Alexis Bellino: Dating Andy Bohn! Expecting a Baby?!

Now that former The Real Housewives of Orange County star Alexis Bellino is divorced , what comes next? We have our answer: ol’ Jesus Jugs is dating again. On Super Bowl Sunday, Alexis showed off her team spirit — and her new boyfriend! See why fans are asking if she’s pregnant. Alexis Bellino is not being subtle about her new man — or about where her football team loyalties lie. Posing alongside boyfriend Andy Bohn, she made it clear which side she supported. “RAMS Fam here @acbohn #loveisintheair #myforever” It’s always nice to see someone rooting against the New England Patriots (even for me, and I don’t follow sports). It’s not technically a surprise, as many find that their loyalties are with the team geographically closest to where they live. The L.A. Rams are going to claim lots of loyalty on the West Coast. Fans paid more attention to her declaration of affection for Andy Bohn. And they could not help but notice his hand placement. A hand over someone’s belly is almost a universal sign for pregnancy or thoughts about pregnancy. Naturally, nosey fans asked Alexis if she was eating Super Bowl snacks for two. “No I’m not preggers,” Alexis replied. Well, that’s good to know. So why are their hands placed the way that they are? “He is holding my hand,” she clarified. However, she then dropped a bombshell. “But,” Alexis wrote. “We wouldn’t mind one more in the future.” Over time, she apparently grew fatigued with some of the less positive remarks, as she added to the captions of both images: “Positive Vibes only,” Alexis implored her fans and followers. “No negative comments please.” There were additional negative comments. “Fans” love to jump to conclusions. “Heard he’s a married man,” wrote one follower, clearly aiming to shame Alexis. “Shame,” the follower continued. “And thought you were miss religious.” The name Jesus Jugs has stuck with Alexis, through the years, for better or for worse. Alexis wanted to clear up the misunderstanding. “Was married,” she clarified. “In middle of divorce.” Speaking of being in the middle of a divorce, Alexis had to go through all of that last year. She split from her longtime husband, Jim Bellino. Alexis adn Jim share 12-year-old son James and 11-year-old twin daughters, Melania and Mackenna. (We feel genuine pity for Melania, whose parents could never have known how infamous her otherwise beautiful name would one day become) Alexis is 42 years old. She could give birth at this age, but it would not be without its risks. Divorce is never fun, and neither Alexis nor Jim had an easy time with it, despite efforts to keep things civil for the sake o the children. These days, both former spouses have moved on. Alexis is dating Andy Bohn. And Jim Bellino is trying to sue the pants off of Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador . Jim alleges that some offhand comments and some rumors that the two women shared during an appearance on a podcast were malicious. He says that they cost him $1 million worth of business, and that Tamra and Shannon had planned in advance to have that effect. Wow.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 9: First Emotional Look!

Lies! Betrayal! Heartbreak! And a brand new cast member! Bravo has unveiled the first trailer for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills… and let’s just say it isn’t short on drama. With Denise Richards on board and with rumors swirling that Lisa Vanderpump may be leaving the franchise, fans have been anxiously awaiting footage of new episodes to come. And none of it disappoints. At one point in this trailer, we hear Kyle Richards saying, “Someone is hellbent on getting this Dorit story out there,” while Vanderpump alleges: “They’re all trying to make me feel like a terrible person!” Elsewhere in this preview, Vanderpump tells Dorit Kemsley that she loves her — and then quickly points out, “Well, I actually don’t.” “I’m not going to say what a f-cking bitch she was,” Vanderpump remarks later on. “Up, I said it!” At whom is her anger director? It appears to be Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave or Kyle Richards, who seem to be on the outs with Vanderpump. In another scene, Vanderpump says Mellencamp Arroyave is “guilty by omission,” while holding up printed copies of her text messages. Lisa has said previously that she’ll be heavily involved in Season 9, but did add ominiously: “There are some parts I missed. And you’ll see why. ” Vanderpump will have at least one ally on Season 9, however.  Isn’t that right, Erika Girardi? “I kind of feel like the two of you are in cahoots,” we see her telling Kyle and Kemsley in this promo, adding to other castmates: “She doesn’t want to sit and pretend to be nice to someone who has f-cked her over. That’s not friendship, that’s bullshit.” “I’m not responsible for Lisa Vanderpump’s actions,” Kyle yells. On the professional front, Vanderpump will throw all of her time and effort into her restaurant as a way to cope with her brother’s death, while Richards will ponder the future of her Beverly Hills clothing store and also settle into her new home after sending 18-year-old daughter Sophia off to college. Rinna will wonder whether she wants to act again — and Denise Richards and Camille Grammar will both have weddings to plan. Grammer will also make her return felt by getting into an argument with Rinna over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh , telling her occasional rival: “I know what it feels like to be wrongfully accused.” Yup, Camille Grammer is gonna stand up for Brett Kavanaugh. Does this all sound dramatic enough for you? Just wait until Brandi Glanville and Kim Richards both make appearances! “Cheers, bitch,” Glanville says, toasting Denise. “That’s a lie,” Kim yells at Denise in one fight. “I’m done.” The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 9 premieres Tuesday, February 12 at 9/8c on Bravo.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Who Called Shannon Beador Out?

