Kyle Richards just achieved quite a milestone – she wrapped filming on the first season of her sitcom “American Woman” which chronicles her childhood growing up a child star with the original pimpmomager in 70s L.A.

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star faced a lot of resistance from her own family over the project – sisters Kim and Kathy were vehemently against her exposing their family, but Kyle proceeded anyway and nabbed Alicia Silverstone to play her mom (the leading role) and get the show sold to TV Land.

To celebrate the first season wrap, and just in time for Halloween, Kyle threw a 70’s disco-themed bash with several of her RHOBH castmates. It doesn’t look like Kim or Kathy were in attendance though.

Lisa Rinna, Dorit Kemsley, Camille Grammer, and newbie Teddi Mellencamp all came in costume to support Kyle. I’m assuming Lisa Vanderpump and Erika Girardi were also there, but I can’t find any pics!

It may be the spookiest day of the year, but the news couldn’t be any sweeter for Camille Grammer! The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star is engaged to David C. Meyer, an LA lawyer who has been courting Camille for a year. Camille shared the happy news via Twitter this week when she posted the above pic with a cryptic message, “Party night with my love. We have a secret.. guess.”

The news was confirmed via various media sources shortly afterward, and by Camille herself – who’s been thanking followers and fans for their outpouring of support and congratulations.

As many RHOBH viewers remember, Camille started the franchise on a prickly note, but viewer reaction changed dramatically when news of her then-husband, Kelsey Grammer’s very public affair broke.

Camille and Kelsey ultimately divorced in 2011, and continue to share custody of their two children. However, they reportedly share very little communication with one another to this day.

After her divorce, Camille battled cancer, which she is currently in remission from. She also made abuse allegations against her former boyfriend, Dimitri Charalambopoulos, who she accused of assaulting her when she was recovering from cancer treatments.

Dimitri then sued Camille for defamation of character, but two years later, Camille’s counter-suit against that scumbag Dimitri awarded her $121,000 and dismissal of over half of Dimitri’s claims.

With that mess behind her, Camille has since focused much of her energy on raising awareness and funds for cancer treatment. Last year, she promoted a sneaker campaign to raise money for The Foundation For Women’s Cancer.

Now healthy and happy, Camille has been dating David, who lives in Malibu, for the past year. A source told PEOPLE that the couple is very much in love and that “There’s a casualness and easiness to their relationship. They’re a really happy, kind couple. He really loves her for her.”

Aww. Congrats to the happy couple! I’m rooting for these two. And I hope we get to see glimpses of David in Camille’s appearances on RHOBH this season!

There’s no better way to start out your weekend than with the best reality star Instagram posts of the week. No need to scroll through your feed or type in all of the names that matter. I got you covered and there was a lot going on this week and this is aside from the Halloween festivities.

The entire Jersey Shore cast (minus one person) got together to celebrate Deena Cortese’s wedding, getting me all nostalgic. The Real Housewives of Dallas stars gathered with Andy Cohen to film the Season 2 reunion and posted a group photo to show off their glamorous ensembles (and spray tans…most likely). Dorinda Medley and Tinsley Mortimer went all out when they dressed up as famous pop stars for Halloween. The Vanderpump Rules cast were living it up with appearances at the World Series and an LA clothing store launch. The Southern Charm crew made it very clear that they are filming the next season because they were turning up all over Charleston doing shotskis, watching Monday Night Football, and attending restaurant openings.

There was a Bravo crossover when Teresa Giudice hung out with former Housewives Brandi Glanville and Dina Manzo in Los Angeles. Not only that, but Teresa also managed to make it to her daughter’s soccer game in New Jersey in addition to doing a promotional appearance in Connecticut alongside Siggy Flicker, Dolores Catania, and Danielle Staub. She really is a super woman these days. LA, New Jersey, and Connecticut all within one week!? Props to her.

On a very interesting  note, Mike Shouhed’s ex wife Jessica Parido made it extremely clear that she has moved on with a very affectionate Instagram post featuring her new boo.

Check out the best of the best photos in this week’s Instagram Roundup below.

The post Instagram Roundup: Dorinda Medley, Teresa Giudice, Jax Taylor, The “Jersey Shore” Cast, & More appeared first on Reality Tea.

As the sole remaining original cast member on Real Housewives of New Jersey, it’s only natural that the Teresa Giudice we “met” during the first season is a lot different than the lady we are currently watching during Season 8. Aside from that iconic table flip, Teresa has been known for keeping her personal feelings private, slapping on a happy face, and acting like everything is all right even when it very clearly isn’t.

I’m all for this new Teresa. She’s zen when she needs to be, she throws objects to entertain us, and she is finally open about her resentment toward her husband Joe Giudice after her prison stint.

Teresa talked to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville in an interview for her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast. On a light note, Teresa shared that a lot of the fans she meets tell her, “You’re so much prettier in person. I get that all the time. I guess that’s a good thing.” I guess it’s better to hear that than to hear the opposite.

