Lydia McLaughlin: Leaving The Real Housewives of Orange County

Lydia McLaughlin is exiting The Real Housewives of Orange County after one season of the flagship Bravo franchise, the reality star herself confirms. “It’s bittersweet,” McLaughlin told Us Weekly of her departure. “I compare it to breaking up with a boyfriend you know you’re not going to end up with. It’s hard, but overall you know you’re doing the right thing.” The quirky, Canadian-born magazine entrepreneur and married mother of two is just the latest reported casualty of the long-running reality smash. Alexis Bellino and Gretchen Rossi were l, leaving Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Barney and Heather Dubrow as the only holdovers still appearing. Typically chill and laid back during her short tenure on the show, McLaughlin says there is “no epic story” or feud behind her decision to leave the show. “I never wanted to make a career out of being a housewife. That’s never really been a dream of mine,” says the mother of sons Stirling, 4, and Maverick, 2. “I want to build my brand outside of the Housewives. I’ve always been really honest with the producers about that. I knew that while I was filming it” “I definitely don’t have any regrets,” she says. “I got to be kind of a different voice, and I think that my fans love the love and positivity that I brought.” As for keeping in touch with her now ex-costars? “I still see Alexis and Gretchen,” she says, adding that “Ironically they’re not on the show anymore!” Tell us, THGers and Bravo fans: When the show returns for a ninth season, will you miss Lydia McLaughlin on The Real Housewives of Orange County?   Yes! She was one of my faves! No, wasn’t a huge fan. Who? What? View Poll »

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: The Wrong Damn Man

The Real Housewives of Atlanta returns with season 6 and NeNe Leakes is not amused by Kenya Moore’s craziness. She’d clearly like her to be “Bye Bye With the Wind.” We recap all the new drama in our THG +/- review. NeNe and her former/once again husband Gregg are back in Atlanta since her show The New Normal got cancelled. Minus 25. I liked that show. So perhaps this isn’t the best time to be messing with Mrs. Leakes. Someone may have wanted to warn Kenya, not that it would have mattered.  Not only did Kenya not show up for NeNe’s wedding extravaganza, she didn’t even RSVP. How rude! Minus 15. Apparently Kenya was ticked off that her ex, Walter was invited as well. Seriously? The girl is still whining about Walter. The man is friends with Gregg. Get over it already. Kenya’s back all of five minutes and I’m already bored.   NeNe’s having none of Miss Gone With the Wind’s crap. And Kenya’s darn lucky she didn’t get slapped down for tugging on NeNe’s ear. Minus 30. Plus did you catch Kenya pumping Porsha Williams for information about her crumbling marriage. Girl, you don’t even like Porsha. Stop acting like this is polite conversation when you’re only looking for some good gossip to spread around. But enough about the “beauty queen on bath salts” as Phaedra Parks calls her. Lets get back to Porsha. Kordell filed for divorce without even telling her. She found out via Twitter. Damn, that’s cold. Minus 40. But Porsha’s marriage vows mean something to her so she’ll consider taking him back if he’ll go into counseling. Honestly I’m happy he turned her down. The guy’s a jerk. He once locked her out of her own home because she came home after curfew. Minus 33.  She’s a grown woman for goodness sake and she can do better. Her Momma says that when Porsha was in the hospital for a week after her miscarriage that Kordell only showed up to visit her once. Once! I’d say it’s more than time to kick that boy to the curb. Momma’s right. He’s the wrong damn man. Porsha’s not the only one with problems in the relationship department this season.  I sense trouble ahead for Cynthia Bailey and Peter. He bought a building with their money and kept it from her for six months. Now he has her moving the Bailey Agency into that building. My guess is that the creditors are at the door and he couldn’t find another tenant. It feels like Peter’s keeping a lot of secrets from his wife when it comes to money and that can’t bode well. Minus 22. Kandi Burruss may have her own issues as well. Looks like her Momma’s suddenly anti-Todd. What happened here? I thought she was thrilled her daughter finally found someone. Todd wants to face this head on…and as much as it sounds like the right plan I can only guess they’ll be plenty of choppy waters to navigate before these two head down the aisle. If they make it there. Phaedra just had her baby. Little Dylan’s darn cute but did we have to see him the moment he was born? Couldn’t they have taken a moment to clean him up before his big television debut? Minus 10. Now Phaedra has a son she calls The Prince and another she calls Mr. President. Is there any chance these kids won’t grow up to be spoiled, arrogant brats? Only time will tell and I expect a long and ridiculously dramatic season to come with The Real Housewives of Atlanta . Episode total = -165!                       Season total = -165!

