It looks like even more of Vicki Gunvalson’s dirty laundry is about to become public as a judge refused to seal documents related to a recent lawsuit. The Real Housewives of Orange County star and her controversial boyfriend Brooks Ayers are embroiled in a legal dispute over Vicki’s vodka line. The duo sought a protective order preventing “confidential, propriety, or private information” from being exposed in court, but their request was denied. Vicki argued that the two “are celebrities, and tabloids and other news media have shown an interest in publishing information about their lives.” In fact, she argues regarding items such as the video of Brooks Ayers admitting he cheated on Vicki with hookers, some of that stuff is already out there. The Bravo stars tried hard to protect “all items or information that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter.” U.S. Magistrate Judge George Foley Jr. shut down the twosome’s request, claiming they didn’t adequately prove the material needed to stay private. Gunvalson pulled the plug on her Vicki’s Vodka brand amid the legal battling that has seen both her name and Brooks’ dragged through the mud. Vicki has stood by Brooks despite of his alleged history of violence and other seedy activities, while he claims that all of this was a long time ago . If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , you know her co-stars aren’t fans of his, and we can’t imagine this will help his cause. 21 Real Housewives Feuds For the Ages 21.

Unlike the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta reunion fight, no weaves were pulled and no arrests were made when The Real Housewives of Orange County reconvened. Last week’s reunion show taping wasn’t drama-free by any means, though, as the women of SoCal brought with them insults, tears and apologies galore. The one-woman epicenter of tension? Tamra Barney. The reunion was “full of emotion, and it was all aimed at Tamra,” an insider revealed, noting, “Heather Dubrow actually apologized to Shannon Beador. In return, both of those ladies “took their anger out on Tamra, accusing her of stirring up drama and being a disloyal friend who spreads gossip.” The enemy of my enemy is my friend? Or something? They weren’t alone, either: “Vicki Gunvalson was also very mad at Tamra for betraying her trust, and continuing her vendetta against [Brooks Ayers].” But it was Shannon Beador who really went off on Tamra, according to insiders, for essentially “trying to make her look like a bad wife and mom.” That will typically not endear you to a person, it’s true. Tamra, who will be a grandmother this year as Ryan Vieth is expecting his first child, finally admitted to Beador that she leaked gossip about her. Real Housewives: Before They Were Reality Stars! 1. Tamra Barney: Before The Real Housewives OCs Tamra was quite the bodacious bikini babe. Still is! Will all of this get Tamra Barney fired from the show? That’s unclear, but despite the growing animosity, it’s hard to imagine those ties being severed. As for the husbands, the only ones who were invited to the taping to appear on camera were Terry Dubrow and David Beador, reports indicate. Heather’s plastic surgeon hubby, Terry “didn’t want her to apologize to Shannon because he didn’t feel she had done anything wrong,” the insider said. Meanwhile, “Shannon’s husband, David, also went OFF on Tamra for making his wife so upset. It was very sweet the way David defended Shannon.” Both believe Tamra is meddling and grasping at straws lately in large part because she personally is “very unhappy in her own marriage to Eddie [Judge].” Could a third divorce be nigh instead of a baby? It’s unclear, but producers are “ very happy with how the reunion taping went … there was tons of fighting, and tears, which equates to excellent ratings.” Yes. In that respect, everybody wins.

Will longtime Bravo mainstay Tamra Barney be fired from The Real Housewives of Orange County after the current ninth season comes to a close? Three month ago, it would have seemed like a crazy possibility to even throw out (maybe it still is), but she keeps falling out of favor with each passing week. If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County regularly, you know that Barney – or Tamra Judge, as she goes by now – may be skating on thin ice. Not because she’s boring and doesn’t bring storylines, a la Joyce Giraud and Carlton Gebbia of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . She brings plenty. According to insiders, Tamra should be worried because she’s reaching the point where no one else wants to open up to her or involve her in their lives. That, more than anything, is the kiss of death on Bravo. While Heather and Terry Dubrow are likely losing their minds at this point in the filming process, she’s become a lightning rod and polarizing figure. They should be back, along with lifer Vicki Gunvalson and newcomers Shannon and David Beador, who bring a number of vintage Bravo qualities to the table. Shannon has proven to be a good listener – people confide in her – and David loves to drink on the show, making him a go-to for camera-loving behavior. Add in the will-they-or-won’t-they-divorce drama and the Beadors are a safe bet to return. Tamra Barney , meanwhile, may end up ostracized from the group. Just speculation? Absolutely, but keep your eye on it. 10 Life Secrets The Real Housewives Have Figured Out 1. You Might Never Find the Man or Woman of Your Dreams Or maybe you will? Third time’s the charm, right Tamra?