At this point everyone knows Teresa is the one who we can thank for getting Danielle Staub back on the show. After all, Real Housewives of New Jersey is essentially The Teresa Show, so it’s not surprising that she has some influence when it comes to the casting decisions.

Teresa shared, “I feel like she didn’t get a fair chance on the show. She was basically bullied.” Brandi concurred and said, “That’s happening on a lot of those shows. Everyone is leaving one person out. It happened to me.” She added, “Obviously it happened to me. I don’t have a job anymore.” And RHOBH has been lacking ever since – minus the stellar addition of Erika Girardi and her alter ego Erika Jayne.

Teresa wasn’t afraid to call out specific names when she discussed Danielle’s exit from the show after Season 2: “I’ll be honest, what happened on our show is, Caroline [Manzo] and Jacqueline [Laurita] refused to work with her.” Brandi responded with, “That’s some bull shit.”

Another casting issue that Teresa had was when she was blindsided by her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga and her cousin Kathy Wakile joining the show in Season 3 without anyone telling her. Obviously we all saw how that played out. Teresa won’t give Kathy the time of day, but she and Melissa are each other’s top allies on the show.

Nevertheless, Teresa admitted, “I didn’t sign up for that.” She added, “That was ugly to me. Caroline, Jacqueline, and Dina [Manzo] started the show together, so that’s something they decided to do together. I didn’t sign up to do this with my family. What happened on the show never really happened before until the show. It was terrible. To live that on the show and to be treated that way and to make my parents go through it and my kids, it was terrible.”

After Brandi commended Teresa for staying at events until every fan there got a photo, Teresa shared, “If they come out to see you, I want to give them the time that they took to come out to see me. If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t be her.” Exactly. It would be nice if other reality stars adopted this same gratitude.

Brandi called out one Housewife for being less than gracious, saying, “Some Housewives, I’m not saying their names – NeNe [Leakes] – just think their shit doesn’t stink. I just feel like we’re all here doing the same thing just trying to provide for our families.” I’m glad someone else sees it. NeNe is a great Housewife, don’t get me wrong, but she is no better than the rest of them. Well, she is better than a lot of them, but as far as the best of the best Housewives goes, NeNe is in that category with other worthy women.

Moving on to the current RHONJ season, Brandi made it clear that she wasn’t feeling Siggy Flicker. Teresa defended her friend saying, “Well, she knows everyone in Boca. When we went there, it was all her friends there” and “I like crazy people like that. I don’t judge. I laugh at her.” Plus, if it wasn’t for Siggy greeting her friends at the top of her lungs, there would be nothing meme-worthy from the Season 8 premiere episode.

Brandi asked Teresa how things are going with her husband Joe. Teresa said, “We’re good.” She revealed, “We can text. They have texting now.” This is definitely a good thing since Teresa seems to be one of the busiest people on the planet. She shared, “I go visit him when I can. The kids come first, their activities, sports, and work.” Speaking of her kids, Teresa said, “Thank god they’re pretty amazing and they’re standing strong too. They feed off of me. I wake up every morning with a smile on my face and that rubs off on them.”

Your favorite reality stars were out and about this week and of course they documented it all for social media.

Shockingly, Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador posted a photo with soon-to-be-ex David Beador and their daughter after they announced their intent to divorce. Stassi Schroeder shared a picture from her trip to Paris. Kelly Dodd hung out with Chef Ben Robinson. Luann de Lesseps rocked braids and hung out with RHONY alum Kelly Bensimon for a mirror selfie. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Camille Grammer held her own in Washington, DC.

Mercedes “MJ” Javid and Carole Radziwill participated in races. Housewives Teresa Giudice, Dorinda Medley, and Meghan Edmonds enjoyed some quality mother/daughter time with their girls.

Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian showed off their matching platinum locks. Kris also shared her super explicit birthday balloons that could only be from from her daughter Khloe Kardashian and her man NBA player Tristan Thompson.

Teen Mom stars Farrah Abraham, Jenelle Evans, and Maci Bookout shared some special moments with their fans. The OG of the OC Vicki Gunvalson celebrate her son’s new home in San Diego.

Check out all of those photos and more in this week’s Instagram Round Up below.

A slew of reality stars showed up to support Lisa Vanderpump as she celebrated the 2nd annual Vanderpump Dogs Foundation Gala at Taglyan Cultural Complex in Hollywood. Among her co-stars and friends in attendance: Vanderpump Rules stars Jax Taylor, James Kennedy, Scheana Marie (with on-again boyfriend Robert Valletta), Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix, as well as former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Joyce Giraud. She also drew support from other Real Housewives including Dolores Catania, Kameron Westcott, Melissa Gorga and more!

Lisa Vanderpump shared on Instagram about the gala: “Still reeling from our @VanderpumpDogs Gala. What an incredibly meaningful and memorable night, where friends, family and activists came together with one goal- to create a better world for dogs.”