With The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 in the can, there’s one thing that’s become abundantly clear about the most recent season: Shannon Beador does not like any of the new additions to the cast. If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , you already know the long-term cast member blatantly ignores Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter whenever they try to talk to her.  Gina claimed on Sunday’s reunion show that Shannon is “an open book of bulls–t.” Gina was tired of the back and forth with Shannon and felt like the recently single housewife was lying about everything, all while putting on a show for the cameras.  According to Gina, Shannon called her up and said the following: “I have a history of not remembering things, and I’m in a custody case, and I’m afraid that I’m gonna lose my children. I wanna know what was said.” As you may recall, Gina was the one who told Shannon what was said about her after her meltdown in Jamaica. That thinly veiled attempt at finding a friend while throwing another under the bus did not go unnoticed, and Shannon assumed Tamra Judge was the person talking about her.  Gina said during the reunion that she even offered to bring up the comments in front of the other woman to prove she was telling the truth but added that Shannon told her to leave it.  Andy Cohen interjected and asked whether that was the truth, but Shannon essentially called Gina a liar.  “Yes, you did! You’re lying!” Gina screamed, adding: “Maybe it’s your selective memory? All I know is that you told me you were gonna lose your kids, and I felt bad for you and told you what was said.” “I was in the middle of a divorce. There was no custody issue then!” Shannon fired back. “I’m going through a custody issue now. Don’t put words in my mouth!” “DON’T SAY WORDS! YOU ARE AN OPEN BOOK OF BULLSHIT!” Gina yelled back. “IT IS RIDICULOUS! PAGES AND PAGES! NOBODY WANTS TO READ IT ANYMORE!” “I was just trying to help you!” Gina continued. “All your friends talked about you being mentally ill on that trip.” Kelly Dodd and Vicki Gunvalson went on to say that everyone deals with things differently. Maybe they were trying to throw some support Shannon’s way, or something, but it fell flat.  Tamra then chimed in and stood up for her former BFF. She felt like Gina should not have said anything about it because Shannon was recovering for surgery and not in the best state of mind.  “I am sorry I brought it up. Shannon, I promise you I feel bad for you,” Gina said in response. “I really do. And I promise you, on a level, I understand what you’re going through.” “I’m sorry. I’m really not trying to make a problem for anybody, and anybody who knows me knows I don’t go with malice in my heart,” Gina continued.  “I feel terrible for you and what you’re going through. I’m going through it, too. It sucks. I promise you. I got my heart broken, too, okay? In my heart, at the time, I was just checking in. Looking back on it now, I think it was bad timing.” “I accept your apology,” said Shannon as though she had to force herself to say it.  Okay then.  What are your thoughts on the latest twists and turns?

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Who Called Shannon Beador Out?

Jim Bellino: Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge Set Out to RUIN My Business!