The third time’s the charm for Tamra Barney! She has the groom. She has the bling. And if the ladies have anything to do with it, she’ll have the dress, too. And Vicki will get some shocking news about Brooks thanks to Lauri, who went away to marry George but has come back again to start trouble because apparently her new life was boring. Silly housewife. Let’s catch up with them now with our THG +/- recap! Tamra meets Eddie at what will eventually, hopefully, maybe be their fitness studio. He’s set up a candlelight dinner on a card table. How romantic! Plus 8. They were supposed to be open weeks ago and there’s still no floor. Eddie’s so not interested in hearing Tamra talk about her Spanx. So not. Fake it, Eddie. Fake it. He asks about the Alexis-Gretchen drama and about Gretchen backing out of dress shopping and says that Gretchen’s being childish. Really, Gretchen’s just being a friend and knows that if she goes she might fight with Alexis and doesn’t want that for Tamra. Plus 3. Heather has another table read! She’s going to read for a guest starring role on Malibu Country . Terry was excited when he heard this time and didn’t crack a joke! Hooray, Terry! You really can teach an old dog new tricks! Plus 5 . Lauri and Vicki show up at Tamra’s and they’ve brought coffee. Lauri thinks it’s funny that Tamra’s getting married for a third time when Tamra cracked jokes about Lauri’s third wedding. Tamra’s previous wedding dresses were maternity dresses. The fact that this one isn’t is a big deal. Plus 8. Lydia believes that “marriage is forever” and says that about Tamra’s pending wedding to Eddie. Except this is Tamra’s third wedding. This one will totally stick! The ladies in the limo discuss Cheeseburger-gate and Slade. Lydia’s not a fan of him at all and calls him a 12-year-old tool. Eh, Plus 12. Gretchen wears her engagement ring from Jeff and Lydia sees it immediately upon Gretchen getting into the limo. Vicki thinks it’s Gretchen’s way of upstaging Tamra. It’s a ring, Vicki. That’s it. Heather and Alexis are at the bridal store when the limo arrives. They’re more than just cordial. They’re nearly chipper. Plus 3 Tamra wants to plan her wedding around the dress. The men helping her try on dresses have nothing but dollar signs in their eyes. Gretchen’s kind of stand-offish because she doesn’t want a repeat of the ladies’ night at the gym to happen in the bridal shop. She’s the only one who seems to be thinking about that. Heather pops the cork on a bottle of champs and Tamra comes out in the first dress. While she’s changing into the second one, Vicki tells Alexis that Gretchen wasn’t coming at first because Alexis was coming. Minus 12. Tamra stood up for Alexis, though, so Alexis plans to thank Tamra for that. She’s so done with Gretchen. So done. Alexis follows Tamra into the dressing room so she can thank her for the invitation. Tamra says that she wanted Alexis there and so she was there. Then in an interview, Alexis delivers the best line of the night. About Gretchen: “When it comes to Gretchen and I, I just wish sometimes Gretchen would eat some of her own makeup so she could become pretty on the inside again.” After Alexis leaves, Lauri says it might be Gretchen next time and Lydia says it might be Vicki. Vicki says it won’t be her. She and Brooks went to dinner and ended everything. His love language is quality time and Vicki can’t give him that since he’s not welcome in her home while Briana and Troy are living there. Lauri says Briana and Michael must have an intuition kicking in and she wants to talk to Vicki at some point. And then she just launches into the information she has about Brooks. Minus 26. He’s dating Lauri’s daughter’s friend. Where dating means probably having sex. With a 21 year old. A 21 year old is probably having sex with Brooks. All the bleach in the entire United States isn’t enough to purge the image of Brooks having sex with anyone from my brain. But a 21 year old?? Minus 75. I have a major case of the heebie jeebies right now. And the dry heaves. Lauri doesn’t have any concrete evidence about the probably sex. She just knows he met the girl at a poker party and he was throwing Benjamins at her. Probably Vicki’s Benjamins . Minus 14. Vicki’s kind of devastated because she still has feelings for Brooks. (Why? He’s a disgusting leech! Who probably had sex with someone his daughter’s age!) The girl Brooks has probably had sex with has made porn videos before. And Lydia says that talking about this feels extra dirty because they’re in a room surrounded by white wedding gowns. Gretchen’s come to life now that Vicki’s been knocked down a peg and Alexis has left. When Tamra comes out in The Dress, they all start to cry a little. Heather