She also honored Megan Leavey with the Dog Hero of the Year Award! “It was such an honor to have Megan Leavey, our Dog Hero of the Year, present at our @vanderpumpdogs gala! She is a true hero to this country, and the canine community, and we were thrilled to honor her service. And thank you former Mayor of West Hollywood and current Councilmember Lauren Meister for presenting her with this award!” Have you seen the movie based on Megan’s life yet? What’d you think?

OH, goody goody GOODY! My beloved Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills will soon be returning! All I want for Christmas is some Lisa Vanderpump, y’all! And just in time, season 8 premiers Tuesday, December 19th at 9/8c.

Changes are in the salty, sparkly Beverly Hills air – Eileen Davidson is out (and it doesn’t even look like she makes a cameo?), and it’s confirmed that Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave is stepping into Eileen’s tall blonde heels. The fitness coach and married mom of 2 is also the daughter of John Mellencamp, and is not at all shy about flexing her guns! 

Kyle Richards, Erika Girardi, Lisa Rinna, and Dorit Kemsley are all back, with lots of appearances by Camille Grammer. But thankfully no Brandi or Yolanda.

The preview showcases plenty of fabulous trips from NYC for Fashion Week, Japan for Lipsa’s daughters’ modeling careers, and finally to Berlin for the relaunch of Dorit’s bikini collection. And then there are the costumes, and the parties, and the celebrity special guests…

Of course, there’s also plenty of arguing! Erika warning prophetically that you have to “cut the head off the devil” and that all the fighting “boils down to three bitches who are competitive over friendship.” It appears that Teddi will definitely butt heads with Rinna, Dorit, and, also Erika, but surprisingly after all their fighting last season, Erika and Dorit have finally put panty bomb-bomb behind them and are friends! Yay. Oh, and even Vanderpump throws a hissy fit.

Well, I cannot wait. Bring on the diamonds, rose, many mini-ed pets, ridiculous fashions, and make it RAIN Beverly Hills drama.

You can check out the trailer here. And see cast photos below! I love the dark and grey color scheme. So film noir!

Teddi

Kyle, girl, that I Dream Of Jeanie hair… She just can’t get away from kaftan mindset can she. If it’s not the clothes, it’s the hair! HA!

Dorit is channeling some disco-fabulosity!

Yay! Camille. Wearing… mesh? Macrame?

The post Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 8 Premieres December 19th – Teddi Mellencamp Confirmed As New Housewife! appeared first on Reality Tea.

I’m not going to lie, I’ve read a lot of books “written” by the Real Housewives. In all honesty, I’ll consume just about any Bravo-related content, but I’m beyond excited for Erika Jayne’s first memoir.

She was introduced to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ladies as Erika Girardi, the wife of a lawyer thirty years older than she is, but we soon found out about her pop star alter ego Erika Jayne and fell in love with her. Even so, we don’t know that much about there. She has a carefully crafted persona and has remained a mystery for these past two seasons. The reality star announced that she had a book in the works this past July and now she has an official release date.

Erika posted a photo of the book cover called Pretty Mess on her Instagram page with the caption “#PrettyMess coming March 20, 2018! @SimonBooks.” Just in time for the end of the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

In July, Erika told E! News, “Without Erika Jayne, Erika Girardi would just be another rich bitch with a plane.” The fact that Erika is so casual about having a plane in such a casual manner is beyond intriguing to me. I want to know more about how she became the woman that the RHOBH fandom adores today.

Erika also said, “I hope my intimate story can inspire readers to become their own strong, confident and vibrant pretty messes.”

Publisher Jennifer Bergstrom told E! News, “This book proves why Erika Jayne is a fan favorite: She’s fun and she’s fearless—and for the first time, she’s here to tell all.” I’m so here for this. I want to know everything beyond Erika’s on stage persona and perfectly quotable one-liners.

Unfortunately, reality TV shows do not bless us viewers with new episodes every single week. Thank god for social media to fill in the gaps between seasons or just to give the fans a glimpse of what was happening behind the scenes to provide us with some additional content. This week’s Instagram Roundup of reality star photos does not disappoint.

The Real Housewives of New York ladies posted some great snaps. Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams shared a rare photo of herself rocking that no-makeup look. There is a photo of Southern Charm stars Craig Conover, (a now-blonde) Kathryn Dennis, and Kathryn’s son Saint that has plenty of Instagram users wondering if the long-time friends are currently dating. Hold up – Craig’s ex Naomie Olindo posted a photo with Kathryn and Danni Baird. So it looks like they’re all just friends, but you never know.

Kim DePaola aka Real Housewives of New Jersey’s notorious pot stirrer Kim D shared a photo from her latest business launch. Blac Chyna, Kourtney Kardashian, and Mercedes “MJ” Javid worked it with some hot selfies.

Worlds collided when Real Housewives of Potomac star Monique Samuels hung out with Porsha Williams. Ex Southern Charm cast member Landon Clements took a photo with Orange County Housewife Kelly Dodd. MJ Javid, her boyfriend Tommy Feight, and Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Marie hung out at the Vanderpump Dogs Gala.

