Camille Grammer Not Returning to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

There are rumors circulating that Camille Grammer has decided not to return for the third season of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

"She's been in discussions and at the end decided she wasn't willing to expose her personal life anymore," a source reveals to People Magazine.  "She's in a great place in her life right now.  She's grown a lot in this past year and she's made some wonderful friendships [on the show]."

I hope this is just a rumor!  Fans have really gotten to know the real Camille this season and everyone loves her!

UPDATE


Camille Grammer spoke to Us Weekly, basically confirming the rumor.  "I can't say too much at this moment, but we couldn't get it worked out,"  she explained.  "I love these girls.  I really do.  I've had so much fun with the franchise, but I guess the producers and I couldn't come to an agreement."

Camille's co-stars do not want to see her go either.  "It's sad,"  Adrienne Maloof said.  "Together the six of us were a great combo."  Kyle Richards adds, "It's going to be sad not having her on the show.  It's sad."

Kim Zolciak Expecting Her Second Child With Kroy Biermann

Congratulations to Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann who announced that they are expecting their second child together!  Less than a year after their first son, KJ, was born, the happy couple is pregnant with another baby... and they are thrilled!

"Kroy and I are so excited," the thirty-three-year-old Real Housewives of Atlanta star revealed to Life & Style.  "To decide we wanted to get pregnant again and have it happen so quickly was such a blessing."

"With KJ, it was an 'opps' kind of thing, but this time was totally planned," Kim tells the magazine.  "We wanted to get through the wedding, but as soon as we got married it was game on.  We got pregnant the month after!"

Dana Wilkey has called off her engagement with businessman John Flynn.  Flynn was not shown on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but the couple had been together for six years and have a two-year-old son together.

"My fiance and I have decided to go our separate ways," Dana told Life & Style.  "We realized that we've become more friends than romantic partners.  It's better for us to break up and concentrate on our son right now."

It's no surprise to fans that most of the drama this season will be centered around Teresa Giudice.  Teresa spoke to People Magazine about what went down on and off camera.  "I am still saddened by what transpired," she said.  "There are a lot of hurtful and shocking moments."

"I live in the moment," she says of herself.  "And nobody is perfect.  We all make mistakes and in retrospect there are times where I would have handled a situation differently.  That said, I live by a strong set of morals and family values and if I am being attacked I will stick up for myself.  I am a strong woman and it is important for me to defend my character if it is being assassinated.  It was very difficult to go through and especially hurtful when family is involved."

Will Bravo Add Real Housewives of Dallas to the Franchise?

Reality Tea reports sources have confirmed that Bravo is expanding the Housewives franchise by adding the Real Housewives of Dalls.  The source told Reality Tea "filming will start in August and the show is supposed to air in early 2013."

Bravo is trying to keep the new series a secret, but the Reality Tea insider confirms that the cast finalized and signed their contracts two weeks ago.  They say that the Dallas series "is surely going to be a wreck and different from all the other shows Bravo has had."

But is it really true?  Just last June Andy Cohen was quoted saying there would not be a Housewives franchise in Texas.  "We've tried to mount a Texas [incarnation], but we never hit the nail on the head with casting."

Could Bravo have found the right women in just nine months?  Here's a list of the rumored cast:

Reality Tea

Rhonda Aikman: ex-wife of Troy Aikman, former Dallas Cowboys Quarterback; mother of three

Diane Gibby: plastic surgeon; wife of Rod Rohrich, who is also a plastic surgeon; creator of Women's Center for Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery at Medical City; mother of two

Deziree Ramirez: fiance of Cody Harris; former International Model; has appeared in Playboy and Maxim; mother of three (two of which are adopted); heiress and granddaughter of the founder of Cache

Tiffany Mullen: wife of Mike Mullen; former International Model; mother of one/step-mother of two

Lisa Trout, a former rumored castmember, released a statement to Reality Tea saying:  "I have been apprised of a report including me in the cast of the 'Real Housewives of Dallas.'  While I am familiar with the Bravo series, this information is completely erroneous.  I am in no way associated with 'Real Housewives of Dallas' or Andy Cohen.  I wish the show- and the ladies in the cast- much success."

Guest Blog: Bethenny Ever After Episode 4

Bravo

It was not a night full of laughs more... of a night full of self reflection and harsh reality for Bethenny and Jason.
 
