Tamra Barney is a married woman! The Real Housewives of Orange County star wed Eddie Judge Saturday after more than three years as a couple. “I am so lucky to be sharing my life with Eddie,” the reality star said. “I have never been so in love! This is the beginning of the best part of my life.” The day was a memorable one for Barney, 45, and Judge, 40. The couple got hitched at St. Regis Monarch Beach in California, and it was all filmed for her upcoming Bravo spinoff show, Tamra’s OC Wedding . She wore custom-made dresses during the day and evening. The pair, who got engaged in February, celebrated a joint bachelor and bachelorette party in Las Vegas May 18 … on top of that whole Mexico fiasco . Tamra Barney is thrilled to share her wedding with her fans. “They watched every transition I’ve made and am happy to sharing our wedding, too,” she said. “I couldn’t be happier and am thankful to have found Eddie!” It’s the third marriage for the mother of four. Congrats!!
When the women of The Real Housewives of Orange County party, they party . Or at least Vicki does. And she drags Tamra and Lydia along on her whoop-it-up spree. Gretchen doesn’t like it. Things are heating up with the women south of the border! Let’s recap it now with our THG +/- review! Vicki, Tamra, and Lydia finally arrive at Andale’s. Now maybe Vicki will shut up about whooping it up at Andale’s. Maybe. (Probably not.) Gretchen and Heather are in the back of the limo waiting for the end of the bathroom trip of eternity. Gretchen starts telling Heather the tales Laurie told her about Vicki and Heather doesn’t want to hear it. Plus 2 . They get out of the limo and into a cab to go back to the resort. Tamra hails her own cab by dancing on top of one and declaring that there’s no better woman to party with than Vicki Gunvalson. In the limo, Lydia and Tamra tell Vicki they’re blaming her for ditching Heather and Gretchen. Then there’s talk of bunions. Minus 8 . The three of them go in to Heather’s room to apologize but Heather’s not having it. Neither is Gretchen. Tamra can’t stop laughing which just makes Gretchen and Heather more angry. She asks Tamra how Tamra could just run off like that and Tamra points at Vicki. Buzz kill. Minus 20. But they kind of deserved it for ditching the girls. Back in Tamra’s room, Vicki laughs that her “plan” worked! And then she pees Tamra’s bed. Minus 50. May clearer heads–and cleaner sheets–prevail the next day. The ladies meet in the lobby and plan to go see the town. Gretchen thanks Vicki for showing up at their rendezvous and Vicki keeps walking right out the door and straight to the limo. Minus 12 . Heather and Lydia decide to skip the penis straws in their mimosas. Lydia asks if they’re all good about last night. Heather says she’s not happy and was embarrassed and everything felt really sad. But she’s trying to move on in the spirit of having a good weekend. Plus 10 . After watching a baby bull fight a matador, the women have regrouped themselves in the limo. Lydia, Vicki, and Tamra on one end and Heather and Gretchen on another. The trio recounts their fun from the following night and Heather chimes in that they didn’t get that fun, so that’s a bummer for them. There’s cat fighting in the limo and Lydia calls Gretchen “negative.” With the desire for everything to be so positive all the time are we sure Lydia doesn’t take hits of her mom’s bong when Grandma’s not looking? Gretchen starts to cry and Tamra tries to console her. Then Vicki gets angry. Minus 6. Once they’re back at the resort, Vicki and Lydia head down to sit by the pool. Tamra and Heather join them and Gretchen follows shortly after bearing gifts. Plus 10 . Vicki mocks the fact that there are Gretchen Christine products in their goodie bags. When tension rises between Gretchen and Vicki, Tamra tries to break it by telling them all about Vicki peeing her bed. “I leaked. I’m gonna own it,” says Vicki. And then she says that we’ve all done it at least once in our lives. Ummmm…moving on. Tamra asks Gretchen to go take a walk with her and Vicki starts in on how Gretchen is the