Vinny Guadagnino made an amazing Jersey Shore reference in his caption for a photo he posted with former costar Ronnie Magro. Kenya Moore shared a photo with her new husband Marc Daly – probably to debunk rumors about how “real” their marriage is.

We scrolled through Instagram so you don’t have to. Check out the most interesting reality star photos from this week in the latest edition of Instagram Roundup.

There is just so much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. Obviously, health and happiness are high up on the list, but somewhere after the main priorities in life, the dedicated TV viewers are thankful for their favorite reality stars. Aside from spending time with family and devouring delicious foods, there’s no better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than by enjoying some reality star photos in the latest edition of Instagram Roundup. It’s also a lot better than indulging in awkward or boring conversation with your least favorite relatives.

There were just so many random (and juicy) things going on this week! Real Housewives of New Jersey pot stirrer Kim D was hanging out with former cast members Jacqueline Laurita and Amber Marchese to talk shit about Teresa at a friend’s baby shower. Love & Hip Hop star Joseline Hernandez shared a photo with her and Cynthia Bailey’s ex husband Peter Thomas. Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent shared a selfie from church (yes, you read that correctly) and she even made it to Kathy Wakile’s pizza restaurant in New Jersey- if that is not the most random pairing in the world, then I don’t know what is. Oh wait, yes I do: Whitney Sudler-Smith at a baby shower with Reese Witherspoon. I have so many questions about that one.

Check out the most interesting photos from the last week in the gallery below!

Anyone who watches Real Housewives of Orange County knows that Kelly Dodd does not hold back when she has a drink or two in her. Hell, she doesn’t hold back when she’s dead sober. This season Kelly managed to be to strike that perfect balance of being a “tell it like it is” person and someone who is likable and enjoyable to watch.

Now that the worst season in RHOC history is over and the reunion episodes have aired, Kelly is spilling all of the details on what really went down behind the scenes. She gets into why she didn’t go with Vicki Gunvalson to the Iceland hospital, why production had no idea Kelly was going to be at The Quiet Woman the night Shannon Beador threw a full plate of food at her, and which cast members need to get the boot next season.

Kelly talked all about Season 12 of RHOC in an interview for the Juicy Scoop With Heather McDonald podcast. Kelly revealed that she’s back on the dating scene (which will be amazing to watch next season) when she said, “I went on one date and a guy had on True Religion jeans on and I was like ‘What the f***!?'” Apparently that’s not going to work out since Kelly said, “I thought he was cute. I had beer goggles, obviously.”

Moving on to the show, Kelly had a confusing take on costar Lydia McLaughlin. She said, “No one likes Lydia, but I have to say she’s probably the best.” So does that mean she does like Lydia or she doesn’t like Lydia? Kelly added, “She’s just genuinely like a nice, good person. She really is.” But is Kelly one of those (many) people that dislike Lydia?

One person that Kelly is definitely a fan of is Lydia’s mother Judy. Kelly said, “She’s awesome. She just gets high all the time.” Heather McDonald asked, “Does she smoke weed at these parties?” Kelly shared, “She rolls up her own joints. It’s great.” Then Kelly shared the best idea: “I want Judy on. That’s the jam right there.” That would be a way more interesting casting move than having Lydia on as a Housewife.

Kelly described the cast vacation in Iceland by saying, “That was the worst f****ng trip of my life.” It wasn’t the best look for Kelly and the rest of the ladies to order a big dinner while Vicki was in a hospital, but she actually has an interesting explanation for her lack of concern.

Kelly confessed, “This is behind closed doors, but I do have ADD.” Truthfully, no one is shocked by that admission. Anyway, Kelly continued, “Vicki and I didn’t sleep for days and those bitches slept. These bitches get paid a lot of money and they went to sleep. We went out and they went to sleep, so I said, ‘Here, have an Adderall.’ So I give Vicki an Adderall and she goes ‘I’m having a heart attack.’ I go, ‘No you’re not, bitch. You’re just having an anxiety attack.’ It’s waking you up, bitch, right? Then I go, ‘I have a Xanax,’ so I knew she was fine.” She also admitted, “I was hungry.” Kelly giving Vicki and Adderall and a Xanax would be way more interesting than what we were subjected to watching. That definitely would have made for way better TV.

Kelly backtracked to her infamous confrontation with Shannon at the Quiet Woman. Kelly admitted, “I was shit faced. I was on a boat with free drinks. If it’s free, it’s for me.” I completely understand, Kelly.  A lot of people thought that the whole thing was staged, but Kelly explains what really went down. She recalled, “I had to go pee so bad and they’re like -what are you doing here?- the production- because everyone thinks it was like fake. It was not set up.”

Kelly continued, “Let me explain because no one knows this. My girlfriend’s sister is from Philadelphia and she’s like ‘I’m a really huge fan of the show’ and I was like ‘Those bitches are filming at The Quiet Woman right now.’ And she goes, ‘Oh my god. Can we see?’ And I look like shit. I didn’t have any makeup on and my hair was fucked up.” Kelly added, “And she’s like ‘please.'” As we all know, Kelly did end up showing up at the restaurant. Kelly explained her conversation with production that night: “‘I have to pee now’ and they’re like ‘We need to mic you.’ And I’m like ‘No. Fuck that. I’m going to pee right now.’ That’s when I ran into Shannon and I wasn’t even mic’ed, so it wasn’t fake at all.

