

Bar One Lounge has found a new home, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey and her husband, Peter, have nailed down a new location for the hotspot, she recently revealed. Bar One will now move to a new space in downtown Atlanta on Auburn Ave, she told Access Atlanta, after its current location closes at the end of the month.

However, she notes it might be a little while before anyone can hang out there. "The new place we have to totally gut and redo," she said, revealing it will be two or three months before it opens.

The lounge had to move after the couple announced the current space would shut down. "We had a lot of problems," she said. "It's a residential neighborhood and people didn't like the music and cars. People were always complaining. The sad thing is Bar One had been doing extremely well. People loved it. It had become a tourist attraction."

At one point, Bar One was in danger of shuttering, but Peter and Cynthia previously hashed out their financial issues on RHOA. This year, Bailey and her husband tried to buy the current spot, on Grant Park, but it went to someone else, she said.

Bar One is just one of the properties the couple has a hand in. Back in August, they opened Sports One in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Wendy Williams has made no bones about hiding her negative feelings for NeNe Leakes and other Housewives, but during her chat fest that aired yesterday, she heaped praise upon Kim, her family, and her show Don't Be Tardy.

"This is the cutest family on TV," Wendy gushed, after watching a marathon of episodes this weekend. "I just think this is the way you do reality TV, without cussing, fighting and wig pulling. She adores Kroy. But he loves her a little bit more than she loves him—and that's the way it's supposed to be."

Wendy isn't a newbie when it comes to Kim. She's watched her ever since she was on Real Housewives of Atlanta and the host likes how Kim has evolved from her "Big Papa" days of yore.

"We remember [seeing her] dating married men, she was just kind of loose-ish, in our minds," Wendy said. "She had these two daughters...and we were there when Kim met Kroy. He has that NFL career. And he adopted the daughters, then they went on and had four children together. It's a beautiful family. And there's no wig pulling!"

Wendy did admit that some old characteristics of Kim shine through—and she's just fine with that. "You still see [old] Kim, with the wine...and she talks like a sailor!"

Melissa Gorga is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Melissa Gorga dishes on all the craziness from the girls' trip and weights in on her husband's Joe Gorga's "babysitting". Melissa writes:

"Hi Dolls!

Such a great time on WWHL with Andy last night. Joe and I always have a blast and love being there. The Bravo family is such a great family to be a part of and the WWHL Clubhouse feels like we are just hanging out in our living room. I wanted to just take a second to say thank you to the people who always support me, Joe, and our family. We appreciate you and we feel the love. We haven't let this whole "Reality TV" thing take over our lives and we never will. I see your emails, your tweets, and your letters and I have so much gratitude for all of you. We give you our good and our bad and I know you appreciate it. We love you back. Xoxo!

I thought seeing the girls' trip was so much fun! That's what I love watching! Girls uncensored with a little wine! Come on, we are all a little nosey or Reality TV would not be here, so to be able to hear the little secrets we talk about when the men and children aren't around was hilarious too me. And yes Dina, I work out hard after having three babies and my reward is feeling comfortable in my bathing suit. And girl, I still don't understand that peeing thing! OMG! Do I live under a rock?! Everyone seems to know but me!

I loved cooking for everyone. Nicole and I each picked a couple dishes to make and Teresa and Dina helped out, but were more than happy to let us take the reins. You can see when I cook I get in the zone. I was quiet and enjoying my glass of wine while making a nice meal. What's better than that? I think by now everyone knows that "tipsy" Melissa is one of the best versions of me, LOL! I’m a happy drunk! It's hard to piss me off when I’ve had a couple! I love life, I love people, and I love enjoying good times together with girlfriends! Especially in a beautiful house in Boca! "Tipsy Melissa" is my spirit animal. So eat, drink, and be merry!

Joe "baby sitting" was so funny. I always wondered what goes on when I’m not home. Now I know! Joe is such an amazing father; the way my children look at him makes me smile. He's the fun Dad. I keep everyone in check and he comes home and it's, "Daddyyy!" Sometimes that drives me nuts, because I do a lot of the disciplining and he gets all the glory, but I get it. He provides an incredible life for them and they respect him for that so much. I'm lucky that I found a guy that’s an amazing husband and a great father too. Blessed. The bond between Antonia and Joe is special, I loved hearing their little talk. The first day she was born he said he was going to put bars on the windows! She is truly his princess -- she has him wrapped around her little finger. It's so cute. I’m proud of the little girl she is growing into. She's sweet, smart, loving, and happy. But I agree with Joe -- I also want to break the internet!

It was also good to see Jacqueline and Kathy catching up. I love to watch Nicholas with Jammin’ Jenn. To see his progress is truly touching. Jacqueline is so devoted to making sure Nicholas gets access to the best resources. And we got a glimpse of Kathy’s new home! I know that she has been looking to build her dream kitchen for some time. It looks like it’s going to be beautiful. Congrats, Kathy!

Onto that terrible rumor. At this point of the episode I still have no idea what anyone is talking about. I get that the twins have two different perspectives on wanting to hear what the rumor is. I would want to know, but everyone has the right to deal with things in their own way. Tune in next week to see how they do find out."

Kathy Wakile sat down exclusively with Bravotv.com to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Kathy Wakile brings us up to speed on her new house and her relationship with Teresa Giudice., check out Kathy had to say below!

