Lisa Vanderpump of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is really sad about her former home, which was featured on the show, being lost in a fire on Friday. “I’m shocked, really,” she told KCAL-TV. “It’s been an incredible journey coming to America and living in that house. My daughter got married in that house.” “I’m pretty emotional about it even though I sold it a few months ago.” The massive home, which appears in the opening credits of the Bravo reality show, was featured many times on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . As Lisa said, her daughter Pandora tied the knot on its grounds. “She got married there in the fall, as everybody who watched RHBOH saw, and it was amazing, and that’s what I want to think of it,” Vanderpump said. The fire was reported at about 6:30 p.m. Friday night, according to the LAFD. More than 100 firefighters responded to extinguish the massive flames. A portion of the roof and portions of the floors collapsed due to the fire, the cause of which is unknown. One firefighter was hospitalized but no one died. Vanderpump and husband Kenneth Todd downsized recently to a smaller home, selling the place for $19 million after their adult children moved out. Lisa, Camille Grammer , Taylor Armstrong, Kyle Richards, Kim Richards, Adrianne Maloof and Brandi Glanville return to the Bravo show later this year.
She stars in the biggest movie in the land ( Snow White and the Huntsman ), and also stars in what is bound to be the biggest movie in the land this weekend ( Prometheus ). But Charlize Theron is focused on the small screen. In a recent interview , the Oscar winner copped to being a MAJOR Game of Thrones fan, saying: “I am absolutely foaming at the mouth over Game of Thrones . I cannot get enough of that. When my son came in my life, that was a bottle feed because I couldn’t watch television; I used to watch so little. That was my TiVo feed every two hours – watching Game of Thrones . My mom was like, “Do you think it’s fine that you’re feeding your son while there’s like sword fights?” I was like, “It’s fine, Mom. It’s fine.” Would she guest star on the HBO epic? “I’d be totally open to it.” Game of Thrones , of course, is notorious for its sex and nude scenes. So, in other words series casting directors: Give Theron a call. NOW!
Remember Danielle Staub? No? That pretty much sums up the former reality star’s financial woes. The ex- Real Housewives of New Jersey star – who once bragged about her Black American Express Card- has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, ironically listing American Express as one of her 35 creditors. Staub reportedly owes between $500,000 and $1,000,000, the same amount listed as her assets, according to her court petition. Since exiting the Bravo franchise, Danielle has unsuccessfully tried to capitalize on her fame, from charging money to speak to idiots on the phone to stripping at Scores in New York City. It’s shocking no one turned out to pay money for the latter, isn’t it? Other creditors listed on the bankruptcy petition include: the Internal Revenue Service, the State of New Jersey Division of Taxation, PSE&G and nine law firms, along with the Township of Wayne, where Staub resided during her stint on the show.

“The Smalls” have a new teammate! Nicole Porche Is Going To Be The Newest Cast Memeber On Real Housewives Of Atlanta According to StraightFromTheA reports : Nicole Porche is a 40-something actress originally from New Orleans, Louisiana and is a graduate of Southern University. She has appeared in commercials and several low budget independent films around Atlanta and is also a “shorty” and stands about 5’1 and as far as I know, doesn’t have any previous affiliation with any of the current cast members. Now I dunno about you, but it’s kinda interesting that Bravo would hire an “actress” for a “reality” show, but then again… NeNe Leakes was an up and coming actress too and look where it’s taken her. I’d heard that the “housewives” would all be posing for their new intros and cast photos within the next few weeks, so I knew that the cast was finalized. Nicole was the final piece to the puzzle. I’d had her first name for months and didn’t have a clue who this “new chick from New Orleans” was, but l guess it’s good to be friends with the staff of Atlanta clubs cause I gets the T.E.A, now whether Bravo wants me to have it or not… that’s a whole ‘nother story! Bravo was apparently taping in the location I was in about a week or so ago and staff there told me that Nicole had introduced herself to a few people as “the new housewife”… Nicole also recently played host to aspiring actors and actresses hoping to join the cast of the “reality” stage play “Mama Don’t Go”. As far as her personal life is concerned… I hear Nicole has been married and divorced a few times, I’m not sure about kids or even if she actually LIVES in Atlanta, but I’m sure I’ll find out soon enough. Only time will tell what type of energy Ms. Nicole Porche will bring the Ratchet Housewives Of Atlanta, but being that she is an actress we expect plenty of drama! Images via IMDb