And it was the most exciting confrontation of the season BY FAR. Thank god for Kelly’s friend’s sister for getting Kelly to show up at The Quiet Woman. That person deserves an Edible Arrangement and/or a “thank you”card from the production company for making that night happen.

One of the fans sent in a question asking “Who from all the franchises needs to go?” Without hesitation, Kelly said, “Peggy [Sulahian] and Meghan [Edmonds], the boring ass bitch that she is.” She also discussed the candle party that Meghan had during the season finale saying, “It wasn’t even her candle party. It is her friend that owns it. Stupid, fake bitch.” A Real Housewife hosting a party for a business that isn’t even her business- you don’t say!? We’ve never seen anything like that before on these shows…

The podcast took a totally random turn when Heather mentioned that Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Taylor Armstrong lives right next door to Vicki in Coto. Kelly said, “Her husband is the nicest guy, I’m like how are you putting up with it? She must be doing anal.” Maybe Taylor will join the RHOC cast next season? Vicki could definitely use a friend on this show.

A fan wanted to know why Vicki left for the hospital with a robe covering her face. Kelly revealed, “The producers told her she looked like shit. I swear to god.” Heather asked, “The producer put the robe over her head?” Kelly confirmed, “Stephanie put the robe over her head because she looked like shit.” Damn. Vicki was having a fake heart attack and she was getting insulted for her appearance- definitely not her best night. Kelly admitted, “I wish they showed the bloopers of what goes down because that’s even more funny. I think it’s way more hilarious than the show.” I bet it is, especially this season.

Another fan brought up Taylor again asking if Kelly thought she would be on the show next season. Kelly responded in the most Kelly way possible, by saying, “Fuck no.” She even said, “Heather Dubrow would be more in the mix. I think Heather Dubrow might come back. I see her every morning at orange theory. Bitch, don’t you have a 10,000 square foot gym with a private trainer? What are you doing at the orange theory?”

After her rant about seeing Heather at orange theory and her attempts to avoid Heather by switching up the times she attends class, Kelly insisted, “I like Heather Dubrow. I think she’s cool. I think she’s very kind.

And then Kelly revealed a very interesting piece of information. She actually interviewed to be on the show long before she ended up being a cast member and she said, “They picked Lydia over me when she was on there first.” So you’re telling me we could have been blessed with years of Kelly Dodd and instead we ended up with Lydia for two seasons (and possibly a third)? That just doesn’t seem right. AT ALL.

It is the most wonderful time of the year! Not only are there great reality TV shows on right now, but also the winter holidays are coming up! This means that your favorite reality stars are getting festive, picking out and decorating their Christmas trees and attending big parties. They’ve shared some great photos for this week’s Instagram Roundup for their fans and followers to enjoy.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Eileen Davidson and her family chose their Christmas tree. Former Real Housewives of Orange County star Alexis Bellino went to the Christmas tree farm with her family. Terry Dubrow shared a photo of his wife Heather Dubrow decorating a massive tree at the infamously mysterious (and expensive) Chateau Dubrow. Ex Real Housewives of New York star Kristen Taekman carried her family’s tree with help from her husband Josh Taekman.

Hot on the heels of a super dramatic Kim D cameo appearance from the last episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey, Siggy Flicker and Dolores Catania attended another Posche Fashion show. That is sure to sit well with the rest of the New Jersey Housewives.

Teen Mom 2 stars Leah Messer, Jenelle Evans, and Chelsea Houska shared some precious family photos. Meghan Edmonds’ husband Jim Edmonds posted an adorable photo of their daughter (and soon-to-be big sister) Aspen laughing while she drove her toy BMW. Of course a RHOC baby has a toy BMW. I love it.

Southern Charm star Kathryn Dennis shared a sweet photo with her two kids. Love & Hip Hop star Cyn Santana showed off her growing baby bump with a selfie. Cameran Eubanks shared a very real post-breastfeeding photo with milk splatter on her t shirt.

Dorit Kemsley, Cynthia Bailey, and Asa Soltan Rahmati got all glammed up so they could post some fierce selfies.

Check out all of these pics and more in the latest edition of Instagram Roundup.

Pics or it didn’t happen- right? Or at least it seems like the case for most reality TV stars which does make sense since they do live out some of their biggest moments in front of a reality TV crew. So it’s not surprising that they shared some great photos for this week’s Instagram Roundup. This is especially true during the holiday season. It seems like almost everyone is getting into the holiday spirit these days.

Real Housewives Of New York cast members Ramona Singer, Carole Radziwill, Dorinda Medley, and Tinsley Mortimer got together for the annual Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center. Jersey Shore star Jenni “JWOWW” Farley’s two kids sat on Santa Claus’ lap.