reason she and Tamra aren’t close friends anymore. Every word out of Vicki’s mouth drips with disdain for Gretchen. She’s condescending and rude and Gretchen does an excellent job of keeping her cool. Plus 5 to Gretchen for that. Minus 20 to Vicki for being a raging lunatic. Tamra tells Gretchen about Vicki’s “my plan worked” comment and then the camera flashes back to Vicki and Lydia talking. Vicki thinks that Gretchen should look to her as a mentor. HAHAHAHHAHAHA. Minus 10 . Back on the beach, Gretchen asks Tamra why she pushes people away when they get close to her. Tamra starts to cry and tells Gretchen about her newfound revelation that feelings are okay. Tamra gravitates to people like Tamra because they don’t “get deep.” They don’t make her confront herself. Team Gretchen. Back in OC, Alexis and Jim go to dinner. She’s not jealous of the other women who are whooping it up in Mexico, but she’s totally jealous. Minus 4 Lydia called her and doesn’t know what to do about the strippers who are coming to play later. Jim shuts down conversation about the women and asks to be left out of it. So Alexis says she wants to have another baby. Jim says they can talk about it again in 5 years. She counters with 6 months. Then she says the dumbest thing she’s said all season: “You may be faster, but I will outrun you. You know what that means?” No, Alexis, just like Jim, NONE OF US know what that means. Minus 10. And Minus 10 more for making us think about you and Jim doing the dirty. Gretchen has decked out their resort suite for Tamra’s night. She’s also vowed to have fun with Vicki for Tamra’s sake. After a quick cocktail, Tamra opens a present and then dinner is served. Strangest revelation of the night is that Lydia shops at Victoria’s Secret. Heather shops at…I’m not sure where she shops. But she bought Tamra a diamond-studded whip. And a pregnancy test. And hand sanitizer. And latex gloves. Plus 12. And Vicki buys her the largest dildo ever. Once dinner winds down a bit, Lydia excuses herself to go and call Doug. She doesn’t want to see the strippers Gretchen has hired to tantalize Tamra. Except they don’t tantalize so much as nearly violate her. It’s not exactly clear if Gretchen hired strippers or prostitutes. But hey, fun was had by all, I guess. Plus 5. Just for funsies, here’s Heather’s face while the Magic Mikes were doing their, uh, Tamra, Gretchen, and Vicki. Safety first! Lydia joins the girls for breakfast the next morning and Tamra doesn’t quite understand why she could dance on a bar but not stay for the strippers. Me either, Tamra. Oh well. Until next time… EPISODE TOTAL: -106 SEASON TOTAL: -32
Tonight on The Real Housewives of Orange County , Gretchen plans a bachelorette party for Tamra. Even though Tamra and Eddie haven’t set a date and have no plans to get married other than a ring? Whatever. It’s a vacation and there’s booze. That means there’s bound to be some fun. We’re recapping it all with our THG +/- review! After Tamra’s tearful conversation with her mom last week, she’s ready to turn over a new, less-angry leaf. Lydia comes over for lemonade and a snack. She also hopes to broker peace between Tamra and Alexis. Lydia calls herself the “friendship whisperer” and says that this is all part of her master plan. Master plan for what, Lydia?? Maybe you should hit up your mom’s house and bring along a bit of her stash for this. Minus 8 . Gretchen and Heather get together to plan Tamra’s bachelorette party. They’re designing a custom swimsuit for Tamra for the trip, but they’re having trouble agreeing. On anything. Minus 4 . Heather wants an art gallery and a spay day and shopping. Gretchen wants strippers. Unclutch your pearls, Heather. Let Gretchen win this one. Vicki and Alexis meet for drinks and Vicki’s nervous about going because of Tamra and Gretchen’s friendship. Alexis is a little shocked about Tamra’s phone call inviting her to lunch. She’s optimistic that Tamra can’t hang on to the anger forever. Vicki, enough with “the bracelet thing.” Enough. Jealousy doesn’t look good on you. Minus 12 . Lydia and Alexis meet up with