makes a toast. Tamra says the dress costs $10,000. Yes, 4 zeroes. This one better be worth it. Tamra wants to take a picture of herself and the ladies, and Vicki has to walk away and cry for a minute. She can’t get herself together. Lydia and Lauri go to console her and Lauri says she feels like she’s always the messenger. Well, Lauri, that’s because so far you are. Minus 8 . After shopping, the ladies head to dinner. Tamra finds out that Brooks broke up with Vicki. Then Lauri fills her in on the probably sex Brooks probably had with an under 21 year old girl. Heather asks if Vicki really needed to know the information. Lauri would want to know. Lydia says she would want to know. Heather wouldn’t want to know. Vicki comes back to the table and they order tequila. Plus 9. After a visit from the chefs, Heather tells the ladies about her possible recurring guest-starring role on Malibu Country and Lydia says she’s gone from “Fancy Pants” to “Fancy Outfit.” Gretchen told Tamra that she had been offered a spot on Malibu Country and Heather says that the casting director denied ever offering Gretchen anything of the sort. Oops? Tamra’s pissed about catching Gretchen in this lie. Heather says there’s a chance she’s colossally confused, but Vicki calls her a liar about half a dozen times. Lydia feels squicky talking about Gretchen when Gretchen isn’t there and Lauri feels like this is a giant case of pot meeting kettle for Vicki given all the lies she’s told. Tamra’s also upset that she opened up to Gretchen about her life and now Gretchen’s lying to her. Bad form, Gretchen. Bad form. EPISODE TOTAL: -87 SEASON TOTAL: -190
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
Previously on The Real Housewives of Orange County, Vicki invited Alexis to a party at Tamra’s new gym. Because nothing says “let’s be friends again” like inviting your former friend’s worst enemy to a party. Oh, Vicki. What else will Lady Gunvalson stir up? Read our THG +/- recap to find out now! Alexis comes to visit Vicki and gives her a little Rah Rah about her plastic surgery. And a mirror so she’ll always know how beautiful she is. Okay, okay, it’s kind of sweet. Plus 4 . Vicki drops the bomb on Alexis that she wants Alexis to come to the party at Tamra’s with her. When Vicki says she needs Alexis there, Alexis’ tone changes. Alexis wants to bring Lydia so Vicki texts Tamra to find out if that’s okay. Tamra’s response: “Yeah. I just don’t want any nonsense. This is supposed to be a happy time.” Just to recap, Alexis agrees to go to a party where she knows she’s not really wanted and asks to bring a guest. Minus 8 . Heather’s got a gig on a talk radio station. She filling in for one of their regulars to try and figure out how big the career piece of her life puzzle is. Plus 5 . Heather decides to tackle the topic of bullying on her radio show since she’s been accused of bullying Alexis. Heather tells the story of how she was bullied growing up and says that what happened to Alexis wasn’t bullying. Lydia and Alexis are getting the kids together to decorate cookies. Lydia answers the door in a skirt so short her butt is actually hanging out of it. Or maybe those are shorts? While they’re outside, Lydia tells Alexis about her meeting with Heather. Someone needs to make a gif of Alexis drinking her coffee when Lydia tells her that she knows about Cubic Zirconia-gate. Plus 4 to the person who makes that happen. Back at Casa Dubrow, Terry’s tired and doesn’t want to go out to dinner with Doug and Lydia. The Dubrows are still angling for the magazine cover, but Doug lets them down and Terry cracks a joke. Heather’s not amused. Heather says they’re not interested and Lydia seems bummed. Lydia tells the table that her mother just moved into Alexis’ old house and conversation eventually turns to the fact that Lydia will be at the party at Tamra’s gym as a guest of Alexis. Heather’s so great under pressure. Plus 5 . Slade is headed to New York to be with his son who is having another surgery. Gretchen breaks down when she thinks about how hard this is for Slade. Tamra’s getting ready for her party when Eddie comes in. She asks for advice about her dress and then snaps at him. Misplaced aggression, party of one! Minus 5 She’s upset that she said yes to Alexis being welcome at her party and hopes she will be able to keep her cool. Tamra bought special wine glasses for Gretchen and Heather but not for any of the other guests at her party. That’s sure to go over well. Minus 8 . Lydia’s a “woohoo” girl. Just like Vicki. Minus 10 . Tamra decides that Lydia is guilty by association despite the fact that Heather tries to stick up for her. Tamra has a psychic medium come over to cleanse and bless her space. The psychic