Real Housewives of Orange CountySomewhere out there Tamra Barney's ex, Simon Barney, is saying, see what I had to put up with! after tonight's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. It all started when Tamra and her hottie boy toy Eddie Judge invited Vicki Gunvalson and her new man Brooks Ayers to Catalina for a little getaway to celebrate Tamra's birthday.

You knew things weren't going to end well when Tamra started tweezing Eddie's nose and ear hair against his will in the limo; and it quickly became clear that their honeymoon phase was long, long behind them.

The 5 Steamiest 'Real Housewives' Scenes of All Time

Tamra BarneyLet's face it, the ladies of the Real Housewives of each and every city are much better known for their fighting than their loving. With all of that clawing and cattiness with one another, there's not much time for romance, but a few of them have managed to bring a little of it to the table.

Just like with everything else, these ladies push the limits when it comes to matters of the heart. In honor of Valentine's Day and love in all forms, let's revisit five of the steamiest, sexiest (or at least sex-filled) scenes in recent Real Housewives history.

'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Reunion Finale Recap: Kim Richards Sober Is a New Person

Posted by Julie Ryan Evans
on Feb 13, 2012 at 11:37 PM

Kim Richards and Andy CohenTonight was the third and final installment of the reunion for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It started where we left off last week with Taylor Armstrong revealing more horrific details about the abuse she alleged endured from her deceased husband, Russell Armstrong.

While it was awful to hear how he supposedly hid surveillance equipment in her car and in their home, and how he committed various other atrocities against her and some of their friends, Brandi Glanville really said it best when Andy Cohen probed her, "It freaks me out ... because he can’t defend himself." Exactly.

We also saw a brief and annoying appearance by semi-Housewife Dana Wilkey who added exactly nothing to the show or reunion. She made an attempt to make people feel sorry for her because of her rich/poor background, but just came off as more ridiculous than ever. Moving on ... hopefully for good from her.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Recap: A Much-Needed Reality Check in Africa

Posted by Julie Ryan Evans

NeNe LeaksThe first few days they were in South Africa, the ladies of The Real Housewives of Atlanta were a complete embarrassment to themselves and all Americans. NeNe Leakes and Marlo Hampton led the way for sure, but all of them and their ridiculous quarreling over who got the best rooms and who got invited to what party was just painful to watch.

From throwing up a "rain shower" of money while dancing in a club to demanding hair and makeup artists before going on safari, Marlo is adamant about making her moneyed ways known. But as another Housewife once sang, money can't buy you class, which was more than apparent when Marlo showed up for the safari in sequined disco pants. Classy they were not.

'Jersey Shore' Recap: JWoww & Roger Are Damned?

Posted by Julie Ryan Evans

JWowwTonight's episode of Jersey Shore was mostly a mind-numbing mix of the same old things. We saw Pauly D and Vinny hooking up with any woman who would take them with a bonus stalker thrown in; Snooki and Deena getting blotto drunk and doing disgusting things (Snooki laying on the Smush Room bed when it had no sheets, ewwwww!); and Mike continuing to display just how pathetically vile and childish a grown man can be.

But the real issue at hand in this episode was JWoww's relationship with Roger. They've been doing so well for so long, but recently hit a rocky patch. When the guys ran into Roger on the boardwalk last week, and Jenni had no idea he was there, that's when the problem started. This week we saw it fester.

A Courtney Robertson Sex Tape Will Make 'Bachelor' Ben Want Her Even More

Posted by Mary Fischer
on Feb 9, 2012 at 4:09 PM

OMG. Can someone please tell me what in the hell is wrong with Ben Flajnik? Because there's just no way that he can be smart enough to own and operate a successful winery and still be dumb enough not to have figured out that Courtney Robertson is playing him like a cheap game of strip poker. That is, of course, unless he's sucking back way too much of the "drink" while on the job.

There have been some pretty nutty chicks who have appeared on past seasons of The Bachelor, so it's really not that big of a surprise that there is someone who has a major screw loose this time around. But seriously, Courtney takes the whole "crazy mean girl" thing to an entirely different level. She's certifiably nuts.

And just when we thought Courtney couldn't possibly get any more bizarre, new rumors suggest that she may have a sex tape floating around. Pick your jaw up off the floor, already. Are you really that shocked?

Kim Kardashian Should Embrace a Televised Divorce

Posted by Julie Ryan Evans
on Feb 8, 2012 at 11:01 PM

Kim KardashianJust when it looked like Kim Kardashian could walk away from her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries with nothing more than a little damaged image (nothing Kris Jenner couldn't fix eventually), The Hump has come out swinging. He wants to expose her and reality television in general for what he says they are -- a fraud.

According to Radar Online, The Hump's attorney wants to question Kim, Kris Jenner, and E! specifically about the Kourtney & Kim Take New York scene in Dubai where Kim broke down to her mom about her marriage. Humphries claims that was filmed two months after the breakup of their marriage, and that right there proves it was all a fraud. To make his case about this and other allegations, he wants to televise the divorce proceedings and show the world his great expose.

Can 'Real Housewives of Orange County' New Girl Heather Dubrow Hold Her Own?

Posted by Julie Ryan Evans
on Feb 8, 2012 at 9:41 PM

Heather Dubrow and Tamra BarneyLast night on the season seven premiere of The Real Housewives of Orange County, it was like poof! and all of a sudden Heather Dubrow was a new housewife. There was no gradual introduction into the group; rather one minute she was turning up her nose at a $4.9 million piece of property, and the next she was in a limo with Tamra Barney and Peggy Tanous on the way to Vicki Gunvalson's party.

We know she's thin, rich, and "probably a bitch," according to Tamra, but what else do we know about this brave new soul willing to join one of the most catty and aggressive groups of Housewives there is? She seems much too normal and classy on the surface to subject herself to their drama, but what's she really all about? And more importantly, can she really deliver the drama? Here are five fascinating things we've learned about new Housewife, Heather Dubrow:

DWTSDancing With the Stars Season 14 cast rumors are in full force these days, and after all the hype surrounding the Super Bowl, it's no surprise the DWTS producers have their eyes on a few football studs for the upcoming season. One football hottie who didn't make the DWTS cut? Tom Brady. Whatever, he's way too busy throwing (and not catching, right Gisele?) the ball to make that kind of commitment.

But these four NFL stars, on the other hand, might be turning in their shoulder pads for Season 14 ...

Paula Abdul’s Return to ‘X Factor’ Is Only a Matter of Time

Posted by Kim Conte
on Feb 8, 2012 at 1:00 PM

Paula Abdul and Simon CowellIf you were deeply saddened by the news that Paula Abdul was let go from X Factor, a new interview with Simon Cowell might perk you up. In a rare moment of candid humility, Cowell actually admitted to Extra that he blames himself for having to let her go because he set unreasonable expectations for the show (remember him bragging about 20 million viewers?) and then had no choice but to fire her. Is your jaw on the floor, yet? Because wait ... there's more! He also said:

I would've liked to have kept [Paula]. She was very gracious, and I said that to her. She understands it's business; it's never personal.

Folks, I think it's pretty clear what's happening here, don't you?