Tamra for lunch. Tamra’s a glass of wine in before they get there, in hopes of calming her nerves. There’s an awkward hug. And then an awkward silence. And then an awkward Lydia. Tamra says she wants to break the cycle of hurting for Alexis. She wants to take some time to get to know Alexis without the outside influence of the other ladies first. Way to go, Tamra! Plus 50 . Gretchen goes to meet Lauri and her horse. Slade and Lauri used to “date.” And by date we mean sleep together. Talk turns to Vicki and Gretchen says Vicki’s one of the most hypocritical people she’s ever met in her life. Lauri heard about all of that. And then some. Apparently Vicki cheated on Don. A lot. With men. And women. And apparently she has a thing for men with bad teeth. Gretchen’s honest when she tells Lauri she’s going to have a hard time keeping all of these secrets. Once they get to Mexico and the alcohol starts to flow? No way those bodies are staying buried. Heather’s packing for Mexico and tells Terry there will be a stripper. She’s never seen a stripper. Terry doesn’t count. I’m so glad they’re back! Plus 8 . Lydia’s never been on a bachelorette trip and doesn’t know how many pairs of shoes she needs to bring for two nights. She’s also never seen a stripper and Doug’s not nearly as nice about the stripper thing as Terry was, which is surprising considering he was so okay with Grandma’s pot smoking ways. Gretchen has an entire suitcase’ worth of bachelorette party paraphernalia and that’s not even including the penis stuff. Plus 20. It’s B-day!! The ladies start to arrive at the airport to head to Mexico and Vicki’s got a sash for Tamra. Because apparently she doesn’t think Gretchen would’ve through of that. Quote of the night goes to Vicki: “This is a bachelorette party. She can drink out of more than one penis cup.” Plus 10 . Telling Tamra that they’re going to Mexico was slightly underwhelming. I’m not sure they got the reaction from her that they’d hoped to get. Vicki’s about to lose points for overuse of the word “whoop.” And I’m not even going to mention that move with the lollipop. At least not with words. The girls get changed and head to dinner. Vicki wants to party the whole time they’re in Mexico. Tamra wants to spend the first night sleeping. She’s too old to drink two nights in a row. Lydia asks if they can have chips and salsa. This is not that kind of restaurant. Minus 10 Gretchen looks a bit perturbed. Which makes Heather perturbed. Vicki wants to go to Andale’s. Heather wants to go to bed. So does Tamra. Lydia wants everyone to eat some shrimp! Vicki pulls Lydia and Tamra off on a walking tour of Puerto Vallarta leaving Heather and Gretchen on their own. Bad form, Vicki. Bad form. Minus 5 . Heather and Gretchen have been waiting in the limo for 20 minutes thinking that Vicki, Tamra, and Lydia are still in the restroom. But no. They’re off buying light-up hairbows. Vicki’s evil plan to steal Tamra away from Gretchen seems to be working. Hold up. Best quote of the night goes to Gretchen. “I want to unleash a wrath of ‘furry’ on this girl.” I mean, when in Mexico, right?? EPISODE TOTAL: +49 SEASON TOTAL: +74
Tonight on The Real Housewives of Orange County, Vicki will have to decide between Brooks and Baby Troy. Will she run away for a weekend with her lover or will her loyalty to Briana win out? We know what we’re hoping for. And it’s certainly not more screen time for Brooks. Find out who Vicki chooses as we recap tonight’s episode with our THG +/- review! Tamra and Heather kick off tonight’s episode with a glass of wine and a little girl talk. Heather felt that Gretchen and Slade’s behavior at Hot in Cleveland was disrespectful and weird. And it was. Minus 10 . Alexis and Lydia meet for coffee. Except Alexis orders tea and says she’ll “do” a banana. Then Lydia orders “basically” warm milk with a little taste of coffee. Lydia definitely doesn’t need caffeine. When Lydia tells Alexis that she went to Heather’s taping, Alexis is visibly shaken. She doesn’t like it that Lydia is spending so much time with the girls and thinks Alexis should reach