Jim Bellino’s intense lawsuit against Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge is still going strong. Newly revealed documents explain exactly how he believes they robbed him of his revenue. They also claim that Jim is certain that they intended to sabotage his business and ruin his life. The Blast   obtained and released court documents this week. In them, Jim Bellino claims that Shannon Beador  intentionally  disrupted his business relationships. “Shannon intended to disrupt those relationships” “and knew or should have known that disruption would result” “when she made the statements about Skyzone at issue in this case” “Disruption of those relationships has occurred” “as visitors who would otherwise regularly visit Skyzone no longer do because they have heard that ‘people get paralyzed’ there.” “In addition, I had the opportunity to purchase three trampoline parks before [Shannon]’s statements were made” He says that he was working with investors to make these purchases. When the investors ultimately backed out, he lost the opportunity, he claims, to make $1 million. He is laying the blame for this loss of potential income at the feet of Tamra and Shannon. We’re no experts on lawsuits (thankfully) or trampoline parks (again, thankfully), but here is what it looks like. Proving that attendance at his trampoline parks is down and specifically because of statements on a podcast … would be challenging. But it does sound like Jim Bellino needs to prove three major things to make his case. One, that Tamra and Shannon intended to sabotage his business. Two, that their actions — by which we mean discussing a few rumors on a podcast — pushed his potential investors to pull out. Three, that he really lost out on one million dollars as a result. He probably has the paperwork to illustrate that he missed out on $1 million, so that third one is probably a safe bet. Proving Shannon and Tamra’s intentions would require evidence that they planned this. That means  Tamra’s secret text messages  or finding something else to support his theory. Because you can’t prove someone’s intentions with nothing but suspicions. What’s going to be really interesting is that he may end up calling his would-be investors in to testify. Think about it this way: if he says that the investors backed out because of that podcast, he’ll need to prove it, right? If so, he may have to call upon them to testify. If he does not, we imagine that Tamra or Shannon’s attorneys might ask the investors themselves. if they say that it was something else, that could go a long way towards helping Shannon and Tamra out of this mess. This could end up blowing up in Jim’s face. That said, we’ll have to watch this suit play out in court before we know the results. Either side could surprise us all.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Twin Tweaks

Vick Gunvalson and Shannon Beador went under the knife.  Monday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County chronicled each of the two women’s cosmetic surgery procedures. Vicki went with a lower face and neck life, which was scheduled to last five hours. Yes, that’s a long time to go under the knife.  There was an especially scary moment at the top of the hour when Vicki was asked if she wanted to be resuscitated if her surgery went south.  “‘I do want to be resuscitated. I’ve got a lot of things to do this week,” she said with a grin in response.  You can always rely on the OG of the OC to throw in some comic relief to an otherwise serious scene.  The nurse went on to admit that the drugs could pose some side effects, and Vicki was not done making fun of it.  “It makes your hoo-ha buzz?” she quipped. “Because I’ve had so many surgeries, I kinda sorta know what the hoo-ha buzz is.” If you wanted to know what procedures Vicki had in the past, then she was all too happy to dish the goodies in a confessional.  She had work done on her chin, nose, tummy, eyes, and her breasts. We’re inclined to believe she already knew all about the side effects.  As for Shannon, she opted for an eye procedure because she wanted to look the best as she continued her return to the dating game.  Vicki woke up shortly after her procedure and continued to have some of the wittiest responses ever.  “Am I pretty? Do I look like Vicki?” she questioned. “Yeah you look like Vicki wrapped up in a towel,” Steve told her.  “And ten years younger,” yelled a nurse.  Steve then took the love of his life to the Monarch Beach Resort because she wanted to recover in luxury, but she was cautious that anyone laid eyes on her.  As for Shannon, she made her way home after the surgery and was visited by Kelly Dodd and Gina Kirshenheiter when she got home.  Things took an awkward turn when Gina started talking about the Jamaica trip, admitting that there was “a lot of talk about your mental health.” Gina continued to talk about it, even going as far as throwing Tamra under the bus for talking smack about her supposed friend.  Shannon seemed happy to know what was being said but admitted in a confessional that her recovery was no the time or the place to open up about it.  In true Real Housewives fashion, it didn’t take long for Tamra to get wind of what was being said.  “I would like to hear your side before I lose my s***,” said Tamra to Gina as she sharpened her blade.  We are obviously kidding about the blade part, but Tamra was pissed.  “I said your best friends are concerned for you,” Gina countered, before saying that she wanted to make Shannon aware that she was being spoken about.  “I didn’t expect this from Gina at all, she is New York Gina with her loyalty, and you are going to throw me under the bus? Oh no,” said Tamra. But Gina was adamant she was not trying to cause drama, and swiftly realized that the issue here was Shannon.  Shannon apparently took what Gina said and made it into something it wasn’t.  While Tamra was furious with her friends, she got a little bit of good news in her home life.  Eddie was still struggling with his heart defect but found out he was going to be treated for it.  He was tired of not being able to do what he wanted but vowed to be back to doing normal things as soon as possible.  “Like b**ing your wife?” laughed Tamra. Okay, that’s all for another week. What did you think of all the drama? Hit the comments below.  View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Season 9 Looks Absolutely Insane!