Teen Mom stars Jenelle Evans, Chelsea Houska, Kailyn Lowry, and Leah Messer posted some adorable family photos.

Kandi Burruss shared some behind the scenes snaps from the Xscape concert tour. Of course she and her husband Todd Tucker both posted photos, but Todd Chrisley  also stopped by the tour to hang with Kandi and Tamar Braxton.

There were also plenty of PDA pics. James Kennedy was on hand to support his girlfriend Raquel Leviss at her beauty pageant. Javi Marroquin and Briana DeJesus made out for the camera. Brielle Biermann and her man Michael Kopech enjoyed some time on the beach.

Check out all of that and more in the photo gallery for this week’s Instagram Roundup.

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills is back (glee!) and with it includes the newest blonde Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave. Teddi, a mom of two, is also a wellness accountability coach who channeled her passion into the business LA Fitness Junkie. Her goal is to help others – mostly women – feel good about themselves through health and fitness.

Teddi claaaaims she’s not one to look for drama, but she’s not afraid of it either. “I’m straightforward and I tell it like it is,” she explains.

In a season filled with ups and downs, Teddi quickly made friends with Dorit Kemsley and Lisa Vanderpump – even though she doesn’t actually like shopping. SAY WHAT?! “I’m not one to force a connection,” says Teddi. “They made it super fun and easy and comfortable for me. But I have a lot of fun with Kyle [Richards], too. She makes me laugh!”

Teddi is married to Edwin Arroyave, and is the mother of Slate, 5, and Cruz, 3. She’s also the daughter of legendary rockstar John Mellencamp, and YES! he will make an appearance this season. Teddi gushed to People that her dad is the best grandpa. “He’s so much fun with them.”

In other news, Erika Girardi is once again gearing up for a drama-filled season. Lets just hope it doesn’t involve panties. In any capacity.

“I think she’s interesting,” Erika says of Teddi. “I think she had some good days and some bad days – just like the rest of us.

One thing is certain Erika will certainly find herself getting into trouble this season. The delightfully dramatic RHOBH preview shows her sniping, “You have to cut the head off the devil,” but Erika’s not telling which devil she means – although it’s not Dorit! “We’ve been able to move on completely,” Erika revealed, but added, “I think you’re going to see a shift in a lot of relationships this season.”

One person who isn’t changing is Lisa Rinna. She’s up to causing mischief again this season, but Erika swears it’s unintentional. “I don’t know necessarily that Lisa likes to stir up trouble; Lisa tells the truth, you know, the way she sees it.”

Well, this sounds like it will be a fascinating season and I cannot wait!

The Bravo network really is the gift that keeps on going. No one is more aware of that than the king of Bravo himself, Andy Cohen, who blessed us all with an amazing, holiday themed episode of Watch What Happens Live.

Andy dubbed the night 12 Doorbells of Christmas. The guests were everything – for the most part. I won’t point out who I wasn’t as excited to see (since it should be pretty obvious), but I can’t help getting pumped for any Bravolebrity if I’m being honest.

First up was Erika Jayne, who was definitely not channeling the lawyer’s wife Erika Girardi, with her unconventional Christmas ensemble. Then again, she was wearing a blazer, so the look could be considered an Erika Jayne & Erika Girardi hybrid.

Andy told the self-proclaimed Pretty Mess, “You’re in the new Paper Magazine. I love it. What was your husband’s reaction to it?” Erika said, “Why is everybody having such a meltdown? It’s art. It’s Paper Magazine.” And let’s be honest, Tom Girardi didn’t take issue with the alter ego, the catsuits, the lyrics, the dance moves, or anything else she does, so why would this photo shoot bother him? This is pretty tame in terms of Erika Jayne’s antics. He either didn’t care or he totally loves it. Either way, he’s not losing any sleep over this one.

Kyle Cooke was the next one to ring the doorbell. Andy shared, “I’m very excited about the new season of Summer House.” Kyle admitted, “So am I. And terrified.” Andy confirmed, “You should be.” And now I’m excited for Summer House.

Kim Zolciak sat next to Erika and Andy pointed out, “Our two recording artists from Bravo.” Kim was so excited to see Erika that she admitted, “I’m like starstruck, Andy Cohen.”

Then Gizelle Bryant popped in, which prompted Andy to share, “I don’t know if I’m allowed to say it, but I saw the first episode of Potomac the other day. It is great!” Let’s hope so. Season 2 was definitely better than Season 1, but I still need more from this show to feel like I am truly invested.

Then Andy had his best idea yet: A Kim Zolciak and Erika Jayne duet. Kim said, “I would love to do it, but like give it my all this time.” Does this mean that she did not actually give her all when she recorded “Tardy for the Party” or “Google Me” back in the day? Color me shocked. These two have my seal of approval for the duet though. I just hope that means they do a music video as well. The GIFs and memes would be endless. I am all in on this idea – not that my opinion matters, but if it did, they have my full support.

