The Real Housewives of... Gossip Has Moved!

Hey guys, I'm having some issues with my blogger account, so I have restarted this blog under my other site, The Hills Gossip. If you click here you will be redirected or click the link below! Sorry for the inconvenience.

The Lost Housewive Speaks On Lack of Airtime

There will be someone missing from the upcoming reunion episode of the reality television show "The Real Housewives of New York City."

That's Jennifer Gilbert, an event planner who was quietly introduced in recent weeks on the Bravo TV show as someone arranging a party for housewife Jill Zarin.

Believe it or not, Gilbert wasn't just tapped to organize a party but to be a full-fledged cast member on the third season of the show, which follows a group of women as they juggle their careers, motherhood and busy social calendars. But she says she couldn't get any airtime.
"I don't know there's anything I could've done differently to advocate for myself without looking obnoxious. I found in a lot of situations if you didn't scream the loudest or say the meanest thing you weren't heard. I was surprised because I really did film quite a lot. It's not like I'm timid and afraid to speak my mind. I'm just not inappropriate, and I'm not going to say something that's mean just for the sake of saying it. That's never going to be me. If that's what they're looking for then I'm probably not the right fit."
No word on whether or not her contract has been renewed for the fourth season, but after her five minute appearance this year, we imagine she'll be out of there faster than Kelly Bensimon's sanity and Countess LuAnn's potential at a career in music!

Is Nene Leakes Getting A Divorce?

Atlanta Housewife NeNe Leakes might soon be a single lady, if the rumors are to be believed.


NeNe’s husband, Greg Leakes, supposedly told LargeFM.com that he is seeking a divorce, and he wants spousal support. Since the couple first appeared on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” NeNe has begun earning more money than her estranged husband and he wants a refund on what he invested in the marriage.


"I put $300,000 of my own money to make sure she could blow up in that show,” he stated during a phone interview. “She's going to give me every dime of my $300,000 back." He also claims that the fame went to her head. 


Listening to the interview, we’re a little skeptical about whether this really was Greg. However, This follows news that the couple separated earlier this year. While NeNe denied the split, she confirmed on “Wendy Williams” last month that she and Greg are having marital problems. She did not, however, specify what those problems are.

Jill to Bethenny: What the Hell Happened to Us?



On Thursday's finale of The Real Housewives of New York, Jill Zarin decides to phone Bethenny Frankel because, she says, their fight has become "totally beserk."

"What the hell happened to us?" she asks her pal over lunch (see video, above). "I feel like we were married and then we separated, and I don't want to be separated."

As her eyes fill with tears, Frankel, 39, tells her: "Well, divorce can be ugly."

Zarin, 46, apologizes, adding that she feels "really bad" for refusing to reconcile with Frankel, whom publicly shunned after Frankel famously told her to get "a hobby."

Frankel tells her that a lot of monumental events occurred in her life - she got engaged, pregnant, lost her father -- and it hurt that Zarin, her pal of two years, wasn't there. She tells Zarin that she's been "disloyal" and that she's been "killed by this."

"I don't know how to build a relationship in the future because I am so damaged by this relationship," she says. "It's like a divorce."


Can the two become BFFs again?

Ramona: Why I Married My Husband Again

On March 14, exactly 18 years to the day after they first walked down the aisle, Ramona and her husband renewed their vows in Manhattan's posh Pierre hotel. "It meant so much to me to do it there," Ramona tells Life & Style, opening up exclusively about the special day. "It's where I originally wanted to get married."

Also very touching to Ramona: Her co-stars, who had been warring with one another all season, put aside their differences to attend the ceremony. "Jill [Zarin] put up a little bit of a fuss, and so did Kelly [Bensimon], but in the end, everyone came and had a wonderful time."

"This past year I've been renewing myself," she says. "I've renewed my career, my look, my friendships. I've renewed myself in so many ways, so I said, 'You know what, I want to renew my vows with my husband!'"

Danielle Staub: Pop Artist In The Making?