Bethenny is really struggling with being labeled as the bad guy and she wants a change. Some of the people closest with Bethenny are telling her that isn't her anymore because she is making an effort to change. They're suggesting maybe Jason has issues he's struggling with and that therapy may allow him to work on the issues and understand why he is taking it out on her. She thinks she has become almost obsessive with her relationship and wonders if Jason thinks about it too.
 
It was a lot of work, work, work!!!! Work on the apartment has turned frustrating! Marc the architect can't get a response from the intertior designers and so when Bethenny meets with Marc she then has to call the designers and ends up telling them basically what needed to be done to move forward. Her hiring the best should mean that they can communicate and make things happen. Jason ends up calling Bethenny when she meets with the interiior designers and over speaker phone chews them out saying that the lack of communication is unacceptable and everyone needs to be sticking to the timeline. Thankfully answers were given and all seems to have been smoothed over for the time being. 
 
More work... Bethenny meets with a web design team to create her new Skinny Girl website that reflects her and is a "world within a world" where fans can talk to each other about everything. When Bethenny asks what Skinny Girl means to the web designers they give her some general answers and seemed to just in a round about way to say they loved her and her brand and how happy they were to be the designers. Bethenny simply said " I don't need you to love me and tellme how great I am. I just need you to do exactly what I'm telling you I want it to do."
 
Before the web designers arrived Bethenny had a heart to heart with Julie and Jackie. She expressed that communication should improve so that business could improve and have a little clean up. She also asked both if they planned to be in New York for the long haul and then emotions started running especially with Julie. I think she's beginning to want to branch out maybe do her own thing but she doesn't want Bethenny to think she isn't being loyal to her however Bethenny reassures her that she would never think that and I think after watching their relationship and Julie being Bryn's godmother, that would never happen. Julie is wanting to know what she wants next in life yet she doesn't know and then she gets frustrating and shuts down, much like we have seen Bethenny do over the years. All Bethenny wants is what is best for Julie and Jackie because if it is right for them it will be right for Skinny Girl and Bethenny.

Bravo

Do to all the stress Bethenny has been feeling she decides to go see a chiropractor. it ends up that they have met before and while he is asking her health questions to determine what he may be able to do for her she asks questions back at him. "Do you sleep well? Are you married? I'm going to set you up with my friend after this. Do you want to tell me about your history then?" He really was a "tough nut to crack." He was not playing into Bethenny and her joking he was a serious and wanting to do his job well. Surprise...not! He ends up telling her she needs to slow down! "I get it Doc. I need to take a vacation but crack my damn back."
 
Hghlight of the night was Bethenny gets a girls night out with her friend Veronica while Jason has Brynn and Cookie at his parents for a visit. The coversation turns to Jason and some issues and how the second year of marriage is harder and how the farting begins. Bethenny being Bethenny takes this oppurtunity to ask the bartender some questions and learns he has a wife that he does not fart in front of. "What do you do? Take one of the corks from a bottle and stick it up your ass and pray for the best?" "He understands suffering for romance."
 
So it has been decided Bethenny and Jason are going to go with Dr. Amador out to sea for the relationship workshop. During therapy Bethenny discusses the unlying theme of the whole episode, Jason's birthday fiasco. She had planned for him and his best friend to go golfing and she and Jason had a romantic dinner and then at the end of the weekend he tells her she should have included his parents because it was his fortieth birthday. This is after he had acknowledged always being negative towards her and that he would never do it again. He tells her she should have involved his parents right before they went to bed and that really bothered her because he would go right to sleep but she would end up awake for hours obsessing and worrying over it. She was extremely hurt by this and had a really hard time recovering from it. She's feeling as though she is putting so much energy into the relationship and being someone she isn't and that because she has failed so much in her past that everything must be her fault. She thinks Jason is not where he thought he would be in work and resents that it is all Bethenny. However she can not change that and doens't know what to do becasue she told him how it would be in the beginning of relationship and he was fine with it. In the public we see Jason being the supportive husband but in the home he is not like that and she's feeling alone and like she is going insane. She continues to try and reduce the fighting between them and Dr. Amador says that speaks volumes of how committed she is to her family and Jason and anyone watching this season can see she definately is.
 
The morning Bethenny and Jason are suppose to leave for the relationship workshop they end up in another fight about his birthday weekend and Bethenny has had it. She wants Jason to take 50% responsibility for the relationship and wishes when she tried to discuss their issues or her concerns he would want to as well. He finally asks her if everyone thinking he is such a perfect husband bothers her so much and she tells him that it does. So he walks away saying, "I'm done. It's not worth it to me."
 