Shannon Beador and Vicki Gunvalson Wake Up From Surgery on This Sneak Peek

In the aftermath of Shannon Beador flipping out and then apologizing to her fellow Housewives, the show needs some levity. In this The Real Housewives of Orange County sneak peek, Shannon and Vicki have both undergone surgery. When they come to, however, their experiences are very different. One of them is deeply hilarious. “In a perfect world, would I like to have my partner waiting for me when I get out of surgery?” Shannon asks. She asks if she would love to have such a partner “putting his arm around me, saying ‘I’m going to take care of you and everything’s going to be OK?’” She answers her own questions: “Absolutely.” Obviously, anyone wants emotional support, especially when they're just coming out of surgery. Since Shannon is currently single, however, she doesn't have that. Fortunately, Shannon knows how to keep things in perspective. “But you know what?” Shannon asks rhetorically. “I have a driver,” Shannon says. “And Sophie and the kids are waiting for me when I get home.” That's more than a lot of people have. Shannon concludes: “And that’s all I can ask for.” It's always good to focus on the positives in your life, rather than simply on what you don't have. We promised that there would be some levity in this clip, and there absolutely is. Vicki Gunvalson also went into the hospital to have some face-fillers removed. Her boyfriend, Steve Lodge, arrived to show her moral support — you know, the kind that Shannon would have liked. Vicki was still a little loopy, however, and immediately asks Steve some awkward questions. “Do you love me?” Vicki asks. “Am I pretty?” It sounds like Shannon might be better off. People aren't always at their best when they're under the influence. Vicki then tells Steve that she has “no panties on right now.” Earlier this year, Vicki explained why she intended to have her face fillers removed. “I had a lot of fillers in my face and I didn’t feel like it was me anymore,” Vicki said. “I had too many doctors, too many different times say ‘let’s do this, let’s do that, let’s fill here, let’s do Voluma, let’s do Sculptra,’” Vicki continues. You know, on the very first episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County that I ever saw, she was having a botox party. It seems that she's changed her tune. “And,” Vicki says. “By the time I was done I looked in the mirror and was like COMMA ‘I don’t even look like myself.’” Apparently, part of that has been Steve's supportive influence.  “I said to him the other day, ‘My boobies are a little bit lower. I want them higher up here,’” Vicki shares. Vicki says that Steve didn't agree: “He goes, ‘You promised me you wouldn’t do anything else,’” “No,” Vicki decides. “For right now I’m at peace.” Good for her! It's always easy to poke fun at women who undergo multiple cosmetic procedures on their faces and breasts. Of course, it starts to get considerably less funny once you think about the powerful social forces that demand that women look a certain way. These cultural pressures are compounded for women who are on television, for older women, and for women who are trying to date. Some would say that Vicki and Shannon almost had no choice but to go under the knife a time or two if they wanted to remain on television. That is a grim thought.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: The Shade Queen

Monday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County was light on the nice, and heavy on the mean.  It picked up in the immediate aftermath of Shannon Beador’s QVC debut, and she was on a high.  She invited all of the ladies over to her house for a celebratory dinner.  Gina Kirschenheiter was in attendance, and as you know if you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , she has butted heads with some of the ladies over her looming divorce.  The 34-year-old admitted that she was scared at the thought of “being a grown-up” when the divorce gets finalized.  “I’ve never been alone…I’m scared,” cried Gina as she continued to speak to the ladies about it.  Gina immediately took issue with the fact that Shannon did not ask her how things were.  “Just ask me how my f***ing day was,” Gina yelled as she cried. “‘I’m glad I’m out of this one,” complained Shannon as Gina continued to sob. “I am noticing a pattern in Shannon’s behavior, of her really not caring about me at all…Shannon does have this way of just looking through you,” said Gina. “It shouldn’t take this much time for her to acknowledge my existence, it shouldn’t take this much time for her to not be an a**hole,” she continued. But Shannon was quick to tell Kelly Dodd the real reason why she did not care for Gina.  “She’s 20 years younger than me… and she stirred the pot a few times with me,” Shannon said to her friend.  It makes sense that Shannon would want to keep the new additions away from her because she wants to maintain some sort of storyline to have her contract picked up for another year.  If these new women have a more significant presence, she runs the risk of being demoted to the dreaded “friend” status.  What’s more, the new housewives come at a lower price tag because they haven’t been part of the show for as long.  Elsewhere, Emily questioned whether it would be a wise decision to attempt to have another baby with one of the embryos she had left from her fertility treatments.  Emily was open about her almost dying after suffering six miscarriages on a recent episode of the Bravo hit, so it’s fully understandable that her husband would be apprehensive about trying to conceive again.  “I don’t think it’s right that you keep pushing me in that direction,” Shane said, but Emily wasn’t ready to back down. “But I’ve always wanted more than one girl,” she said. Emily was told that carrying another child could kill her following what happened the last time, so it’s a difficult situation for anyone to be in.  It remains to be seen whether Shane will change his stance on the matter, but we’re inclined to believe he won’t.  What are your thoughts on all the latest action?