feels like there will be 6 weeks until the gym is open instead of 4 and then says that the night will be smooth. Something tells me she’s not the real deal. Vicki, Lydia, and Alexis walk in and no one gets up to greet them. Heather tells Alexis it’s nice to see her and Alexis immediately calls her a phony in a one-on-one. Minus 7. She gives her peace offering to Tamra and says that businesswoman to businesswoman she wishes Tamra the best. Plus 10 . Tamra takes the ladies over to the renderings of the gym and explains what things will look like once it’s all set up and things seem to be going smoothly. Until they all sit down again. Alexis says “it takes a lot! Even a small dress line. It takes a lot!” Minus 15. Lydia thinks the room feels tense and like it’s clear that she, Alexis, and Vicki aren’t welcome to sit with the “cool” girls. Conversation is so awkward and stilted as Lydia starts grilling Gretchen on whether she has kids or is married or has a boyfriend. Gretchen says she’s got a boyfriend who is a great man and Vicki looks like she smelled something foul. Minus 12 . Tamra starts talking about the area and how she likes it because it’s industrial and Vicki interrupts with “it’s across the street from my office!” Minus 8 . Gretchen starts muttering under her breath that it’s all about Vicki again. Vicki does have a habit of doing that. Tamra asks about Troy and Vicki says “I’ve got a baby now!” Gretchen says “You’ve got a baby?” And Vicki mutters “She’s a stupid person.” Minus 8 . Heather looks so, so uncomfortable during the entire exchange and then asks if dinner’s ready. Vicki thanks Tamra for letting her bring Alexis and Tamra asks, in the spirit of honesty, why Alexis wanted to come. Once Alexis starts talking, she doesn’t stop. She’s all “bullying” and “ganging up on me” and “y’all are mean!” Minus 50 . Heather doesn’t say a word to Alexis and Alexis even starts in on Heather. Tamra says she felt she was gracious for even allowing Alexis to step foot in her space. Heather tries to have a conversation and Alexis keeps yelling over her. Tamra tries to give Heather the floor but Alexis tells her to butt out. Minus 25. And that leads Tamra to tell Alexis to get the f*** out. EPISODE TOTAL: -128 SEASON TOTAL: -27
The Game is speaking out about the beating of 40 Glocc he administered the other day, saying the violent encounter with the former G-Unit rapper was warranted. Short story, according to Game: It could’ve been worse. Game explains the beef as such: Allegedly 40 started a Twitter account posing as Game’s oldest child and had used the bull$h!t account to trash Game. That’s when he and his crew set out for some payback:
Snooki and Jionni LaValle have revealed what they will name their baby boy. No, it’s not Jionni Jr., or Meatball, or Lil Guido, or Frankie G, or Vinny Jr. It’s Lorenzo!! The news was accidentally spilled earlier today by her Jersey Shore co-stars while they were being interviewed by USA Today about the new season. The 24-year-old and Jionni LaValle , who are engaged, announced they are expecting a boy in May, and Lorenzo was on her short list of names then. Snooki has already had one baby shower, which was filmed for the MTV series. Another shower, the source said, is likely to happen early next month. Snooki ‘s due in September. Will she be a good mom?
On Part 2 of The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion , Gretchen Rossi reportedly accuses Vicki Gunvalson of cheating on her husband with Brooks Ayers. Vicki’s daughter Briana Wolfsmith triggers a vicious war of words between her mom, Gretchen Rossi and Tamra Barney on the combative reunion special. The fight was triggered when host Andy Cohen asks Briana about Vicki’s relationship with now-beau Brooks Ayers before she was separated from husband Don. Briana did not hold back. “I’ve known that name for years and never liked him,” Briana says, as if her feelings toward Brooks weren’t clear already. “He’s been around for a long time.” Gretchen Rossi, whose blowouts with Vicki are legendary, weighs in, “You were accusing a lot of stuff with me, wow … I just think it’s funny you were so accusatory of me.” “I was!” Vicki snaps. “I was doing nothing of the same things!” “Why would it be weird? My husband was having an affair for 20 years,” she says in her own defense . “This is not the forum to be discussing … he’s not an angel.” This spills over into the ongoing Tamra Barney-Vicki Gunvalson feud, as Tamra jumps in, offering to disclose a salacious tidbit about Vicki’s vacation hijinks. Vicki then calls Tamra “disgusting,” denying her claims she woke up naked with a man in Costa Rica … and so on. Should make for quality television. Tell us: Whose side are you on in the RHOC feud?