It was a horrible and emotional ending to a very heavy episode but we get the results of the fight next week!!

Does Gretchen Rossi Consider Herself a Celebrity?

"Reality stars are the most fleeting type of celebrity out there,"  Gretchen Rossi says in her interview with Socialite Life.  "I don’t see myself as a celebrity. I see myself as a young, hard-working woman that took advantage of an opportunity. It trips me out a little, and I’m flattered of course, but I remind everyone that I’m just like them. I’m just excited that I’m able to possibly empower other people to do something good in their lives or create something new."

It was another night of laughs but tears in the end.

First off, I love Dwayne!!! Bethenny's driver is so funny, so hot, and so perfect as a car companion for Bethenny. She says she takes a joke or humor over work and then beats herself up for it, personally I think with your driver it's totally fine. Seriously Dwayne called her a "Pitbull in a skirt", and she definitely is. It's a compliment!! He is HYSTERICAL!!! I'm so glad Bethenny found him because he seriously makes car ride talks on lingerie, baby wipes, hustling, boob sizes a great time and he's always keeping it real "100%" of the time.


Back in Montauk for the annual Skinny Girl party. It seemed like matchmaking was the business and not alcohol. Bethenny pairs Matt her business partner in Skinny Girl Nutritional with Julie's sister Jonnie. "Hot + Hot = Hotter. Hot people like each other." They seem to really hit it off and the next morning when Bethenny asks her if she likes her cards or wants a new hand Jason steps in to say that if he had said that in a group she would have called him a pig. Bethenny explains that there's a lot of arguing or nit picking because they haven't been together long enough to just say "oh my God he's a pain in the ass or oh this is how he is I'll just deal with it". The bickering gives Julie anxiety; it gives all us viewers anxiety as well because we love them together so much that watching them argue is physically painful. But they do love each other and make up and Bethenny tells Dwayne that she tortures herself but Jason is the one who gets tortured. She doesn't know if her career is good for her even though she's good at it because it makes her crazy and stressed. I feel that is life and work and if you are good at something you should run with it and take it far. Bethenny has taken her brand very far and continues to grow; she is a true inspiration to women everywhere.

Bravo

 
Jason and Bethenny do get alone time so they take a boat out and spend the day together. What I want to know is how the hat stayed on Bethenny's head during the boat ride. The brim is flopping around like crazy and never once did she hold on or say "oh I hope my hat doesn’t fly off!" What was it glued down or something?? Everyone else wearing that hat would have lost it or died trying to keep it on.
 
Back to reality, Jason and Bethenny begin the renovations of their new apartment. Bethenny still can not believe that they really are moving into this great apartment that they own. She thinks it is too good to be true that we could buy something and have a place to own and make memories in. "Part of me feels like a baller!" When Jason says "you deserve it mama" Bethenny corrects him by saying "we" it was a nice moment that made me think isn't it great to see that Bethenny is making a conscious effort to include Jason like that.

Bravo

 
She wants the apartment to be something they both love and are both proud of, She's also making a conscious effort to have Jason feel "like his stamp is on our home." She is still all about the closet! "I want a closet I want to be able to see all of my stuff. Maybe not have my shoes on top of my underwear" What woman doesn’t want a huge closet to see all their stuff, a women's best friend may be diamonds but the shoes are a definite very close 2nd best friend. 
The contractor expresses his concerns and admits he is nervous to do a 6 month job in the 3 months Bethenny and Jason have to be out of their current apartment. A little spoiler, Bethenny has revealed the apartment still isn't done, good luck Bethenny!

Bravo

 
Apparently Grandma and Grandpa have come for a visit and they have put Bryn in a sandbox! OMG I even freaked at that one. It's not just sandboxes in Manhattan Bethenny, it is sandboxes anywhere that are like urinals, so gross! However Bethenny decides a little Sangria in the middle of the day for her and Julie is needed, so fun! They have a toast to the "original crew" of just Bethenny and Julie in an apartment. Julie says she misses it a bit because it used to be easier just because it was the two of them. Although she does admit she probably could not have done this job as long as she has because there was never a time when Bethenny did not want to work and now that she has Jason and Bryn she looks forward to weekends and hopes she doesn't hear from Julie. This takes me back when Bethenny and Bryn first arrived in Montauk and she took Bryn out to play in the sprinklers, being mindful it could not be long because Bryn did not have sunscreen on. I can not get enough of Bethenny being a mom. I always thought I could never picture her in the mom role because she is so career minded but it really makes her glow and if she lost everything tomorrow I do not think it would destroy her like it may have a few years ago because she is so happy in her role as a mom and a wife.
 