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Vicki Gunvalson Flips Out

Vicki Gunvalson and Kelly Dodd’s friendship might never be the same again.  Monday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County picked up in the aftermath of the fight that found new housewife, Emily Simpson, threatening to kill Kelly.  But Vicki wanted to know how her boyfriend, Steve Lodge, wound up being put on blast. If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , you know that Kelly was livid to learn that Steve was friends with her ex-husband.  For Kelly, it was like a betrayal, and it was made worse that her then-BFF Vicki failed to see the issue with all of it.  Gunvalson unpacked what went down with Tamra Judge and Emily.  “Kelly thinks Steve’s mad at her, and I don’t know what’s going on,” Gunvalson solemnly said to her friends. “And now, Steve doesn’t want anything to do with her.” “Shane neither,” said Simpson as though anybody cared whether her pot stirrer husband would be friends with the newest cougar in Orange County, adding “he doesn’t have time for it.” In all honesty, Shane was the one who butted in when Dodd was trying to get the answers from Steve, so if anything, he should be apologizing to Kelly for trying to sink her storyline to get one of his own.  Emily then went on to say that she was wrong about the way she reacted to Kelly.  “I probably shouldn’t have said, ‘I’m going to kill you, but obviously it’s a figure of speech,” she said, trying to defend her actions.  “[Kelly] said the entire time, ‘I just wanna go talk to Steve and fix it,'” added Tamra of the whole scenario.  “She doesn’t give a rat’s a— about Steve, and I guarantee you she wants to see our relationship fold because she doesn’t want anyone happy,” Gunvalson balked, adding: “Miserable people like miserable people. I was there.” That’s when Tamra opted to light the fuse on the dynamite and secure her contract with the show for another season.  “She said that Steve is only with you for your money,” she said while acting like it was not going to cause another war between the housewives.  “I thought it appropriate to tell Vicki about what’s being said because the worst thing in this group is a rumor going to another person, another person, another person and not the person who’s directly involved,” Tamra said in defense of her actions.  “Of course Kelly says that!” Gunvalson screamed as she stopping chopping vegetables. “Shame on her for talking about my relationship. It’s bulls— that everybody’s always after what I have! Leave me alone! And by the way, I don’t have that much money.” For what it’s worth, we did get to see Kelly and Tamra have that conversation earlier in the episode.  “Do you think that guy is hitting it and quitting it?” Kelly asked, of Steve to Tamra. “My friend was dating the girl that Steve was dating. He told the girlfriend that he’s only using Vicki for money. Swear to God. Dinero! Money talks and bulls— walks.” “In my book, Steve’s a bad guy,” she added. “He’s hiding something. And everyone should know what kind of a person he is.” While Tamra was trying to imply she was being nice to Vicki by telling her about the earlier comments, there was also footage that suggested she, too, was not taken in by Steve.  “She doesn’t love him,” Judge said during a group dinner sans Gunvalson. “I’m sorry, she does not love that man.” Never one to come to a party without some proof, she reminded the ladies of Shannon’s matchmaker. “When I was talking with the matchmaker with her, she was like ‘Maybe I should go to him too?’” Judge recalled. While everyone seemed to be against Gunvalson’s relationship, it was all playing out swimmingly for the cameras.  “You better not let me down,” she told Lodge as they celebrated her birthday. “I feel great at 56. It’s been a bumpy couple last three years, but now that Steve’s in my life, I finally feel like I’m at peace.”  “I don’t need a man for money, and he doesn’t need me for money,” she continued. “I don’t care about stuff. I care about the person.“ “I would date a trash collector if that’s who I fell in love with.” Lodge seemed to agree. “I think in her mind she feels, ‘I’m successful I don’t need another man’s money, so I’m going to fall in love not because he has money,’ ” he said. “Unlike some other people we know.” That last little bit of word salad was very likely a jab at Kelly.  Oh yes, it’s on.  What are your thoughts on the latest action?
