Maybe all of this rain in Southern California has muddied the waters for The Real Housewives of Orange County girls?  Let the mud-slinging commence.

 

 

Tamra Barney is definitely not playing the victim in this messy divorce battle with her estranged soon-to-be ex-husband Simon Barney. She and Simon have both spoken with Radar Online regarding an awkward run in they had at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. It seems Tamra has moved on, with one of Simon’s besties.  Simon is devastated, but still able to go clubbing, I suppose.

 

Gretchen Rossi is being sued by alleged ex-boyfriend Jay Photoglou for libel and slander. He is finally coming forward about their relationship. I wondered if he was ever going to talk, especially after Jo De La Rosa confirmed to Reality Wanted in a recent article, that Gretchen and Jay were indeed a couple. According to Jay, they were in a relationship while she was taking care of Jeff Beitzel. I feel sorry for Jeff’s kids….

 

Over on the east coast, The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast mate Danielle Staub is making a few waves amidst the snow flurries. Back in November, 2009 it turns out that she ran into Jacqueline Laurita, and her daughter Ashley, and Ashley attacked Danielle and pulled at her hair extensions. Ashley was found guilty and fined for the event. 

 

Danielle also told People that she was a born again virgin. Oh boy!

 

The Real Housewives of New York mom Ramona Singer has been doing well with her skin care line Tru Renewal, as well as her jewelry line and will be on HSN soon.

 

As for the rest of The Real Housewives of New York City gals, who are gearing up for their new season which airs March 4th, and will supposedly introduce 2 more Real Housewives, they are all busy selling those things that they sell…books mostly. I wonder what the two new girls will write about. Sonja Morgan and Jennifer Gilbert will be introduced to us soon enough! Perhaps we will be meeting two additions because this will be Bethenny Frankel's final season on the show?

 

And lastly, it is that time of year again….

 

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week will be descending on New York City, for the Fall 2010 fashion lines.  Dina Manzo from The Real Housewives of New Jersey is already tweeting about attending, and I am sure the New York gals will be right behind or in front of her, depending on Kelly Cutrone’s mood that day. (If you are not following Kell On Earth, you should be! Read about it here.)

 

I have to wonder, could this be Bravo’s busiest time of the year? Hopefully, they are chasing Rachel Zoe, Kelly Cutrone, all of the NYC Prep kids, and at least one group of The Real Housewives to get footage for all of their amazing reality television shows!

 

The best part is when worlds collide, like when Blow Out’s Jonathan Antin, who is now hosting Shear Genius, attends the Launch My Line series finale fashion show or The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Tamra Barney hanging out with The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa and Joe Giudice before Joe’s ill-fated DUI car accident…it makes my little heart just want to explode with excitement!

 

Ah, the little things in life!