It wouldn’t be a Bravolebrity gathering if Sonja Morgan didn’t stop by the clubhouse. Andy said, “Sonja, you look great. You look like you’ve lost a little weight since I saw you last. You’re so thin. I don’t want you to get too thin.” That last part was probably better for a one-on-one conversation away from a camera crew. Sonja didn’t seem fazed by the comment. She just told him, “Well, OK. Some like ’em fat and some like ’em thin.”

Then Andy introduced a “Frost the Shademan” graphic and a round of shade-inducing questions. Kim was asked to share three nice things about Kenya Moore and she said, “Hair, hair, hair.” That is quite the extensive list – a lot of variety there. Erika kept it nice by interjecting, “She does have pretty hair. ” She also added, “You know, I like her.” Say what you want about Erika, but she is a good friend – when someone she cares about is not in the room, she has her back against the shade. This is giving me flashbacks of Erika defending Yolanda Hadid (then Foster) during her first season as a Housewife in response to those Munchhausen accusations.

Later in the show, Erika told Kim, “I’m friendly with Kenya. That’s between you two.” Kim just remarked, “That’s nice.” Sonja added, “I’m friendly with Kenya.” Gizelle also threw in a “Me too.” Kim looked pretty uncomfortable wedged in the middle of the Kenya Moore fan club.

Kyle was asked, “Which Real Housewife would you want to ‘sleigh’ this Christmas?” Andy translated that to, “Out of all of the Housewives, who are you most attracted to?” It’s hard for me to picture Kyle watching any Bravo show that he’s not a part of, so I had no idea what to expect from his answer. He explained, “Well, I’m a little bit of a bad with names guy. I know Bethenny Frankel. She’s a great business woman. I would probably cozy up right next to her.” That was a surprising answer, but a good choice nonetheless.

Then Jax Taylor made his second clubhouse appearance this week. When he walked in, Kim muttered something, prompting Andy to ask, “Kim, what did you just say about Jax?” Kim revealed, “I just know that Brielle [Biermann] and him have talked.” Did they talk or did they “talk”?

Gizelle asked if they “kissed or something” and they both said no. Jax told Kim, “I love your daughter. She’s really sweet.” Kim responded with, “Yeah, she thinks the same about you.”

Of course, Andy asked, “How would you feel if Brielle started dating Jax?” Erika jumped in with an immediate, “No,” before she added, “I don’t even know Jax, but I just know Jax.” Kim said, “Same, but Brielle runs a tight ship, sweetie. I wouldn’t be too worried.”

Andy had the ladies play a game called Ho Ho Ho where they shared their opinions on some of Jax and Kyle’s antics. At one point he asked, “What are your thoughts on a guy that cheats on his girlfriend by having sex while an old lady is sleeping adjacent to you?” Gizelle declared, “Hell no,” which isn’t a shocking reaction to an incident like that. On the other hand, Kim remarked, “I think that’s fine.” Erika said, “That’s not that bad.” Really? Maybe they didn’t hear the part about cheating and they were just focusing on the old lady aspect.

Then Margaret Josephs and her national treasure of a mother Marge Sr. showed up to enjoy a holiday edition of Sonja’s burlesque act.

She told Andy, “It’s more cab than burlesque,” and it was absolutely everything. It couldn’t be described as “dancing,” but Sonja had a boa and said a lot of holiday-infused sexual innuendos. At one point, she mooned Andy and Erika had such a strong reaction that she dropped to the floor and said, “Oh my god. Did everybody see that? Oh my god.” If Erika is shocked, then the performance is definitely outrageous.

Sonja even ended it with this line: “All I want for Christmas is my missing front tooth.” AMAZING.

Tomorrow is the big day: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 8 premieres and we can’t wait for it! The cast got together in West Hollywood last night to celebrate the return of their show.

Hitting the red carpet were our favorite OG cast members: Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump and Camille Grammer. They were joined by returning co-stars Erika Girardi, Dorit Kemsley, Lisa Rinna and newcomer Teddi Mellencamp. A few of the RHOBH husbands hit the red carpet with their wives: Mauricio Umansky, Edwin Arroyave and Camille’s fiance, David C. Meyer.

After a pretty breezy first season, Erika Girardi faced some obstacles during her second round on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. With her third season coming up, Erika (and her alter ego Erika Jayne) knows what she’s in for and how to handle the drama.

Erika’s even opening up a little bit more beyond the catsuits and glam squad. Last season, Erika brought the camera crew home to visit her mother. Now she’s discussing that and sharing her advice for anyone else who wants to be a Real Housewife.

In an amazing interview (and Christmas-themed photo shoot) with Paper Magazine, Erika discussed the Real Housewife life. She explained, “It’s not easy. I think that some things should remain private, and they always will. I don’t think that anyone should be a complete and total open book.”

Erika discussed her reluctance to film at her childhood home: “Let’s just take my mother, for example. I did not want to go home, and I had a long conversation with the producers and I said, ‘Listen, this is a very sensitive part of my story, and I need to trust that you guys will help me out here.’ And they really did. They told the story as is, and I appreciate that.”