Bravotv.com: What's the latest with Rich and the kids?
Kathy Wakile: Rich has his hands full these days between traveling with me to promote my newly released dessert cookbook, Indulge, and overseeing every detail for our new home construction -- not to mention the other projects that he’s always working on. I think he’s going to need a vacation soon. Victoria and Joseph are back to school. Victoria is feeling great and piled on a bunch of classes to her schedule. This year is her third year at college, and she's determined to finish this part of her degree in her four year term. Joseph is busy juggling his new status as a bio major during his freshman year at college. Over the summer Rich kept Victoria and Joseph busy by enrolling them in real estate school, and thankfully they both are managing to adjust well to getting back to school full time and working part time (while maintaining a very active social calendar). I wonder where they got that from…

Bravotv.com: What inspired you to build the new house? What's your favorite feature? Have you moved in yet?
KW: Rich has been after me for over fifteen years to move to a bigger house, but honestly I couldn’t even think about it until my kids finished high school. They had such a great experience growing up with the same friends from grade school, and I didn’t want to disturb that for them. However, since they have decided to stay local for college and to continue living at home, they each need their own space. They grew up surrounded by family and friends in our home, and they followed through with the love to entertain. Whether it's with our family or their now adult friends, our home has always been the hub. And I love it! It’s what I live for. My dinner table can go from four to fourteen at any given seating, so I designed my home to revolve around the kitchen with a very open floor plan. Every room leads back to the heart of my home, the kitchen. We haven’t moved in yet, there’s still so much to do, but we are happy enjoying each step of the process.

Bravotv.com: How has your relationship with Teresa been?
KW: My relationship with Teresa is pretty much where we left things off. She is going through a lot right now, and her time is focused on her husband and children as it should be. I am respecting her wishes and praying for a positive outcome for them all.

When the ladies of Mob Wives fight – they just don't fight, they go to war! It's not official but seems like original cast member Karen Gravano! Reason is; she's been seen hanging out with some of the Mob Wives cast lately and earlier this week, Natalie posted tweets about Karen refusing to film with with her and the two got into a Twitter beef. Seems like alliances will be tested because Big Ang reportedly tried to attack Renee Graziano recently!

The NY Daily News is reporting that at an upscale sports bar in Chelsea, was broken when the cast of the reality show “Mob Wives” ran amok while filming there last week.

An insider tells Confidenti@l that bouncers had to step in when the VH1 show’s formidable, 6-foot-tall star, Angela (Big Ang) Raiola, suddenly went on a rampage and tried to attack fellow cast member Renee Graziano.

“Big Ang went psycho,” we’re told. “Renee literally ran out of the place. “I would run out, too — (Big Ang) is scary!”, said the source. “She was screaming at Karen Gravano and Renee, calling them ‘rats’.”

“It was a shock because Big Ang is so sweet — she’s really not a fighter. Renee must have really upset her. Karen got in the way, and she was tossed like a feather by Ang. Even the bouncers were having trouble controlling her, and the producers didn’t try — why would they?”

“Eventually Drita D’Avanzo managed to calm her down, and in the end nobody was hurt — there was just a lot of running and smeared makeup and spray tans,” said the source. “But the whole thing made a real scene in the restaurant.”

The series, which follows several wives and daughters of mafiosi, is shooting its fifth season, which is expected to premiere in December.

Big Ang and reps for VH1 and the Ainsworth declined to comment.

Looks like this season is going to be an explosive one, can't wait for December!

Real Housewives of Melbourne's newest cast member is currently busy filming the newest seaon of the Foxtel hit reality show. but Gamble Breaux always takes time out in the name of charity and giving back. The reality star is 'doing it in a dress' by donning a school uniform to raise money for girls' education.

'We wear the school dresses as a statement to try and gain support by donation to get young African girls access to education,' Gamble told Daily Mail Australia.

'It is essential for every child to have a proper education to maximise their opportunities in life, which otherwise might be denied them.'

The sexy blonde is hoping her Do It In A Dress 4km beach walk will see people join her and her dog Cash on the walk to help raise money.

'With any luck our Do It in A Dress Dog walk for the kids will be successful,' she said. 'I have bought Cash, my dog, a school dress!'

Speaking about her role in the upcoming new series of Real Houswives , Gamble says she's a little worried about how she might come across on screens.

'It's been a rollercoaster ride filming,' she said. 'The girls are all fabulous. I'm getting on with some better than others.

'I feel very comfortable interacting with the girls. You forget the cameras are there. On reflection, I don't feel that comfortable about the way I have behaved in front of the cameras.'

Gamble isn't the only new face after the departure of Andrea Moss - Pettifleur Berenger will also be joining the show.

Dress to impress: Do It In A Dress event is on September 28 http://www.doitinadress.com/gamble-breaux

The Real Housewives of New York City star LuAnn de Lesseps is prepping a new line for her Countess LuAnn Collection. "Busy working on the Fall collection of The Countess Collection Styled for Living. Can't wait for you to see it. Will be on Shop HQ again in October! xo," she wrote on Facebook on Monday. However she kept any other details, like when it might be available for purchase, a secret.

Post by Countess LuAnn de Lesseps.

The Countess launched the fashion line earlier this year. Back in May, she revealed what fans should expect from the line, filled with eye-popping prints, including leopard and zebra, as well as easy-to-wear dresses and work-friendly blouses. "[It's] chic made easy. These are the clothes I wear everyday," she said.

At the time, she also spoke about her love for Michael Kors and why she thought her fans might want to purchase the Countess-approved looks. "I created a line women shouldn’t live without. These items can stand alone or be mixed into an existing wardrobe. With this collection you know you are dressed right for the occasion. And most are priced under $100," she said.

She added, "I wanted to launch a sportswear collection: three dresses, three pairs of pants, three blouses and a cropped jacket. The on-trend collection of figure-flattering and easy-to-mix-and-match styles features a signature swirl pleated jersey dress with a hint of stretch in my favorite vivid pastels and prints, jewel-toned cut-out and animal print sheaths, the perfect cropped jacket, lace pants, a classic stretch ponte slim leg black pant and beautiful printed sheer tops."