out and apologize. Lydia thinks Alexis needs to make “a bold move.” And I think Lydia needs to drop it. Alexis throws out the bullying word and says she doesn’t trust Tamra but needs to let all of this go. Vicki finally admits that Brooks is her boyfriend. Since Briana and Ryan don’t want him in their home, she’s just going to visit him at his house. Which is 5 miles from her house. Which is still too far away for Vicki. Minus 12. Brooks asks Vicki to go away with him for the weekend and she says that she can’t because she’s traveling to San Diego to babysit Troy while Briana and Ryan go to the Marine Ball. Way to choose the grandma duties, Vicki! Plus 8 . She asks to reschedule, but Brooks is actually going to play Dad the following weekend, so that doesn’t work for him. Vicki asks for a raincheck and the following exchange occurs: Vicki: Can I get a raincheck? Brooks: Maybe if you’re nice. Vicki: I’m always nice. Until you piss me off. Brooks: You don’t want to piss me off either. Uh, that sounds like a threat, Vicki. Head for the hills! Minus 34. Tamra’s been asked to speak at the L.A. Women’s Expo, but she’s really nervous about the prospect of speaking in front of so many people. She hires a speech coach to come in and help her write the speech and give her pointers on delivery. During their conversation, Tamra seems vulnerable and emotional and real. It’s a different side of the brash, loud, somewhat crude Tamra we’re used to seeing. Plus 9. Lydia’s stirring something in a pot on the stove, but she’s a self-proclaimed non-domestic. She hasn’t done a load of laundry in their house. Like, ever. Minus 12 . She doesn’t make dinner. She makes reservations. Minus 12 more for good measure. Lydia tells Doug about the conversations she’s had with Puff the Magic Grandma and Doug tells her she needs to lighten up. In different words, of course. Plus 25 . Gretchen and Slade are visiting her doctor to discuss her fertility. Slade’s been snipped, so there’s that issue to work around, too. During her date with the dildo-cam, the doctor declares that Gretchen’s uterus is “nice and lush” and her follicles are “pleasantly plump.” Plus 8? Somehow knowing that much about the inner workings of Gretchen’s girl parts doesn’t feel like a plus, but we’ll run with it. The doctor recommends in vitro fertilization for Gretchen and Slade given his vasectomy and her age. Gretchen envisioned making a baby the old fashioned way. Briana, Ryan, and Vicki are heading to San Diego with Baby Troy. While Ryan and Briana are at the ball, Vicki’s playing Nana. Vicki, the 90s called, they want their “whoop” back. Ryan has a deployment to Afghanistan coming up. He’ll be gone for 11 months. Vicki vows to do whatever Briana needs her to do to help her daughter through it. Plus 7 . Terry’s taking Heather out to dinner to apologize, again, for not supporting her and dropping The D Word into their fight. Good job, Terry. Briana and Ryan leave for the ball and Vicki says she’s more than happy to be watching Baby Troy. Even if she wishes she were with Brooks. Minus 15 . Over drinks, Terry starts apologizing and says that he thinks the reason he acted like a jerk was because he worried about how Heather going back to work would affect his life. Heather’s not buying that as an excuse. After a really serious heart to heart, he passes a card across the table. He’s written a note inside that’s so sweet it makes her cry. And then he cries. And maybe I cried, too. Or it just got really dusty in here all of a sudden. Hooray! The Dubrows are good again! Plus 37. Tamra’s mom comes over to accompany her to the Women’s Expo. Tamra’s speech contains parts that might make her mom uncomfortable, but she’s pushing forward with it anyway. If she doesn’t chicken out. Lydia’s mom comes over to teach Lydia how to (half) bake a lasagna. In her one-on-one, Lydia lays all of her non-domestic tendencies on her mom because she was too busy teaching them how to throw flower petals in the air to teach them how to do practical things. And then she says she didn’t learn those things because she never had to