The Real Housewives of Miami Recap: Drop Your Top

The Real Housewives of Miami play drop your top, but just with friends. Can we “Blame It on the Alcohol” or is it just a case of Miami girls gone wild? We recap all the twerking and stripper poles in our THG +/- review. It’s Vegas baby and Lisa Hochstein’s hosting Joanna Krupa’s bachelorette party at The Palms. Plus 20. Get ready for some late nights, sun filled days, and topless fun. Yup. the girls get topless because isn’t that what you do with your friends? Joanna decided to drop her top in the pool and then went around removing the bikini tops of her friends. Plus 15. Adriana certainly didn’t seem to mind. Alexia put hers back on…and did anyone notice that Lisa’s never came off but she was far more drunk than anyone there? But Lisa’s been fighting with Lenny. She’s in a strange mood and make no mistake, she’s here to get blasted. Let’s rewind and head to the pool in the middle of The Palms. Lisa seemed miffed that Lea felt out of place.  Minus 10. Well why wouldn’t she? She’s surrounded by a bunch of drunk 20-somethings having a massive pool party. Like Lea herself said, she felt like the only adult on Spring Break. And that dance she did with 5 Cent…just weird. Minus 18. On the way back to the room, Lisa rode Joanna like a little work horse. And that’s far from the only riding we’ll see tonight. The ladies prepare to hit the town and can someone tell Lea that those fishnets look ridiculous on her. Minus 20. Then there’s the penis pinata. I’m a little afraid to ask what was stuffed inside.   And this party has barely begun. The ladies hit the party bus complete with male strippers. Suddenly two guys in G-strings are twerking all over Lea.  Believe it or not, it gets worse. Lisa can’t resist a good stripper pole but it looks as though Adriana can’t pass up the pole either.  Plus 25. Before you know it Adriana’s got her face in Joanna’s boobs and she’s giving Lisa a lap dance. If Lisa’s the one who’s blitzed, what’s Adriana’s excuse? But Lisa’s drunkenness gets all the attention and the digs start flying when Lea says Lisa likes to blow things and then Joanna says that with Lisa’s marriage on the rocks so she might need a stripper gig if Lenny leaves her.  Then Alexia jumps in, only to make things worse. Isn’t Lisa the one who threw this party for her good friend? Minus 40 . It’s not nice to kick a drunk friend when they’re down. After an argument about who’s a whore (honestly if anyone looked inside that bus they’d think it was a mobile brothel) Lisa storms off in a huff. These housewives aren’t the brightest when they’re sober, so when they’re this drunk their IQ points take quite a tumble. And hasn’t anyone ever told them not to throw the bachelorette party the night before the wedding? Get ready for the Housewives version of the Hangover tomorrow night. Episode total = -28!                                         Season total = -568!

Dina Manzo on Real Housewives of New Jersey Return: Fire Jacqueline Laurita!

Just a few days after its latest season finale, The Real Housewives of New Jersey casting carousel is spinning furiously. Teresa Giudice is desperate to return. Caroline Manzo is leaving for a spinoff. And Dina Manzo may become a series regular once again. Dina Manzo: Returning to The Real Housewives of New Jersey? An insider says Dina “wants to come back,” but she has one very strong condition for her return: She “wants [Jacqueline Laurita] fired first because she is afraid of fighting with her,” a source tells Huffington Post blogger Tom Murro. Manzo walked away from this Bravo franchise way back in June 2010, blaming Danielle Staub at the time and saying her ex-costar was an angry, “very troubled lady.” Dina is now separated from her husband, but needs to be financially independent in order to file for divorce. “If Dina makes enough money on her own then she can leave her husband, if not she’s going back to him,” an insider tells Radar Online. “She’s already attempted a few shows to further herself but they fell apart. RHONJ was her only option to stay in the limelight for now.” And if Manzo does make a return to the series that made her sort of famous? “The onion will be unpeeled next season,” teases this same source. Do you hope to see Dina Manzo back on The Real Housewives of New Jersey?   Yes, I love her! No way! Who?!? View Poll »

The Real Housewives of Miami Recap: Feeling the Romance

Finally, Joanna gets some lovin’ and “Mama Elsa Comes Home” on The Real Housewives of Miami . We recap the dominatrix role play and the lamest bachelorette party ever in our THG +/- review. Is this what Joanna Krupa considers romance?  Minus 10. Although I’m sure it’s fine…or more than fine with most men, I don’t think this is quite what Romain had in mind when he hoped for a romantic night out. Perhaps role play just isn’t the thing for these two…or maybe they need to agree on the script ahead of time. Either way, Romain looked absolutely adorable in those glasses so Plus 25 because I love a handsome man in glasses. Romain does seem to be a good influence on Joanna. He gets her to call a summit meeting between her and Adriana. And even though Adriana and Frederick show up over an hour late ( minus 13! That’s so rude.) They all manage to make nice in the end. They even apologize for their nasty tweets. Has anyone else noticed that the Housewives have a lot of Twitter issues. It’s amazing how much trouble they can find with 140 characters or less. Elsewhere in Miami, Lisa Hochstein is taking care of hubby Lenny after his liposuction. But where’s her sexy nurse costume? Minus 30 . Talk about a missed opportunity. But she’s right, Lenny looks like he’s been shot. It’s really quite gross and then there’s blood all over the bed. Eww… if that won’t make you rethink lipo I don’t know what will. Mama Elsa finally comes home from the hospital and she’s looking good. Plus 15. Marysol Patton decides to clean Mom’s house. No, I’m sorry that’s cleanse Mom’s house. A little dust might be annoying but those evil spirits have got to go. She even gets a healing crystal to clear her mind. It’s in Elsa’s drink. Elsa thinks it’s weird and if Elsa thinks something is weird…well I’d say your in big trouble. Minus 22. Alexia’s mother has a sit down with Peter where she tells him his father is considered a loser.  I’m not saying she’s wrong but is this the way to boost the guy’s self esteem? Minus 27. But back to Adriana who’s still planning her wedding. The grand plan is to have all of the guests arrive at the church wearing white. Then they’ll have to change into Great Gatsby themed attire for the reception.  Talk about a high maintenance wedding! For some reason Adriana has Marysol plan her bachelorette party because when you’re looking for a wild time, Marysol is the friend you go to. Minus 33. It’s the most boring bachelorette party ever. At least she could have had Elsa do some psychic readings or something. It’s so lame that Adriana sets her wedding gown on fire.  No, not the newest one. It’s the dress she was suppose to walk down the aisle in four years ago. You know, for the wedding that happened but didn’t happen? Speaking of which, where the hell is Lea Black? There’s a Housewife missing from my episode. I want my hour back. Episode total = -95!   Season total = -462!
