It was off to whine wine country this week for the ladies of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Well, all of them except for Alexis Bellino, because no one was crazy enough to try and make that happen after the big gym-warming party fiasco.

From the get-go Tamra Barney was whiny about Vicki Gunvalson's involvement in their business, Wines by Wives, which was the purpose of the trip. Of course, Gretchen Rossi was there egging Tamra on any chance she got. Vicki did seem a bit uninterested in the whole thing based on what we saw, but she also was there all alone while everyone else was coupled up and was clearly having a hard time dealing with that. Can you blame her?

When Vicki announced she had to leave, Tarma was pissed. Instead of telling her they needed to talk or schedule a business meeting where they could sit down and calmly discuss things, Tamra -- once again -- flipped out.

Oh Mah Gah! It's a match made in heaven: Former Bachelorette Emily Maynard and Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger had a meeting of the minds recently. The two met for drinks with Kim Kardashian's buddy Jonathan Cheban (yeah, I have no idea). "Giving dating advice to my fav pals @jonathancheban @emilymaynard," Patti tweeted. "Great dinner at Beverly grill. Do you think they should come on mm?" Emily, say yes, say yes!

Who wouldn't want to see Em on Patti's fun high-stakes dating show? I can't believe it hasn't happened already. Patti is a blast (I'm such a fan), but beneath the Kewpie-doll eyelashes is a very savvy and wise matchmaker. She could really make it happen for Em. But is Emily really ready to find luuuuv?

Well that was a close and dramatic one. It really looked like The Real Housewives of New York City was going to be cancelled due to the ladies and Bravo fighting over their salaries. It was down to the wire Friday with Bravo threatening to axe heads if they didn't sign their contracts that day. Fortunately, one by one, they did -- but not without a little drama.

According to Us Weekly, Ramona Singer was the first to sign early Friday. That's not surprising, as I don't think she does it so much for the salary as for the publicity for her other businesses. And because I think she just gets a kick out of it. Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, and Aviva Drescher all also signed without much fanfare. 

Two of the other RHONY ladies, however, dragged their heels all day, and didn't give in until the final hours on Friday.

In some of the most disturbing news as of late -- of the reality TV variety anyway -- sources say The Real Housewives of New York City could be cancelled. Can you imagine?!

Apparently, there are some pretty big disagreements about how  much the ladies will be making, and they and Bravo are having a big old standoff. According to The Hollywood Reporter, filming was supposed to have started Wednesday, but none of the ladies -- LuAnn de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer, Aviva Drescher, Carole Radziwill and Heather Thomson -- showed up, and they've all refused to sign contracts.

A source told the site, it's all about money. "What's currently on the table is unacceptable."

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo ... but when?! For months now, the world has waited and wondered when Alana and Mama June and Sugar Plum Fairy and Chuckles and Ding-Dong and Little Bunny Foo Foo (yes, I know those aren't the actual names of Honey Boo Boo's family members but close enough) would be back on TV where they belong. It's been sheer agony, quite frankly. But chin up ... hmm, what are Honey Boo Boo fans called? We've got TwiHards and Truebies ... Boobies, perhaps? Anyway, chin up, people who like Honey Boo Boo, because we finally know when the Boo Boo Bunch is coming back: July 17th at 9 p.m.! Woo-hoo!

Uhhhhh, what? I'm not exactly sure how it happened, but somehow Sean Lowe was voted best Bachelor out of all of the dudes and gals who have held the coveted title of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette.

Yep, People magazine did a poll -- and Sean wound up with 40 percent of the vote, making him the most loved contestant of all time.

How in the heck did that happen?

Sure, Sean's a really nice guy and his season was adequately entertaining -- but I wouldn't go so far as to call him the best of the best.

Sam Poueu and Stephanie Anderson had one of reality television's most heartwarming romances. After meeting on The Biggest Loser, Poueu proposed on the show in 2010, and they married in April 2012. This January, they announced they were expecting a baby, and it looked like had found their happily ever after. So today's news that they are divorcing is especially shocking.

They've been through some of life's biggest ups and toughest downs together, many of which we watched play out before our very eyes. They literally went through thick and thin together (they lost a combined total of almost 250 pounds), and even sickness and health as Anderson had to nurse Poueu back to health after he fell from a 54-foot high roof deck.

So what could it be now that's so serious that they are going to split when their baby's arrival is just weeks away?

Looks like Farrah Abraham really is on a mission to be overexposed -- in more ways than one. Right on the heels of her Vivid sex tape's release, the Teen Mom star has signed a deal to be the spokesperson for a "diet and fat-loss pill" called Raspberry Tones. In turn, she's gonna score a paycheck in the low six figures. It's unclear whether or not the company tapped Farrah before or after porn tape went public ... TMZ was told it was the bikini photos that surfaced last month that piqued their interest. Either way, they seem happy to have her shill for them.

A rep for the company told TMZ, "Farrah represents a growing audience of young, active people who take care of their health and use only natural products to look and feel great. Farrah looks fit and fabulous and takes care of her body, and a lot of health-conscious people can look up to that." Oookay ...