When asked if production was respectful when it comes to her boundaries, Erika said, “Well, sure. You can only share what you want to share. At the end of the day, you’re a grown person, and you can say no. You can always quit the show. You either want to do it or you don’t.”

Erika’s first season was a good look for her. Last season, she got into some drama which lead to some great GIF’s and memes, so I’m all for it. She explained, “If you’re living in the moment and you’re passionate, and you say something, perhaps it’s meant one way but it comes across another; well, you’re going to live with that. And maybe only you knew what you meant, but well, f-ck it. Too late now.” If it wasn’t for those passionate moments, last season would have been even worse than it already was. So we thank you, Erika.

At this point, Erika seems to have a pretty good handle on being a Real Housewife and she actually has some valuable advice for anyone else who wants to join the franchise: “Shut the f-ck up about things you weren’t there for. ‘Cause you don’t know anybody.” Is that her genuine advice, or is that some foreshadowing for the season to come? I’m hoping it’s a little bit of both. I need some genuine drama after sitting through two blah seasons of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.

After saying that, she wondered, “I’m sorry, is that rude?” She continued, “Believe me, you’re going to have to comment on stuff that happens in front of you, so just wait until that happens. ‘Cause if you go out on a limb, you’re going be the only one out there, honey. And no one’s coming to save you, girl.”

The post Erika Girardi’s Advice To New Housewives: “Shut The F*ck Up About Things You Weren’t There For” appeared first on Reality Tea.

Most former Housewives do not admit that they still keep up with the Real Housewives show. I don’t know if it’s because they have bruised egos and don’t want to admit that they watch or because they really don’t watch the franchise anymore, but Brandi Glanville is not one of those alums. She is a very avid Housewives viewer and she has a lot of opinions about everything and everyone on every show. One person that she took major issue with was the New Jersey new girl Margaret Josephs.

For the most part, the audience is really warming up to Margaret (minus the initial shock from the pigtails), and I just figured that Brandi would be one of those fans who loves her since they both take pride in their unfiltered humor. Unfortunately, part of Margaret’s story line struck a very personal cord with Brandi. Nope, Brandi does not have a desire to run a lifestyle brand or rehash childhood nicknames or claim a friendship with Joan Rivers. This is actually a LeAnn Rimes-related issue.

When Brandi invited Margaret to be a guest on her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast, Margaret probably had no idea that Brandi had a major bone to pick with her. Before getting into Brandi’s grievance, they made some small talk about the reunion taping. Margaret told her, “We just wrapped the reunion. It was very epic need I say more.” I feel like every Real Housewives reunion is described as “epic” by a cast member before it airs, so I will have to take that one with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, Jersey is coming through this year, so it is definitely possible.

Margaret admitted, “It wasn’t as intense as I thought it would be. People asked me about it on Twitter and I said “piece of cake” because I think I was so revved up to go to it and then I said to Teresa [Giudice], ‘That was not so bad.’” I guess we shall see soon enough.

And then Brandi shared her feelings with Margaret. She said, “There’s something that you say that really hits close to home and really hurts me.” She explained, “When you’re on national television you talking about missing your kids it’s almost like you’re taking ownership of another woman’s children. I feel like it really pissed me off because all you would have to say is, ‘I miss my step kids.’”

Clearly, Margaret wasn’t expecting that to be the main topic of conversation. She told Brandi, “Brandi, I raise them. Do you know that the mother never had custody of the kids?” Brandi insisted, “But, they’re still biologically her children.”

Margaret admitted, “I understand why you feel that way.” And of course Brandi responded with, “Because it happened to me.” The Marge insisted, “It was a whole different situation altogether. She really didn’t want to see them. She was not like you as a devoted mother.”

Margaret continued, “I didn’t want to call them my step kids because they were so ingrained in my soul. I wasn’t trying to take anything away from her. I was the one at their college and high school graduations. I did everything with them and we never banned her from seeing them.”

Margaret revealed, “I was the only one in the picture. Their mom wasn’t in the picture with them growing up.” Brandi wondered, “She’s in the picture now though?” Margaret said, “No, not really.” After that back and forth, Brandi concluded, “Well, OK then I guess I can give you a pass.”

After the talk with Margaret, Brandi discussed the interview with her producer. She admitted how much the step kids vs. kids verbiage was getting to her: “I was driving over here fuming because I was like ‘Am I going to be able to talk to this lady?'”

She shared, “She did it a lot. She was like ‘I really miss my kids,’ and she was crying. For me as a mother who has given birth, all you have to do is say ‘step.’ Even if you love them as your own kids, as you should and hopefully you do, you can’t take that ownership away from their mother- on TV, especially. It just hit me too close to home.”

Overall, the interview was a good move for Margaret since she did end up winning Brandi over by the end of it- well, for the most part. Brandi said, “I wanted to like her and then this thing came around and I was torn, but now I like her. But I still think she should say ‘step kids,’ even if she feels that they are her kids.” So I guess they will just agree to disagree on this one.