However being a wife has brought its challenges this season. Dr. Amador brings up the idea of this Relationship Renewal Workshop that he has and explains that the couples have to work together not only as a couple but also as a crew.  They spend hundreds of miles at sea and decisions have to be made and prepare for adversity. He explains it is like preparing for marriage, you have to throw away the idealized images you have to make marriage work and what actually needs to happen to have it work. Bethenny is open minded to going but when she brings it up to Jason he really is not. He is concerned he might not like what Dr. Amador has to say because he thinks everyone can work it out for themselves and does not need therapy and that therapists can say things about you that you may not like to hear. He says, "We are two different people and we look at things differently." Bethenny understands that and assures him she is not trying to change him but he isn't so sure. She says she has made big strides in the areas of money, family, and religion but he also feels he's made similar strides. Her problem is communication and feels that Jason won't communicate with her the same way he does at home. She says he thinks she picks every battle and she's always wrong and he does everything right. Jason thinks an apology is never enough for her she keeps going. She expresses that he always says "omg here we go" at the beginning of a brewing argument making her feel crazy and I can understand that but the simple conversation turned into an argument, "it happens a lot lately."
 
It was another sad ending to a great episode and from watching the previews for next week, it looks like the sad and frustrating times continue.

Fran Drescher Against Aviva Drescher Doing Housewives

Zimbio

Fran Drescher, cousin of one of the Real Housewives of New York City newcomers, will be a guest tonight on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live.  This is interesting because Fran didn't seem to be too hip with the idea of Aviva Drescher joining the cast.  Here's what she said about it:

"I would never [do a reality show]. First of all, I don't like them.  It appeals to the lowest common denominator.  It's not really reality, because they have to have conflict in them to have people sitting there.  I've never flipped a table in my life.  I'm scared to admit it, but one of my cousins is one of the new Housewives of New York."

How Would Cynthia Have Handled NeNe's Situation With Bryson?

Bravo

"As a mother myself, if my child committed a small, stupid, low-level crime and ended up in jail, I would want to teach them a lesson for sure," Cynthia explains in her Bravo blog. However, I would never want my child in a situation that could be dangerous or even fatal. I would worry myself to death! I believe in tough love, but I guess you really don't know how you will react until you are actually put in that situation. My heart really went out to NeNe, because I knew what she was going through. She was very conflicted, because even though Bryson is a young man, he is still her baby.  I'm just glad Bryson is OK, and I hope he learned his lesson. If he goes back again, Lord help him, because NeNe may just call the judge herself and tell him to keep him in there!"

Tamra Responds to Slade's Comedy Skit

Bravo

"Slade's stand up brings mixed emotions for me since things with Gretchen are so much better this year. The battle between me, Gretchen, Slade, and Vicki has been going on for years and it is by far not one sided. I don't like the fact that Slade is acting like the victim, as if our "accusations" ruined his life. He is just as much to blame. His stand up is a perfect example of the things that have happened to put a wedge in our friendship through out the years. I am not condoning any of what has gone on between us. We were all to blame for this long and hurtful fight. We are all responsible for our own actions. I was just hoping that when me and Gretchen started patching things up that Slade would lay off a little. I guess it is going to take him some time to get to that point?

I actually felt sorry for Gretchen, you could see on her face that she was not happy that Slade went against her wishes. I know it caused a lot of problems between everyone. I'm sure it did with them too. The big questions is "Why weren't Vicki and I invited?' I think we all know the answer to that question! On the flipside, I know he was doing stand-up comedy and I have yet to see a comedian that isn't ripping on someone just to get a laugh. . .but I didn't hear much laughing going on that night! I think Slade's mom should have been on stage. She cracks me up.

One thing that I don't like is when men degrade woman about their looks. No one is perfect. So many woman are insecure and battle eating disorders and have plastic surgery because they have been put down by men. NO COOL!"

US Weekly reports that the famous couple agreed to joint custody of their children Mason, 10, and Jude, 7 (not pictured).  The Grammer kids will remain in California living with their mother and will maintain "meaningful contact" with their father.