learn those things. Way to tell the truth, Lydia. Plus 2 . Lydia says she could never measure up to being the kind of mom to her boys that her mom was to her. But wouldn’t smoking up be the answer to that? They (half) bake the lasagna and call it a day. Mom gets to smoke her joints and Lydia gets to keep her mom around. All is solved. Tamra’s at the Women’s Expo and ready to give her Keynote address. She’s looking great in a red dress. She cracks a couple of jokes that get no laughs. She starts her speech and there are tears in her voice. She talks about how her tough exterior is a mask for her insecurity and why she is the way she is. It seems like Tamra had a little enlightenment up on that stage. Good for her! Plus 20 . Tamra’s got to have a tough discussion with her mother after a speech that ripped apart her childhood. The only time Tamra can remember her parents telling her that they loved her was when she was 21 years old. Minus 4 . Not knowing how to express her emotions makes Tamra an angry woman. But Tamra wants to change that. She’s turning over a new leaf starting with telling her mother that she loves her. Plus 20. EPISODE TOTAL: +37 SEASON TOTAL: +25

Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley have a reason to celebrate today: In Touch Weekly reports the couple is engaged! “She proposed to him on top of the AT&T building in LA,” an insider tells the tabloid, adding that it was a surprise and, of course, the proposal will be televised. “She had him flown up there via helicopter for the dramatic proposal.” The Real Housewives of Orange County has been dating Smiley for four years, and their relationship has been chronicled in detail in the Bravo reality series. Rossi was previously wed to Chris Ross. They divorced in 2007 and then she got engaged to Jeff Beitzel, who died of cancer in 2008. Smily was previously engaged to Jo De La Rosa, but broke it off five years ago.
Up until now, we haven’t known a whole lot about the plot of The Hangover Part III except that the Wolfpack returns to Vegas. The latest trailer, however, is by far the most plot-heavy look at the final installment of the comedy franchise. So if you like to know what a film is about before hitting the theater, watch below: The Hangover Part III Trailer So in addition to seeing Melissa McCarthy for the first time (woohoo!), what have we gathered about the plot? Well first, the gang isn’t returning to Vegas of their own volition, because that would be ridiculous. In fact, they should probably all just lock themselves in a small room. They’re actually taking Zach Galifianakis’ character Alan to rehab, when they’re intercepted by a John Goodman, who forces them to help him locate Chow (Ken Jeong). Enter Las Vegas. Looks like The Hangover Part III could actually be a decent cap to the franchise. What do you think? Catch the comedy in theaters May 24.
Jenna Jameson is off the hook after her alleged assault on her transgendered porn star assistant with a brass knuckles iPhone 5 case last Saturday. Catch all that? The Orange County D.A.’s Office has decided there just ain’t enough evidence to pursue the case, despite Jenna Jameson’s arrest Saturday night. The porn queen was originally cited for battery after allegedly using the brass-knuckles iPhone case to hit Britney Markham at a Newport Beach salon. Britney has since asked a judge for a restraining order against JJ; it is not known if she plans to file a civil lawsuit now that criminal charges are off the table.
New haircut. New Justin Bieber? In the face of mounting legal and personal problems, the 19-year old singer has seemingly made an attempt to turn over a new leaf… by donning a new ‘do! The fresh locks – no longer spiked, half-shaven, sort of like Miley Cyrus – were on display over the weekend when Bieber posted for a photo with this fan: We won’t bother asking Drake Bell what he thinks because we all know that actor’s opinion of Bieber . But we will ask our loyal readers: What do you think of Justin Bieber’s new hairstyle? Yes, he’s so dreamy! No, he’s now less dreamy! Marry me, Justin! View Poll »