‘This tour is going to be really good for her,’ psychic Jesse Bravo says of Gaga’s planned 2012 BTW Ball. By MTV News Staff Lady Gaga Photo: Jason Kempin/ Getty Images As 2012 rolls along, Lady Gaga has already teased she has some big plans ahead. So MTV News decided to look to New York-based psychic Jesse Bravo to see what fate has in store for the pop superstar. Bravo recently rolled up to the MTV News offices and looked into his crystal ball. “Lady Gaga for 2012, it’s going to be sort of a slower year for her because she has her tour, which means she’s not putting out a lot of new material,” Bravo explained, despite Gaga’s tease that she is working on her follow-up to 2011’s Born This Way . “So for me, when I sort of looked up around there to see what was happening for her, I saw her sales sort of slow down because of new material. But she’s also building up this new momentum for running her base for this tour. This tour is going to be really good for her.” Gaga has already thought about the Born This Way Ball , tweeting over the holidays that she was pondering the things she wants to sell on tour. “Designing merch for the tour, when you see it you will die. #deathbyinexpensiveglamour ,” she wrote. Mother Monster is also famously known for her wild style, which Bravo said won’t disappoint in the next 12 months. “I believe her next big outfit is a cross between two things, and I was sort of stuck in between, like, where I should go with this because I saw two outfits, which means they can come in succession,” he said. “I don’t know which one is going to come first. But I will believe the one that I saw is this outfit, and I can’t really describe it, but it’s going to have lights embedded in it. So it’s going to be pretty bizarre. And then I saw another outfit and it’s like a body outfit, one that you spray-paint on, and I don’t know if it’s a stars-and-stripes theme, but I saw that there were stars and stripes in the right areas.” In addition to all the ups in her career, Gaga’s personal life will also prosper, according to Bravo, which means that she may get even more serious with her rumored beau and “You and I” co-star, “Vampire Diaries” actor Taylor Kinney. “Her personal life is going to stay stable for a while. The reason why is that on the outside she shows she’s a strong character — and for business she is — but on the inside she’s a mush. And so as a result, she needs to have her relationship in place, especially right now when she needs that support on going on something that’s so big,” he said. “Two years is a long, long time [to tour]. I don’t think that relationship is going … it’s not going out.” Just how serious might they get? Well, Gaga, believe it or not, is already pondering a family, according to Bravo. (Although she did note in a recent interview that the only family she is focused on is her new music .) “I also feel this need of having children. So I don’t know how this is going to play because we know she has a tour and she’s not going to stop the tour short to have a child,” Bravo predicted. “And I know that work is on her mind, but I know that [her spirit guide] Liberace is telling me about a child. And I know that in the back of her mind, she wants one. I think with her, it’s about scheduling … and I would say we’re looking somewhere at 2014-2015. That’s going to be her time.” What do you think about Jesse Bravo’s predictions for Lady Gaga? Tell us in the comments! Related Videos 2012 Psychic Predictions!
Luckily for Kim Zolciak (and even more so for poor deer-in-the-headlights Kroy Biermann), Peter and Apollo’s thug life flashback isn’t the only thing they have to remember their baby shower by. Among the hundred guests at Kim’s baby shower last spring was the OMG Booth capturing all types of innocent photo fun the Bravo cameras left out of last week’s episode . Flip through and check out Kim, Kroy, Phaedra, Kandi, Mama Joyce, Phaedra, Sheree and more Phaedra inside the OMG Booth.
Kim just cannot win, can she? Just one week after rumors of a planned Kim Zolciak RHOA spin-off popped up online, Bravo has officially announced Kandi ‘s new project: The Kandi Factory. Per Bravo’s press release: Ever since Burruss turned Kim Zolciak‘s single “Tardy for the Party” into a digital download phenomenon, she has been bombarded by thousands of wannabe artists desperate for her popstar secrets. Burruss believes she can turn anyone with raw talent and drive into “something hot” and wants to give aspiring artists a shot at their dream. “With her breakout personality and straightforward attitude, Bravo fans have grown to love Kandi on ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta,’” said Eli Lehrer, Vice President of Development for Bravo. “‘The Kandi Factory’ will capture a unique look at her successful music career as Kandi transforms two music hopefuls into the next big popstar.” In the special, Burruss will give two protégés the opportunity to come to Atlanta and learn the fundamentals of pop music success. She has identified three factors that have to fit perfectly together to create a pop sensation: the song, the look and the performance. Burruss and her team of experts at The Kandi Factory will work with the two contestants in order to turn them into music superstars. Will they listen to Burruss’ advice and rise to the occasion or will they bomb? Say what you will about Kandi, but that chick is about her paper.
After a premiere that was overshadowed by Two and a Half Men in the ratings, Dancing With the Stars returns for its second week of competition this evening. In week one, the controversial Chaz Bono proved he’s got the confidence and personality, if not the natural talent, to stick around at least a little while this fall. Metta World Peace? Out. Chynna Phillips, J.R. Martinez and Hope Solo turned in strong performances, while Nancy Grace, Rob Kardashian and Elisabetta Canalis ended up at the bottom. Can those three rebound this week? Possibly, given a little experience and the first-week jitters out of the way. But it’ll be a tall order to top the favorites. In the middle of the pack, Ricki Lake, Kristin Cavallari, Carson Kressley and David Arquette could all make a move or fall flat. Expect a little of each. Our picks to go home this week? Rob, who acts like he doesn’t want to be there, or Nancy, who may be too polarizing to draw enough fan support. Who will win Dancing With the Stars?