Danielle Staub, New Jersey‘s rabblerousing star, is following in the footsteps of Kim Zolciak and LuAnn de Lesseps by entering the world of pop music. In fact, Staub is currently recording a duet called “Real Close” with singer Lori Michaels, who wrote the track.

“It’s a song about having commitment issues — one person is leaving, the other person is staying,” Staub tells PEOPLE. “It’s called ‘Real Close’ because you want to pull the person closer.”

Staub says there will be five versions of the song, which will be released in about eight weeks. “For the main version, the vibe is very sexy, very raw,” she says. “There’s going to be a dance mix, but the main version won’t be dance.”

But can she sing? “I sang in an R&B band when I was a young teen,” Staub says. “It’s been a long time since I exercised [my musical chops] but when I was sitting down going over Lori’s music, this song grabbed me.”

As for her Real Housewives costars, “I don’t care what they think,” she says of their reaction to her move to become a recording artist. “I don’t have a relationship with them.”

VIDEO: Kelly Bensimon’s Anti-Bullying PSA



After suffering what she calls “systematic bullying” from her Real Housewives of New York City costars, Kelly Bensimon is speaking out and wants the public to know it’s “never okay” to be treated that way.

“I just want to clear the air,” Bensimon says at the beginning of a video posted on YouTube. “While filming the Real Housewives, there was a lot that happened but the most important thing that happened is one thing that I realized: Systematic bulling is never okay.”

The reality star, 42, who recently told PEOPLE that she didn’t have a nervous breakdown but rather a “nervous breakthrough” when she blew up at her costars, adds, “Four against one is never okay. Whether you’re a 4-year-old or a 10-year-old or a 40-year-old woman, being bullied or ganged up on is never okay.”

Her advice to those stuck in a similar situation: “Remove yourself,” she says. And if you happen to witness someone getting bullied, “Help them.”

Bethenny Frankel Size-4 Just 3 Wks After Baby

Just three weeks after giving birth to daughter Bryn, Real Housewives of New York's Bethenny Frankel is back to a size-4 swimsuit!

In the new issue of Us Weekly, Frankel, 39, reveals how she's already lost 29 of the 35 pounds she gained while pregnant with Bryn, born May 8.

"I don't believe in diets," says the chef and author of Naturally Thin, who wed Bryn's dad Jason Hoppy March 28.

Frankel stayed active while carrying Bryn, alternating yoga with 45-minute walks three times a week, and practiced portion control with a vegetarian diet.

Still healing since Bryn's C-section birth, the 122-pound star has decreased her walks to 30 minutes and continues to eat low-fat fare. A sample day's menu: a muffin and fruit for breakfast, a veggie sandwich and soup at lunch and BBQ chicken and a half a sweet potato for dinner.

Frankel admits to Us, "I'm still wearing maternity clothes, because they're comfortable." Still, she says, "I"m excited to get into my Louboutins again. No more swollen feet!"

Jill Zarin: Cried for 3 Days After Party Crashing

Jill Zarin tells UsMagazine.com she still can't get over the frosty reception she received surprising Ramona Singer, Alex McCord and Bethenny Frankel on vacation in the Virgin Islands.

"It was such a Mean Girls moment that I literally cried for like two or three days," she tells Us. "They didn't offer me a glass of water or a bathroom! We had just traveled nine hours, and they knew it. I had to pee! You have no idea what a schlep it was. Schlep doesn't even describe it!"

Zarin, 46, originally told Singer, 53, she wouldn't go on the trip -- which was to celebrate Singer's marriage vow renewal -- because of her feuds with Frankel, 39, and McCord, 36. But she tells Us she decided to swing by on her way to St. Bart's to declare: "'I'm here to make up with everybody!'"

Zarin says Singer and McCord refused to give her a chance to explain.

"Alex was the one to really throw me out," she tells Us. "If she said, 'I don't care‚' then Ramona would have had me stay. [And] why didn't Ramona say to Alex, 'Jill is my friend. She should have called, but I'm not throwing her out'?"

Says Zarin, "It was the most hurtful thing that's ever happened to me."
